Neil Burger Wants to Resurrect BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN

When it comes to classic movie horror, you can’t do much better than James Whale’s “Frankenstein” and “Bride of Frankenstein”.  While the original varied highly from Mary Shelley’s original (and she never wrote a sequel although “Bride” begins with a fun framing device of having Ella Lancaster play Shelley and recite the story to her brother Percy and Lord Byron; Lancaster later plays the titular Bride), it’s a classic in its own right, full of humor, sadness, thrills, yet all very thoughtful and poetic.
