What? No Boquet To Throw? And No One To Catch It??????????????????????????????????

                    As far as weddings go, girls, the one in "The Bride Of Frankenstein" was a bust.  No romantic formalities, and one had to feel sorry for the Monster getting jilted by the bride, which only proves that even a woman fashioned from dead bodies can still have better taste in men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                       When I saw this as a small child, I did not understand the opening scene.  I had no idea the actress playing Mary Shelley and the Bride were one and the same.   I was fascinated by the hair in the film--not only the bride's, but Valerie Hobson's as Elizabeth.

                        The Bride was constructed from the body of a 19-year-old girl.  Elsa Lanchester looked on the very far side of 19.  Even as Mary Shelley.  How she stood on stilts for so long I will never know.  I never completely mastered the pogo stick.

                         Still, it was fun all the same.

                            As for "A Bucket Of Blood," the mixture of horror and humor Corman was trying to attain was not reached, until the following year, with "Little Shop Of Horrors."  So, this was not as fun the first time around.  Though Sventoonie and Company livened things up.

                           But, really, "The Bride Of Frankenstein" is such a gem, it should have been shown tomorrow night, the Saturday before Halloween.  What is being shown?
