and thus the horror genre in Hollywood was born.

Over the next few years, all major studios tried to replicate the success of Frankenstein

with their own Gothic horror films.

Paramount released Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Warner Brothers released The Mystery of the Wax Museum.

MGM released Freaks.

United Artists released White Zombie.

But it was universal that continued to be the number one studio for horror,

with several more Gothic horror hits over the next few years, including The Mummy, Murders in the Rue Morg, the Black Cat, and James

Wales, The Invisible Man, and the Old Dark House.

Finally, in 1935, Universal began production for a sequel to their biggest hit, Frankenstein. James Whale, who was

initially reluctant to return to the world of Frankenstein and to horror in general,

insisted he would only take this project if he could bring a more fun, comedic tone to the story.

The result was Bride of Frankenstein, a truly unique horror sequel that remains unmatched

in its balance of comedy, horror and pathos.

90 years on, Bride of Frankenstein is widely regarded as one of the best horror sequels ever made,

the best universal monster movie, and the best film in the first golden age of the horror genre.
