THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
James Whale directed this superb sequel to his Frankenstein movie in 1935, allowing Boris Karloff to reprise his starring, mostly grunting role as Frankenstein’s Monster – but also allowing the sequel to be stolen by Elsa Lanchester, in the dual role of Mary Shelley (the actual author of the original Frankenstein novel) and, when brought back from the dead, as the punk-coiffed Monster’s Mate.
