They're both amazing but I always found Bride to be the superior film of the two.

I find both Frankenstein and Dracula kind of slow and bad versions of the books. I get the innovations in visual thrills, especially with Karloff, but its a very dumbed down experience next to the book and that ending with the father drinking with the maids is just corny.
I think Bride pushes boundaries more--how many reanimated stitched-together women had been in film before this? but it also has some groan humor.

How do you rate/rank these two? Have owned the Universal boxset for years. Not once did I ever give 'Bride' a chance despite numerous recommendations from posters on the old IMDB. I expected some 'ripoff' of Frankenstein involving a woman monster with a cameo or two by Frankenstein's Monster. I really missed out and am glad I finally gave it a watch after owning it all of these years. Tremendous - never knew 'The Bride' was only in it for a total of about 3 minutes tops. More about the monster's quest to overcome 'loneliness' and try to fit in in society and find a friend. We actually get to hear him talk and you can't help but have a sense of compassion for the Monster (yeah - I know - I'm late to the party). I give them both 9/10 beers  Anybody else rate 'Bride' as 'Frankenstein's' equal or even rate it slightly higher? Karloff should have been nominated for 'The Bride' |

They make a great double feature.

Where was the benefit? Also, poor Alexander. And, as it turned out, poor Hans also. |
