240 Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

- Editing after previews resulted in the loss of a subplot in which Karl
imitates the Monster's murderous modus operandi to eliminate his miserly
aunt and uncle and direct the blame away from himself.
- The working title was ``The Return of Frankenstein''.
- When the castle is self-destructing, the Doctor can be seen against the far
wall. Yet he is next seen outside in the arms of his beloved, watching the
explosions. There were two endings originally: the first had Doctor
Frankenstein dying within the castle and this was filmed. But the producers
judged this a bit harsh and wanted a happy ending, so they shot the extra
footage (too expensive to re-film the explosions).
