darchildre: elsa lanchester as the bride of frankenstein, applying makeup (this is my girly icon)
[personal profile] darchildre
So, on that swap-bot thing that I do, I signed up for an ATC* swap because it was Frankenstein themed. ATC's are not really my thing - I don't tend to be too handy at paper crafts - but I am apparently willing to try anything if I can work the Bride of Frankenstein into it.

So, I was working on my card and looking at all the Frankenstein pictures I have lurking on my computer and thought, why not have a sort of Bride of Frankenstein picspam? Because surely everyone else also wants random pictures from Frankenstein movies. Of course they do.



We begin with a family portrait: Drs Frankenstein, Pretorius, and children. Gosh, aren't they all lovely?



Monsters! A particularly atmospheric Monster at that. I think that is my favorite picture of the Bride. Did you know, Elsa Lanchester had red hair? That huge Nefertiti hair-do is flaming red. That blew my mind when I found out, so I share it with you.



Mad scientists! The picture is appropriately green-tinted, too. This is one of the few points in Bride where Henry gets to be kinda cool. Oh, Henry. You are a giant doof and a terrible dad, but I love you. (I feel that my love for Dr Pretorius rather goes without saying.)


And now, backstage/offscreen photos!


Monsters putting on makeup!



Monsters having lunch!



Pretty much, I think these two pictures are the cutest goddamned things in the whole world.



Group photo!



Unexpected Peter Cushing! (Hush, he's beautiful. And Curse of Frankenstein is a great film. Though I think this may be from Frankenstein Created Woman.)


And finally, my favorite piece of Frankenstein ephemera ever. I love this poster immensely.


Now you should all go watch Frankenstein movies. Because that is what I will be doing.
