The 30′s and 40′s were a great time for cinema, I often forget that I’m watching a different era when I watching one from that period.

Love this movie!!

That chess scene with them name dropping Dracula and Frankenstein was totally bizarre. Also every mad scientist really needs a self destruct mechanism to keep the outside world from stealing and exploiting crude science experiments.

I remember watching Bride of Frankenstein when I was very young. Great review and memory jolt! That screaming lady sucks lol

Excellent. Thank You. Love these reviews.

Great review sadly only dracula and bride of frankenstein are the only golden age horror movies i have seen. I always thought it was weird with the name and all being bride of frankenstein
. Also awesome when u upload ur vids always comes out around the evening 5:30 – 6.00pm in Australia (AEST).
Another comment, early i kno but for next years Monster madness i’d say as a request and an idea is to do 10min reviews of directors that inspired u or u like persoanlly like such as todd browning, james whale, wes craven, eli roth, john landis, rob zombie just to name a few. I think it would be a pretty good idea since personally i believe your pretty professional when it comes to horror remember when i watching death puppy i thought it was pretty well done. (sorry for the really early suggestion i wouldn’t of remembered it next year since it only came to me last night)

Awesome long review. I wouldn’t really have the time/patience to watch the whole movie but these reviews sum it up perfectly so it helps a lot. It’s a great addition to give emotions and dialogues to a monster.
October 2, 2011 at 3:06 am
Yay number 2
James i´ve noticed you say “leever” instead of “leaver”
October 2, 2011 at 3:12 am
For those who have’t I recommend watching “Mary shelly’s Frankenstein” with Robert Deniro. Its good stuff, and pretty disturbing in parts. And come on! its Deniro…
October 2, 2011 at 3:19 am
Just picked up the 75th Anniversary edition of Frankenstein, as well as the Universal Classic Moster Collection edition of The Bride Of Frankenstein. Thanks for the great reviews this weekend, James. I really appreciate your work, especially around October. : )
October 2, 2011 at 3:43 am
You should make one of this but for Sci FI movies such as Back to the Future and so. Pick the movies you like the most and make a marathon like this one by reviewing one every day. That would be amazing.
October 2, 2011 at 3:57 am
All i have to say is WOW, cinemassacres monster madness Is off to a really great start I mean wow you really outdone yourself this year James, and if this wasn’t mind blowing enough I just cannot wait for the AVGN Movie.
October 2, 2011 at 4:39 am
awesome. these long reviews are just awesome.
October 2, 2011 at 6:26 am
Fire… no good.
October 2, 2011 at 6:44 am
I too agree that Bride of Frankenstein is a superior sequel. It’s my favorite Frankenstein movie of all time. This review is excellent. Keep up the good work, James. To me, I’ve always referred to the monster as Frankenstein. It’s better he has a name rather than being reffered to as The Frankenstein Monster. Frankenstein fits him perfectly.
Also, what are those movies in the intro at the beginning of the video? There’s a clip where a guy is turning into a monster and another clip where some chick is decapitating another chick’s head with an axe. What are the titles of those movies?
October 2, 2011 at 6:50 am
I always liked the 30s movies, special effects were still being developed so they did a lot to set an atmosphere. They usually get more out of me than any of the special effects ridden movies of today.

Tiny people:
End of The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1914).
Three people have been turned to stone, and one of them gets shrunk so his girlfriend can take him with her while she helps find the antidote. When the antidote is made, everyone is restored to life, except he’s still shrunk. He’s shortly restored and it’s obviously a simple effect with either film processing or forced perspective, but it is a tiny person onscreen predating 1935.
October 2, 2011 at 7:56 am
just for the note: dr. Frankenstein created the monster, so i guess the monsters last name would also be Frankenstein. like if the monster is the son of dr. Frankenstein. so its not illogical to call the monster “Frankenstein”.
October 2, 2011 at 7:57 am
Karloff throws Karl off. Too much pun?
October 2, 2011 at 8:36 am
Wonderful trivia and information in these reviews, James. You really know how to present these classic old films to a younger audience.
October 2, 2011 at 11:00 am
I was concerned a month or so ago when you said something to the effect of, “I’m busy because I have a lot to get together for Monster Madness this year”, that it would be changed with some crazy new look or something. My favourite Cinemassacre videos are clips from the material with a James voiceover, and it looks like we’ll have another great year of that.
Though the Dracula / Frankenstein AVGN videos had an awesome feel too, so something ilke that wouldn’t be too bad, either.
October 2, 2011 at 11:03 am
Dr. Pretorious is easily an inspiration for Scar.
*In the Castle Laboratory*:
Dr. Frankenstein: “Alright, Fritz, hand me the….NO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING DON’T PULL THAT!!!”
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM
October 2, 2011 at 12:59 pm
Fire bad! Fire bad! ^_^
Great review James – thank you for all of your hard work with this.
October 2, 2011 at 1:18 pm
What? Whatever happened to Safie?
October 2, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Love October! My favorite month with December of course my 2nd
One day, you should do a commentary or review on Frankenstein Unbound that starred John Hurt, Michael Hutchence of INXS and Raúl Juliá as Frankenstein in 1990.. Now that was a bit funky with time travel aspects and stuff
Monstah Madness rocks!
October 2, 2011 at 2:06 pm
actually, I have always known that Frankenstein was the name of the Doctor. I had just always assumed that the Doctor had named the monster after himself. I mean, since the doctor was the monster’s creator, doesn’t that sorta kinda in a really weird way almost maybe make the monster something similar to sorta kinda like his son? and so wouldn’t the Monster’s name be Frankenstein too?
October 2, 2011 at 2:11 pm
Dr. frakestien had a s=destruction lever to protect his work from being transferred to other scientists if he dies
October 2, 2011 at 2:21 pm
am I the only one who finds the bride hot?
October 2, 2011 at 2:30 pm
I don’t think you’re going cuckoo, James. It’s just your sense of humor looking at the weird little details that the average Joe Spud misses.
@kk__: That’s all well and good, but how does that explain what happens in the next movie? (That’s all to be said on that subject for the time being, folks.)
October 2, 2011 at 3:16 pm
Since today is my birthday, I always look at Monster Madness as my birthday present from you, James… And it gets better every year. I love your detailed analysis of these films, giving a lot of insight into them. Fantastic, looking forward to the rest of the month.
October 2, 2011 at 3:19 pm
I love October.
October 2, 2011 at 4:23 pm
James, you make October worthwhile, it’s better than Christmas.
October 2, 2011 at 4:36 pm
In college I took a class in which we watched and analyzed this movie. That’s how good this movie is.
October 2, 2011 at 5:16 pm
gd that was good too. <3 Monster Madness
October 2, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Next on the list, DRACULA!
i hope so
October 2, 2011 at 6:06 pm
I have a theory. We can alsmost say that the Mosnter is Frankenstein’s son. So we can call him Frankenstein, too
It’s like if the father named his son after him.
October 2, 2011 at 10:21 pm
BAHAHAHAH “WWhat a couple o’ dumb shits”…… seriously James.. i honestly couldn’t be bothered with holiday seasons, but for the past five years youve givin me a reason to look forward to october. man this shit its awesome
October 3, 2011 at 12:59 am
I like the idea, naming the monster after the creator. The “Frankenstein” 1000, now also available as a convertible!!
October 3, 2011 at 4:06 am
So THAT’S were the self-destruction-mechanism comes from? Interesting ^^
After the strong differences between the book and the first movie, it’s good to see that they merely split the book in two and put their own spin on it. The latter half of the book is my favorite, anyways XD
October 4, 2011 at 2:24 am
Hi, can someone tell me which movies are shown in the intro??
Thnx
October 4, 2011 at 12:43 pm
@Exalian
I can’t figure out the first movie in the intro with the guy turning into a monster, but I do the know the what movie the second clip. The second clip that shows a kid cutting off a woman’s head with an axe, that is from a 1981 movie called “Nightmare.” It’s available on DVD.
October 4, 2011 at 7:16 pm
Great stuff, i really wanna see this movie now.
Never knew it would be that polished for a 30′s flick.
October 5, 2011 at 1:20 am
Fire… no good! Hehe.. Not sure why I find that so funny. I loved the little factoids here as well. It’s going to be interesting to see how the rest of these movies turned out.
October 5, 2011 at 2:13 pm
WOW, from what movie is that first clip in the intro (the misforming head?)
October 6, 2011 at 11:44 am
Hey guys, what is your favorite videogame/ console. Want to discuss it? Head to http://retro1up.lefora.com/2011/09/21/favorite-games/
October 6, 2011 at 11:05 pm
I saw this for the first time back in the 80s, in school of all places. The only problem was that it was cut down: chop, chop, chopped down! Maybe only 10-15 minutes long. I seem to remember it being cut so that the bride’s scream is what causes the building to collapse. Kind of odd.
October 10, 2011 at 12:15 am
Bride of Frankenstein and Terminator 2 are kinda similar in how they add more humor and personality to the ‘monsters’.
Come to think of it, Arnold would’ve made a great Frankenstein’s Monster.
October 11, 2011 at 12:01 pm
Wow I really enjoyed seeing this classic movie review. I have always been curious of early horror movies history and you did a great job. Lookin forward to seeing all of monster madness this year!
October 16, 2011 at 2:27 am
James:
In regards to the tiny people. While their effect is nothing to sneeze at, it’s early filmmaker George Melies who you can thank for many of the oldest of old school camera tricks. He was a stage magician by trade, and treated the Lumiere brothers’ invention as a new way to spice up his act. Later, he would expand on his advances to tell stories, which include the first sci fi film: A Trip to the Moon.
At least one of these magic act experiments involved using some archaic method of luma matting to make his stage hands appear tiny.
October 21, 2011 at 4:11 am
Wow, Children of the Corn 2. I actually like that movie.
I think my favorite thing about this movie is Pretorious. He sort of has the same appeal as Ygor from Son of Frankenstein. They’re evil and immoral, and they love it.
October 22, 2011 at 6:44 pm
i bought this movie after i saw the review but the dvd stopped almost at the end got to buy another copy because i was really liking this movie. my fav part is when the monster meets the blind man it’s a very touchy scene.
January 2, 2012 at 8:27 am
Maybe they started calling the monster “Frankenstein” because it’s a family name and he was created by Frankenstein, who could be viewed as a father.
January 12, 2012 at 4:52 pm
perhaps the self destruct lever is left over from when Frankenstein was making the monster he needed a way to get rid of evidence if people come looking wouldnt he ya no before he became insane
February 5, 2012 at 9:57 pm
It’s sad that that chess clip with Karloff and Lugosi is the closest Universal ever came to a Dracula Vs Frankenstein movie
March 22, 2012 at 2:03 am
I just thought of something that may validate calling the monster Frankenstein. Since he was created by Dr. Frankenstein, the doctor is something like a father to him, meaning the monster could inherit the same last name.
