About The Bride of Frankenstein
One of the greatest movie sequels ever, James Whale’s film features most of the talent from the original, including Boris Karloff revisiting his iconic character of The Monster. Surviving his seeming demise from the first film, The Monster seeks love and companionship, forcing his masters to create a partner for him. The revelation of the Bride remains one of the most indelible sequences in film history, with Elsa Lanchester’s otherworldly looks punctuating the suspense. (2K DCP presentation)

About Freaks
DOUBLE FEATURE
The film will follow Bride of Frankenstein.
Dracula director Tod Browning’s Pre- Code horror film is one of the most controversial movies ever funded by a Hollywood studio. A passion project adapted from Browning’s experience working for a traveling circus, Freaks is notable for its use of actual sideshow performers and gained notoriety for its dark, confrontational themes of jealousy and revenge. This film is now celebrated as an allegorical statement about acceptance and tolerance in the face of incredible diversity. (16mm presentation)
