Summary: History, horror, and humor
A short historical scene opens the film. We find Mary
Shelley, her husband Percy, and Lord Byron gathered
together discussing Mary's novel. The novel was written as
a result of discussions like this which caused Mary to
have a nightmare that sparked the idea for the novel.
It is an interesting touch to have Elsa Lanchester playing
both Mary and the bride of the monster. It could be a bit
Freudian indicating that perhaps she desired to be the
monster's bride. In any event, the film is not only
genuinely frightening, but it also has some sly humor to
offset the horror.
It is a Universal horror film in grand style -- one of the
best in the Universal series.
