Description
This sequel to 'Frankenstein' (1931) begins with the work's author,
Mary Shelley (Elsa Lanchester), revealing to Lords Byron and
Shelley that there is still more of the tale to be told...
Scientist Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) is recuperating from the
events of the first film, believing his creation (Boris Karloff) to
have been destroyed in a fire, when he receives a visit from his
former mentor Dr Praetorius. Praetorius wishes Frankenstein to
resume his experiments, but the latter refuses. When Praetorius
discovers the monster, alive and now able to communicate, he uses
it to kidnap Frankenstein's wife, thus blackmailing him into
creating a mate. Followed by 'Son of Frankenstein' (1939).
