The Bride of Frankenstein

April 14, 2023 Scott Smith Leave a comment

Tonight, Bryan and I say goodbye. Last year we set out on a journey to see how well some of the highest (and lowest) regarded horror movies stood up to the viewing of a newbie to horror. There were some surprises along the way for sure. And while there are plenty more movies to watch, at this point we’re passing the torch to you, the listener to decide what’s good and what’s bad. We leave you with one last classic, The Bride of Frankenstein.
