Admittedly, no version of Frankenstein that exists is scary. They're either intentionally or unintentionally funny.
Frankenstein (1931): This is marvelously entertaining. There's a reason that people associate Frankenstein as the name of the monster instead of the name of the scientist, and it's this film(which also isn't an accurate portrayal of the book). Forget about the wrinkled sky and theatrical acting, just forget it, this film is incredible and that's my final statement on it.
Bride of Frankenstein (1935): I absolutely love Frankenstein, I do, but this film is a thousand times better! It more accurately portrays why the monster is the way he is, and it's because the public treats him so negatively. So he accidentally killed a local village girl in the first part, but he didn't understand what he was doing. And now he's killing you all on purpose because you stare at him like he's some big ugly monster. Oh, right.
I say you make tonight a Frankenstein night! These are terrific films!
