Encouraged by the catty, incorrigible Doctor Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger), Frankenstein (OK, fine: Frankenstein’s monster) becomes convinced he can escape from his own loneliness only in the arms of another of his own kind. Of course, he’s unique, so the only solution is to build a bride. Which is a bad idea on its face, but the doctor, Henry Frankenstein’s old mentor, is too interested in playing god (and making time with the handsome young Henry) to be bothered with any of that. The Bride naturally isn’t thrilled with the situation, nor interested in starting a relationship mere minutes after her own reanimation, forcing the monster to conclude they’d all be better off dead (again)—an extreme decision, certainly, but one that captures the mood at the end of any bad romance.
