Directed by James Whale, Produced and distributed by Universal Pictures

The beginning is based on the Switzerland hiking trip that Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and Mary Shelley take as they write ghost stories to each other. Mary reveals that both Victor (who's now Baron Henry Frankenstein) and the Creature (he's now good-spirited) survived the angry mob, drastically changing the ending to the original novel. "Henry" is now under the apprenticeship of Dr. Pretorius, who encourages him to create life once more and creates a bride for the Creature. Speaking of, the Monster is still on the run due to miscommunications.

FUN FACT: One of the producers of the 1927 Frankenstein play, John L. Bladerston, becomes a writer for this movie.
