9 Bride Of Frankenstein James Whale's 1935 horror masterpiece, Bride of Frankenstein, is in many ways a spoof of Whale's 1931 original, Frankenstein. Bride of Frankenstein is equal parts science-fiction horror and camp comedy. It is filled with subtle humor and several comedic references to the original, all while maintaining its gothic tone and premise.

It is genuinely frightening as well as being genuinely funny. Michael J. Fox gives a particularly memorable performance as Frank Bannister - an architect who learns that he can communicate with ghosts.
