Universal Monsters Double Feature & Panel In Melbourne

To celebrate the launch of film historian, journalist and writer Emma Westwood’s tome on James Whale’s Universal Monsters classic THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935), Cinemaniacs will present a double-feature of THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN and FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN at Melbourne’s ACMI on August 26.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion hosted by Emma with critics/historians and contributors to her book: Cerise Howard, Dr. Eloise Ross and Andrew Nette.
About the book:
A cadaverous feast, an exquisite corpse brought to life before your eyes! Writer, journalist and mad scientist, Emma Westwood has edited and curated an essential collection of writing about one of the all-time classics of horror cinema, James Whale’s BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. From Jon Towlson’s analysis of the film’s censorship to Dr Dan Golding’s post-mortem of Franz Waxman’s score. From Sally Christie’s look at the Gothic feminine to Cerise Howard’s electrifying comparisons between Whale’s movie and Oldřich Lipský’s HAPPY END. A perfect surgeon’s bucket of glistening and glorious essays.
