This marks the first of eight films that paired Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. Both big names in Hollywood coming off of their huge successes of DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN. But while Karloff would continue his success in the years that followed, Lugosi’s career struggled. DRACULA would be his first major Hollywood role, and his biggest. Lugosi didn’t seem the right fit for many roles that better…

Number 26 on my Queer Icons Pride Project is Director James Whale James was a English film and theater director as well as an actor. Some of his most famous films include Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Old Dark House, and The Invisible Man. These films are all considered classic and have spawned many remakes. Born 1889 in England James discovered his artistic talent early on and studied art. With the outbreak of World War I he enlisted in the British Army and became an officer. He was captured by the Germans and during his time as a prisoner of war he realised he was interested in drama. Following his release at the end of the war he became an actor, set designer and director. His success directing the 1928 play Journey's End led to his move to the US, first to direct the play on Broadway and then to Hollywood, California, to direct films. Whale was openly gay throughout his career, something that was very rare in the 1920s and 1930s. As knowledge of his sexual orientation has become more widespread, some of his films, Bride of Frankenstein in particular, have been interpreted as having a gay subtext and it has been claimed that his refusal to remain in the closet led to the end of his career. James Whale inspires me not only because of his imagination but by his willingness to not conform to the expectations around him. During his time to be his authentic self was a bold move and I applaud him for it. #jameswhale #frankenstein #brideoffrankenstein #invisibleman #boriskarloff #elsalanchester #director #pride #rainbow #queer #gay #transgender #lesbian #bisexual #drawing #redsketch #prismacolor #pride2022 #prideproject #horrormovies (at Turlock, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfRFP-SL_zA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
October 13th, 2023, Inktober '23 Prompt # 13 - Rise. No other monster can rise by the power of lightning than Frankenstein's Monster. I wonder if people today wake up and rise out of bed and groan like Frankenstein's Monster.
