The Bride of Frankenstein

It fits in the genre of horror in many ways:

1. Dead bodies
2. Mises on scene such as Smokey graveyards. The monsters face (invented by Universal due to the writer Mary Shelly not drawing a picture of the monster this then became the iconography when we think of Frankenstein.)
3. Screaming
4. Gorey parts (When the monster rips Elizabeth's hart out)
5. strange scientific experiments (that have things to do with the science of the day) going wrong

The Producers
Universal
There was a rescission
the movie industry was going bust so they all decided to go separate ways, one company will do comedy one will do horror (universal).

In a modern perspective the film would not do that well. This is due to it being less thrilling then a more modern film. But in the 1930's i can see why it would be quite terrifying. Also at the time the science was a large part of there lives and their was a large amount of scientist trying to make life last forever. So this film corresponds with this and this is what made people scared.
Furthermore this makes people enjoy the film more by scaring them witch is the thrill they went for.

The benefit the horror genre had with the producers was the horror was a big seller around that time so they can make allot of money.
