Of all the sequels produced in the history of horror, only a handful have the distinction of being as good as or better than the originator, and Universal Pictures’ Bride of Frankenstein is one of them.
The latest subject of the docu-series Collection Complete (which takes an in-depth look into the lives of artists and the collections that fuel their work, as presented by Gemr, an app for collectors worldwide), the show’s newest episode takes a look at the impact of the James Whale 1935 classic on LA-based artist Micheline Pitt.
A deep dive into her life-long fascination with the film, the episode focuses on Pitt’s interest in the female horror icon, the character’s lasting impact on horror cinema and goth subculture, and its resonance on Pitt herself, who in a 2013 collaboration with MAC Cosmetics was transformed by Academy Award-winning special effects artist Rick Baker into the creature of her obsession: the Bride of Frankenstein.
