Bride of Frankenstein Trivia Questions
1. The movie opens with three literary greats discussing the novel 'Frankenstein'. Who are they?

From Quiz 'Bride Of Frankenstein' Universal Classic

Answer: Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley

What a wonderful way to start the flick. The other two ask Mary to continue her story, and so the tale begins.

2. The character of the bride is listed in the opening and closing cast-list credits in a certain and specific way. How is it listed?

From Quiz "Bride of Frankenstein" Lives!

Answer: The Monster's Mate....?

Although Elsa Lanchester portrayed both Mary Shelley and "The Monster's Mate," it was listed just as Boris Karloff was listed at the beginning of "Frankenstein" (1931), with a question mark, not the actor's name.

3. Who plays Mary Shelley?

From Quiz 'Bride Of Frankenstein' Universal Classic

Answer: Elsa Lanchester & Lanchester

Isn't it ironic that she played both the Creator, Mary, and the Creation, the Monster's Bride?

4. Of all the major characters that were still living at the end of the first movie, "Frankenstein", which two were NOT included in the sequel, disregarding the flashback to the first movie?

From Quiz "Bride of Frankenstein" Lives!

Answer: Victor Moritz and Baron Frankenstein

Although Baron Frankenstein (Frederick Kerr) is referred to at the beginning of the film, he never makes an appearence, and one may infer that he has died because his son Henry is called Baron by the first time Henry meets Doctor Pretorius, who mentions the change. Victor Moritz (John Boles) was Henry's friend in the first film, but he must have had enough of Henry's experiments, because he doesn't make an appearence, nor is he mentioned. Both Fritz (Dwight Frye) and Doctor Waldman (Edward Van Sloan) were killed by the monster in the first film.

5. Why are Hans and his wife so anxious to make sure that the Monster is dead?

From Quiz 'Bride Of Frankenstein' Universal Classic

Answer: He had killed their daughter.

Their young daughter, Maria, was the child the Monster had accidentally drowned.

6. Who does Hans's wife pull up from the wreckage of the mill?

From Quiz 'Bride Of Frankenstein' Universal Classic

Answer: Monster

She reaches down into the rubble, graps a hand, and pulls. It is the hand of the Monster, not her husband.

7. How old was actress Valerie Hobson, at the time she appeared in "Bride of Frankenstein" as Elizabeth?

From Quiz "Bride of Frankenstein" Lives!

Answer: 17

Yes, hard to believe, but Valerie was only seventeen! Although she had an English accent, she was born in 1917 in Ireland. She also appeared in "The Werewolf of London" (1935), and as Estella in David Lean's "Great Expectations" (1946). Interesting to note: James Whale wanted Mae Clarke to again play Elizabeth, as she had in "Frankenstein," but she was in poor health, so Valerie Hobson was cast.

8. Who plays the part of Elizabeth?

From Quiz 'Bride Of Frankenstein' Universal Classic

Answer: Valerie Hobson

Hobson replaced Mae Clarke, who was Elizabeth in 'Frankenstein'. O'Connor plays Henry Frankenstein's housekeeper. Mary Gordon plays the wife of Hans, who got the surprise at the mill.

9. Who plays the sinister Dr. Septimus Pretorious?

From Quiz 'Bride Of Frankenstein' Universal Classic

Answer: Ernest Thesiger

He did a fantastic job as the the creepy old 'Mad Scientist', didn't he? Edward Van Sloan played Dr. Van Helsing in 'Dracula' (1931). Claude Rains played Lord Talbot in 'The Wolf Man' with Lon Chaney, Jr. Bela Lugosi, of course, played to the Hilt that notorious Transylvanian blood-sucker, Dracula.

10. How did Henry Frankenstein become acquainted with Dr. Pretorious?

From Quiz "Bride of Frankenstein" Lives!

Answer: Walter Brennan

Walter Brennan can be seen holding an axe, in profile on the right for an instant. This was far from Walter Brennan's first film, he had been appearing in over ninety bit parts in films since 1926! He went on to be the most beloved and recognizable character actor in Hollywood. Beginning in 1957, he was in a popular television series called "The Real McCoys", playing Grandpa Amos McCoy.

13. Who composed the music for "Bride of Frankenstein"?

From Quiz "Bride of Frankenstein" Lives!

Answer: Franz Waxman

This was Franz Waxman's first big Hollywood movie, and he composed a magnificent score that was later used as stock music in Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers serials. His score is so evocative, all you have to hear are the first few notes, and you know where you heard it first. The monster, Dr. Pretorius, and the bride all have their own themes or motifs that coincide with their appearences in the movie.

14. Where did Pretorious tell Henry his creations came from?

From Quiz 'Bride Of Frankenstein' Universal Classic

From Quiz "Bride of Frankenstein" Lives!

Answer: "I do hope he won't upset Henry."

It comes off as very odd, the way she talks to herself outside the door, but poor Elizabeth is a woman who says she is seeing things, apparitions that Henry can't see, so talking to herself is the least of her problems!

17. Dr. Pretorius toasts to his and Henry's brand-new partnership by saying: "To a new world of ________________!"

From Quiz "Bride of Frankenstein" Lives!

Answer: gods and monsters

The quote was used for the wonderful 1998 film loosely based on the later life of James Whale, "Gods and Monsters."

From Quiz "Bride of Frankenstein" Lives!

Answer: "I can smell the ghosts already."

Karl is actually a combination of three different characters; one, the man who kills his uncle; two, the man who assists Pretorius in grave-digging; and three, the man who assists in the final scenes who was named Karl, but James Whale had Dwight Frye play all three as one, Karl. Dwight Frye seems to be in many important Universal horror movies: "Dracula" (1931), "Frankenstein" (1931), "The Invisible Man" (1933), "Son of Frankenstein" (1939), "Ghost of Frankenstein" (1942), and "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman" (1943).
