1935 Gothic Horror Stripe Wall Paper
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Elsa Lanchester in her unforgettable role as the Bride of Frankenstein, directed by James Whale in 1935. The image captures Lanchester's striking presence and perfectly embodies the essence of this gothic horror masterpiece. Set against a backdrop of intricately patterned striped wallpaper from 1935, which adds an eerie yet elegant touch to the scene, Lanchester's hair is styled in a mesmerizing fashion that has become synonymous with her character. Her wild, electrified hairstyle stands as a visual representation of the monster she was created to be paired with. Lanchester's portrayal of the Bride remains one of cinema's most memorable performances within the horror genre. With her piercing gaze and haunting expression, she exudes both vulnerability and strength simultaneously. This photograph encapsulates all these elements effortlessly. Preserved by the British Film Institute (BFI), this print serves as a testament to Lanchester's talent and enduring legacy within film history. It reminds us why Bride of Frankenstein continues to captivate audiences even after more than eight decades since its release. As we admire this timeless image, it becomes evident that Elsa Lanchester truly brought life to one of cinema’s most iconic characters - forever etching herself into our collective memory as an irreplaceable figure in horror cinema folklore.
