ÃÂAlthough Tuesday's film might have been a little slow and not as scary as some other films, it obviously played an important role in defining the horror film standard. I think that almost every aspect from the movie has been copied. The fact that the "bad guy" is usually odd and in some ways misunderstood is the basis for almost all scary movies. Who is to say that the stalker can't be just the average Joe? It seems like the "peeping tom" scene was developed here, too. In most scary movies, the killer watches his prey from a distance before he attacks. This sort of situational irony (the audience knowing something the character doesn't) builds up tension and suspense. It is a brilliant idea and it is apparent why it has been recycled.ÃÂ(Frankenstein: The Beginning of a Genre - C.J. Nielsen in Yahoo! Clubs, Wabash Soundtrack Tutorial)ÃÂI'm sorry to say but I can't see this as a classic horror film.

Bride of FrankensteinIt seemed to be more of a drama with slow acting skills then an all out horror flick. I also am sad to say that I didn't find the music adding to the scare factor of the film...it was too light and had a fake romantic feel to it. The only part, where I felt the music actually added something was when Dr. Plitorus (or however you spell it) came to the door. The music let you know that this guy was supposed to be the evil guy or villain in the movie. This "theme" sound has been played throughout the movies and is even used today. Sure it isn't the same sounding, but the point of the music is to let you know that this is a bad person. Other then that, I don't see how anyone could...
