From HANCOCK HISTORICAL MUSEUM
The Hancock Historical Museum invites the public to the next installment of its 2025 classic movie night series on Friday, Oct. 24, with a screening of the Universal horror film “The Bride of Frankenstein (1935),” directed by James Whale and starring Boris Karloff and Elsa Lanchester.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., and the film will begin at 7 p.m. Admission is free, and popcorn and other refreshments will be available.
Considered a masterpiece of early cinema, “The Bride of Frankenstein” is widely regarded as one of the greatest horror films ever made. Both haunting and darkly humorous, the film continues the story of Dr. Frankenstein’s monstrous creation as he demands a mate, leading to the birth of one of the most iconic figures in film history.
The evening will feature a special introduction by John King, president of the Ray Browne Pop Culture Association at Bowling Green State University, who will provide insight into the film’s historical and cultural significance, as well as its enduring impact on the horror genre.
The museum’s classic movie night series offers audiences the chance to experience films in a historic setting, enhanced by expert commentary that brings added depth and appreciation to each screening.
The remaining 2025 classic movie night lineup includes:
- Nov. 21 – Dark Passage (PG, 1947)
- Dec. 19 – It’s A Wonderful Life (PG, 1946)
All films will be shown at the Hancock Historical Museum, located at 422 W. Sandusky St., Findlay, Ohio.
