Of all the sites celebrating Halloween all this month, one of the most original and beautifully executed is artist Thomas Boatwright’s sketch-a-day homage to Bride of Frankenstein on his Sequential Matinee blog.
Boatwright, a cartoonist and comic book creator, is stepping through the classic film with quick digital drawings, one key scene after another, that capture the characters and the sweep of the film, all done in pitch perfect black, white and grays.
I can’t wait for The Bride to show up!
