All this month, we’ll be celebrating THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN on its 80th Anniversary year. Lots of information, great images and fun finds coming up in the days and weeks leading to — and perhaps beyond — Halloween!
Let’s kick it off in style with a spectacular painting by the brilliant William Basso…
William Basso’s collage painting of The Bride, like its
subject, is a patchwork of elements, slotted and stitched together to
unsettling effect.
In the Nineties, Basso worked as an artist with Stan
Winston’s special effects studio, contributing to such titles as EDWARD
SCISSORHANDS (1990), TERMINATOR 2 (1991) and INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (1994).
Since 2000, Basso has largely concentrated on his own projects, mixed media and
sculpture, informed by his abiding passion for splendidly creepy Halloween
themes and classic horror.
Basso’s website is
packed with terrific art, a blog and prints to buy, including the Bride
painting, Mate for a Monster, and
a superb companion piece, Man-Made, seen
here below.

Happy 80th anniversary to Bride of Frankenstein! This classic film is one of my all-time favorites. The Bride is such an iconic character and I love her story. Thank you for sharing this anniversary with us!
