5. THE BRIDE OF FRANKSTEIN (1935) -- Establishing Sequence —> Prologue, and move into story. (Note: See the brief reference to the horror film genre in HM, on page 251.) This was the first Universal Studios horror/monster film that had an elaborate orchestral score. (At that time, Universal was less highly regarded as a "major" studio than several others. The biggest corporate entities were MGM, 20th-Century Fox, Paramount, Warner Brothers, and RKO.) Keep in mind that each of these studios had their own self-contained "Music Departments" and orchestras. You can learn more about this from the documentary "The Hollywood Sound," which is included in a forthcoming assignment below.)
