Disney’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow, 1949 & Bride of Frankenstein, 1935 · PG

A family-friendly horror double feature! Enjoy Disney's Sleepy Hollow, followed by Whale's iconic masterpiece, Bride of Frankenstein. A family-friendly addition to our Home for Horror Series: Disney’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949, 34 min. ) followed by Bride of Frankenstein. (1935, 85min.) THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW – The Walt Disney Studios’ animated adaptation of Washington Irving’s tale — narrated and sung by Bing Crosby — remains one of the most enduring pieces of Sleepy Hollow storytelling ever made. In just 34 minutes, it captures Ichabod Crane’s arrival in the Hudson Valley, his rivalry with Brom Bones, and the fateful ride through the woods. Originally released as half of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, this short precedes select family features throughout the series. This one is home movies for us — we’re proud to open our screenings with it. BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN – James Whale’s sequel to his own 1931 Frankenstein is widely considered one of the finest horror films ever made — and the rare sequel that surpasses its predecessor. Boris Karloff returns as the Monster, now speaking, seeking companionship, and haunted by cruelty; Elsa Lanchester’s brief, iconic performance as the Bride gave cinema one of its most recognizable images. Whale’s mixture of gothic dread, dark comedy, and genuine pathos is unmatched. A cornerstone of Universal Horror on the big screen where it belongs.
