Elsa Lanchester plays both the titular bride and Mary Shelley, the novelist who originated the Frankenstein character and its myths. In this sequel to “Frankenstein,” both the monster and the crazed scientist who created him remain alive. The monster longs for a mate and the doctor’s mentor shows up to encourage another go. Lanchester’s Bride, with her streaked hair-do and harrowing scream, persists as a horror icon.
