Doble session:
Frankenstein (James Whale, 1931)
Dr. Henry von Frankenstein is working on a ghastly experiment: to build a new human being out of fragments of corpses. To do so, every night he creeps into cemeteries to cut the parts he needs out of buried corpses.
The bride of Frankenstein - La novia de Frankenstein (James Whale, 1935)
After Dr. Frankenstein's monstrous creation escapes, the sinister Dr. Praetorius proposes to the scientist that they create a companion for the monster.
First Fernando Cossío will give a brief presentation and after the screening there will be a question and answer session.
