    I've never seen a colour shot of her before. She was really lovely.

      First time I've ever seen that shot in color. Is it an actual color photograph, or was it recolored at some point?

      Lanchester was actually pretty cute. Not a typical Hollywood beauty, but she had something about her. She's cute at the beginning of the flick as Mary Shelly.

        I love the lip color. I wouldn't have thought that existed back then.

          Apparently after more research, the photo above is digitally enhanced. The below photos are from Universal Files but since faded a bit.

            The color on these color photos seem to have faded. But they are color.

              I'd love a Bride figure of how she actually looked. Even the Sideshow ones have the black hair and clown white skin. I don't know how well it be recieved though. People are so conditioned by years of the style guide Bride, they would probably be saying the doll sucks because she is pretty and has red hair.
              You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                Here is a cool sculpture from Mike Hill over at his site. Amazing.

                  That sculpture is amazing, a great likeness. The Bride looks a lot better with this color scheme, if you ask me. A lot more subtle, creepy and beautiful at the same time.

                    The sideshow premium format Bride is auburn and pale, but not glossy white.
                    Somebody made a bobble head like that as well. Not sure if it was neca or bbp.
                    Tmnt did monsters with April as the bride and although she does have black hair, she at least has a pale flesh skin tone.

                        I like the pale (but not white) look of the Hill sculpture as well.

                        If those second photos are indeed the real deal, that is interesting. Boris' makeup here is much more yellow than green. We've seen the home movies on the set of "Son" that clearly show a pale green monster. But I know they considered filming "Son" in color, and "Bride" was always to be B&W, so I guess the actual real color didn't matter, so long as he showed up pale and ghastly on screen.


                        EDITED TO ADD:

                        I just saw a thread over at UMA, where no less than Rick Baker was showcasing some of his paintings. He interprets the Bride as seen in the color photos posted in this thread. Obviously, Baker is a serious scholar of these characters, so if he says the Bride looks like this, I believe him!

                          That Mike Hill statue is absolutely mind-blowing...I also like these colors better too...Her hair is more the correct color and her skin is a nice pale corpse white and not clown white (you can see pink tones and purple-ish/blue blood vessel tones in it, making it look more realistic). The yellowish eye whites is a nice touch too.

                          The first Bride photo SeattleEd posted is certainly enhanced, she looks a little too healthy and pink. I think the second photo is more accurate, pale skin and dark red lips.

                              I have seen her at TRU but the retail was $23, that seems high.
                              How much is she near you guys?
                              I have seen her on the secondary market for less.
