Get out of it you swine...my memory's not that bad! ...It was Boris that threw her into the pond after the flower petals...and she drowned!....erm?...didn't he?....erm?...i'm going shopping now Fingers...?..i'll think about it?...sure i'm right though!

My mistake, Lex! He did throw her in the lake, thinking she'd float!!

"Henry leaves to prepare for his wedding while Dr. Waldman conducts an examination of the unconscious creature. As he is preparing to begin dissecting it, the creature awakens and strangles him. It escapes from the tower and wanders through the landscape. It then has a short encounter with a farmer's young daughter, Maria (Marilyn Harris), who asks him to play a game with her in which they playfully toss flowers into a lake and watch them float. The monster enjoys the game, but when they run out of flowers, tragedy occurs. Due to his defective brain, the monster thinks Maria (unable to swim) will float as well as the flowers, so he picks her up and throws her into the lake, and the girl drowns. Realizing he has made a terrible mistake, the monster walks away feeling troubled and remorseful. This drowning scene is one of the most controversial in the film, with a long history of censorship."

Maybe I saw a censored version, I know it was "X" rated or was it "H" and we weren't supposed to get in!

Definitely would have been a 'H' when I first saw it at the 'Bugs Hut' [the star] up Sheffield rd Fingers...that was back in the late thirties though , when the staff used to turn a blind eye to 'quiet kids' being smuggled into the theatres by their older brothers. ...even if their intentions were only to scare the crap out of us little swines!

...It's funny though, as I remember...I wasn't all that scared of Frankenstein [brilliant film though...and Elsa Lanchester scared the hell out of me in the sequel! ]...but it was Bela Lugosi that really gave me nightmares in Dracula! ...and even more scary to 'this' little lad, was...Dwight Frye's 'Renfield'. [still sends a shiver down my spine when I see it! lol.]

...sorry if i'm waffling on buddy...but...God I love a good movie!
