• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the list. Number four Bride of Frankenstein, which I'm sure
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you would argue should be higher than some of those
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: other I.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Think that's my favorite of the old Frankenstein movies because
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: it opens with Mary Shelley and Percy Shelley and Lord
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Byron and they're talking about creating this horrible movie and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: our horrible Book of Frankenstein book, and then it segues
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: into the Bride of Frankenstein.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So let's save the rest of this list.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: We've hope you'd enjoyed another list with Radio from Hell
