COVE

In The Bride (1985), Dr. Frankenstein creates a creature who he calls Viktor. Then, Frankenstein is coerced to reanimate a recently dead woman to be Viktor’s mate. In this media representation, both Viktor and the reanimated woman, Eva, are created by Dr. Frankenstein. Eva is a beautiful woman with no indication that she was reanimated from a corpse. Contrastingly, Viktor is tall and has a leathery, deformed face that looks like a mask. He has disheveled dirty blonde hair and appears generally dirty. These representations of the monster bear no resemblance to the monster described in the 1818 text.
