Dwight Frye (with an E at the end) played Renfield in Dracula '31. Easily my all-time favourite film character.

Alice Cooper wrote a song about him, The Ballad of Dwight Fry (no E)...based on Renfield, but using Frye's name. Its a cool song.

Compared to alot of folks around here, I dont know jack. But thanks for the compliment all the same:)

As far as the 75th anniversary of Bride...I hate to disapoint you, but to the best of my knowledge they havent announced plans for a special edition. Sorry:( (though I could be wrong, it has happened before)

Agreed dude - personally I prefer Bride to the original Frankenstein. They're both great, but Bride just has that little something more.

I checked around on the net for you though...not looking like they're planning any more Anniversary editions:(

I think Bride is Whale's White Album. Bold, experimental, a culmination of style that shows what he's all about. So few movies examine so many facets of what makes life terrifying and difficult. The questions of faith, love, selfhood, societal restraint and our search for acceptance are dealt with really artfully. Although it's racist and overblown, I like his portrayal of Fu Manchu. He's a real embodiment of a country's irrational fear and horror movies are where we deal with irrational fear.

Did he do multiple Fu Manchu movies, or just Mask of Fu Manchu?

I thought Mask of Fu Manchu was pretty fun, pretty over-the-top but very entertaining.

You can get it in a pretty cool looking Karloff boxset:
