Buckley plays The Bride, along with Mary Shelley and another character named Ida, sporting platinum blonde hair, bleached eyebrows, and a bold face. Tattoo Bale takes on Frank, the monster, with heavy prosthetics for a rough, stitched-up look straight out of the classic tale. Bale spin up to six hours in the makeup chair each day for his detailed look, way more than Buckley's 90 minutes. She got hers down to about an hour and a half, calling it manageable next to his routine. The long sessions tested their patience, but Bale loved his team. They stayed perfectly still for hours, then screamed at the end to let off steam and shake off the frustration. Those daily releases turned into fond memories for everyone involved. She pulled from real-life artists like Maggie Hambling for her take on Mary Shelley, capturing that wild, free-spirited energy with messy hair, and a constant cigarette.
