I checked the mail on my way in just a few minutes ago and found, to my great pleasure, Frankenstein Unbound (which may or may not be good but irresistibly features Raul Julia as the doctor) from Netflix and my new shirt (shirt.woot.com), the American Gothic drawing replacing the farmer and his wife with the Monster of and Bride of Frankenstein. This was after a fifteen minute walk home from the train, upon which I had been reading- you guessed it- Frankenstein. Oh, and I signed up with the National Novel Writing Month again yesterday to write my newest opus, The Undead War, featuring Frankenstein's monster.
What is my obsession with Frankenstein anyway? I was never all that infatuated with the monster. Maybe it's the Halloween spirit manifesting itself in me lately but I doubt it. I previously had intended to write a novel featuring Dracula and Dr. Frankenstein as the principal characters and I've been toying with a screenplay for a couple of years that is basically a retelling of the Frankenstein tale from another perspective. So, it has been with me for a while. Maybe I just need to finish one of these and get it out of my system.
