I see a bad moon rising!

We got the candy . . . we're prepared . . . soon sly, disguised little ghosts and goblins will be at our door. So let's get in the mood! Remember this one??

The scariest of all movies was "Frankenstein". I remember seeing that movie when I was a kid! Man, scared the crap out of me! Want to hear something really scary? How about creating a monster and then giving him the wrong brain!!!! Check this out!

Pretty scary Huh??? Consider how Frankenstein created the monster. First he had to dig somebodyup . . . not an easy task. Had to be done at night so nobody could see what they were doing. Of course you are in a pretty creepy surroundings . . . well. . . I guess it could be worse?

As you can see I'm leaning on Mel Brooks "Young Frankenstein" pretty heavily this week. I loved that movie. I've watched it many times and still love it!!! Gene Wilder was funny but Marty Feldman was CRAZY!!! Check this out.

BONUS!
Just thought I would throw this clip in for good measure . . . Dr Frankenstein meets Igor for the first time at the train station.
