I don’t think
it has ever
been fully explained
why the Frankenstein
monster
wore lifts.
I think I could
out-run the Mummy.
***
And handedly, too.
***
I might even slow
down a bit to let the
Mummy catch-up.
***
That way,
at the end of the day,
we both have a
story to tell.
Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween. I’ve also wondered about the lifts. Very fashion forward in a Harajuku visual-kei type of way, considering the time the film was produced. 🎃😘👻💀🧡

(1) The Frankenstein monster wore lifts because he was always looking over the director’s shoulder to read his lines, which were variations of “M-m-m-mm-!” and “R-a-a-a-gh!’
(2) My pappy tried to outrun my mummy, but I’m proof that he didn’t succeed.

Way to empathize with the undead. That may come in handy during the zombie apocalypse. Then again, saying, “You guys… they’re just hungry,” to your fellow living humans may not earn you any points.

Sure the undead are hungry for human flesh, but eventually they are going to be thirsty for a beverage, and who controls soda manufacturing? The living. And that is how we win.

From his haircut to the bolts in his neck to his shoes, he was an innovator. No doubt.

He wore lifts because that’s what Abby Normal used.
Just watched ‘The Mummy’ (Wolfman also) and tref it’s still not a bad flick. He was a little stiff after a few years in the old crypt so no worries on him catching you.
