Frankenstein is blue because this is the last official Frankenstein Week posting.
More Halloween posts coming soon. Anybody care about Phantom of the Opera? I mean the cool old Lon Chaney rotting skull head looking guy, not the cheesy half-masked Broadway ballad-singing sad sack.

Works for me.
ReplyDeletecheesy half-masked Broadway ballad-singing sad sack...hahahaha
ReplyDeletegreat stuff.
You'd love the orginal, and historical illustrations in Frankenstein: A Cultural History by Susan Tyler Hitchcock. I loved what she said about why the image of his flattened head persists, even though the orginal description depicts Frankenstein's monster as a bundle of pallid parts.
ReplyDeleteTo me, today's Frank has an almost tiki feel (somebody hand me a cocktail...).
ReplyDeletePhantom pictures? Delicious. I myself am also partial to the crazy bird look of the Phantom of the Paradise.
I love your shot at the half-masked quasi-Fabio phantom image. The nose-missing-bad-hairline Chaney version is the goods for me!
Thank you for sharing!
Murderously Yours,
JEREMY
