It's been a while, hasn't it? (Like how I tied my absence in with Frankie in the title?) I doubt anyone noticed, but I sorely missed showing these movies while I was drowning in school work. Now that it's summer break, I'm thrilled to be picking these back up. The next movie is the only kind of Frankenstein movie I ever hold any hope for; one that knows its making an abomination out of the original material. I feel as if these movies almost hold a closer message to Mary Shelley's work; usually having the scientists or townspeople as the goofs while the Monster merely stumbles around, looking for food. 

The last move I showed was The Mysterious Island (1929). While it was a rushed attempt at making a talkie, it was a great Sci-Fi, comedy, romance, whatever it was for its time. I don't think I'll ever forget the 'merpeople' or the their giant monster (aka a crocodile? with spikes stuck to its back).
