About Dracula - it is interesting how he combined some traits of vampire and werewolf. Hairy palms etc. Especially as, in some versions of Slavic folklore, if you were a werewolf in life (a condition usually self-induced. You need to be a powerful magician to turn into a wolf, not turn into one because someone bitten you) you might well become a vampire after death.

Also, Stoker originally planned the name of Count Dracula to be... (drum roll) Count Vampyre! Which would kind of give everything away

If we disagree, that much, at least, we have in common

I can't comment on Dracula, but as as far as Frankenstein goes, a more faithful adaptation of the book would be interesting, although they'd have to work around the massive Idiot Ball that Frankenstein has to grasp for the plot to proceed.

For those who haven't read the book:

In the original, the monster isn't evil from the start. It's mostly neutral until the doc pisses him off. Basically, the monster makes Frankenstein promise to create a female for him, so he won't be alone for the rest of his life. Frankenstein agrees, but gets cold feet while he's making the second monster, for this reason: He's afraid that the two of them will reproduce and their progeny will take over the world. His response? Destroy the female that he promised the original monster. This makes the monster pissed, and it resolves to basically make Frankenstein's life hell, which results in pretty much everything bad that happens in the novel. The reason this is an Idiot Ball is because Frankenstein, who's a good enough biologist to be able to fashion a living creature out of dead tissue, never thinks that he could just make the female infertile. Instead he goes back on his promise and makes a mortal enemy out of his creation.

@JT: ... or figures that A body reconstituted from corpses should be incapable of bearing children in the first place?

i always figured that Victor's irrationality was because he was teetering on the verge of a psychotic break.

@Crimson: True, but in that case he shouldn't have been able to create the female in the first place.

@Kegisak: I'm willing to spot him that one, given that his whole MO is "create living body from nonliving tissue." If he's able to make a corpse alive, one would assume it means that the tissue he uses works properly. It still doesn't mean it wouldn't be trivially easy to "forget" the ovaries or something.

That's how the story is framed. Frankenstein is telling him his story.

a pony book club.

I'm not sure taping a book is sufficient. Shouldn't the club be made of books?

@Story: Yeah. The story opens with the sea captain finding Frankenstein and hearing the story.

You know, isn't taping stuff to weapons a signature of a series of videogames? I think it was called Dead Space.
