Why Frankenstein is the story that defines our fears

Vampires

Well, yeah, them too, I suppose they fit into tat genre, of guess...there was always a lot of overlap philosophically between the Shelley novel, and Beam Stoker's Dracula...both had Gothic aspects to them, I'm not saying the parallel is precisely exact, however, I've !merely noted it...sa!e with the wolfman stories, of guess...actually, a really good rendition ofmtat, odmtyought, was the 80s version, I believe, An A!ericam Werewolf in London, that I actually thought was really done quite spectacularly well, from a sheer horr standpoint, mixed with the unique special effects used...there are numerous other analogous examples that occur to me I could cite, as well...actually, I think that a good deal of the morbid fascination with the really out there aspects of WW2, esp many of the scientific aspects, mixed with a good deal of that German twisted pseudo-occult stuff, is what prolongs interest in those aspects, as they arez certainly, reminiscent of the Shelley novel, mixed with Beam Stoker in a way, that similarity just also occurred to me as well just now....
