Dr. Frankenstein's Creation
It's Alive! Alive!
Some background about your costume idea...
Ever since the 1818 publication of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein we have shivered in fear of the pieced-together creature that haunts our nightmares. When Boris Karloff starred as the monster in the 1931 Universal Studios' classic film, the image was forever burned into our minds. Frankenstein's monster became a regular Halloween stand-by, for kids and adults alike.The monster was cemented further into pop culture history when The Munsters television show arrived and lovable Herman Munster gave new meaning to the creation of Dr Frankenstein. Many movie versions of the monster have come and gone, but the idea remains the same.
--
Your Costume is relatively simple to put together. An over-sized jacket, heavily padded to make your shoulders broader. Thick-soled boots you can stomp around in. Some yellow-green makeup, some "stitches" drawn on your wrists and neck, perhaps some plastic bolts as well. A flat-top head isn't a requirement but does complete your look. Now feel free to stomp down the sidewalk, arms stretched out in front of you, moaning.

- Yes, I love Frankenstein. My given name is Frankie so I was called Frankenstein around the Halloween by my brothers and sisters if I made them mad. They thought they were being mean but I loved it. LOL I really enjoyed the movie, Young Frankenstein. Bear hugs, Frankie
