    Lio better have a boat handy, that tricycle won’t cut it. Frankenstein Castle is located in Mühltal, Germany (Yes, there really is one – and they used to have Halloween parties there).

    The Frankensteins vs Abroghasts on peculiar science. Hidden alchemists and secret labs. Over the centuries their combined experiments and rivalries can get scary and dangerous. And not just for them alone! Their abilities to not only bring life to death, but also to mold that life into so many things. They have become lackadaisical because of that precious power. But they get into places that know nothing about them or what they do and are shocked and horrified. Some people get injured or killed so they are “repaired” but generally are never the same again. It may be time. I wonder where it will be this time?

    Though Frankenstein didn’t really use lightning in the story. He just used “life giving machines” to make it happen. Don’t confuse the movies with the original story.

    However I conceived of the idea of cosmic lightning which has both life giving and life taking properties. His secret was in the filter to separate the two and store the killer rays in accumulators and the life rays did the job. (His hypothesis was that was how life first formed in the shallow seas of a a primal Earth.) He wanted to see if he could harness it. He also suspected that the original atmosphere was very different and somehow filtered out enough of the deadly rays to allow for life to be energize.

    The secret is cosmic lightning. Not, regular lightning it won’t work. And it has to have the killing part of the cosmic energy filtered out so just the life giving cosmic energy remains. Only in the story there was no lightning storm to use. That was just in the movies. He vaguely mentions “life giving machines” he uses. No big resurrection scene. And as to why he went the extra mile to use sewn up bodies of different people instead of an intact one to begin with is still a mystery.

    There was no assistant, no brain switching none of that is in the actual story. The creature can speak, and reason. NO flat head or terminal nodes in his neck either.

    And, like with “Dracula”, many of the movies are much better than the book!

    Shouldn’t that road sign read: “Addams Family Mansion”?
