Did you know-
That Bela Lugosi was taller than Boris Karloff. Bela was 6'1". Boris was 5'11". On the other hand, Lon Chaney Jr. beat them both at 6'2"!
And Glenn Strange-who played the Monster in ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN opposite Bela and Lon stood over both of them at 6'6"!!!

[The Burgomaster]

David Prowse (THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN, FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL, STAR WARS, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE) is 6'6"!

David Prowse (THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN, FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL, STAR WARS, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE) is 6'6"!

Interstingly, both Strange and Prowse appeared as the Monster equal times- Glenn in HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN,. HOUSE OF DRACULA, and ABBOTT AND COSTELO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, and Prowse in CASINO ROYAL, HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN, and FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL.
Of course he appeared in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and lots STAR WARS movies too.

The equal of the Weekly World News- where the Vampire Boy is buzzing around and Ronald Reagan is shaking hands with aliens.

He was born with it I can draw cartoons. Einstein, Da Vinci, Tesla- ain't no weird aliens mating with apes or any s**t. Or maybe it is.
Fact is NONE OF US REALLY f**kING KNOWS.
I wasn't there. Neither were you.

The first movie version of Frankestein was filmed in 1910?  The Karloff version didn't appear until 1931. 

The book was first published on January 1st 1818?  We should all start to celebrate new Years with a Frankenstein movie.

We're not "movie nerds".  We're bad movie fans.
