Frankenstein (Both Young and Old!)

October

Frankenstein is probably one of my favorite books. I love it. I normally really hate scary stuff, but this book is great. Highly recommended. And Young Frankenstein is one of my favorite movies. I try to watch it every Halloween, because, again, I hate scary stuff.

So you can imagine my complete delight when mentalfloss did 38 Essential Facts about Frankenstein yesterday, followed by 9 More Frankenstein Facts this morning. Heaven. They included these two videos, which are interviews and outtakes from Young Frankenstein. These videos are amazing. This is real movie-making, my friends. Madeline Kahn is beautiful and hilarious. Teri Garr wrote the book on dumb blonde comedy. Gene Wilder is…a legend. Nothing less. Who knew that was Gene Hackman as The Blind Man? If you have any interest in awesome things, these videos are right up your alley. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore.
