Hello, darling. Yes, sirree, it's little old me, that gal with a walk that makes

a boy scoff, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. And welcome back to Movie Mac, a

Southland tradition here in the Southland.

And this time around, we're serving up a classic tale of gothic horror.

Classic, that's B -L -A -S -I -C -K.

Of course, I'm talking about... Frankenstein. Robert Foxworth stars as

monster mucker extraordinaire, Victor von Frankenstein. And Bo Svensson plays

that spare parts wonder, Frankenstein's monster.

Only in this version, they call him a giant on account of nobody had the nerve

to tell Big Bo what the part really was.

Now, I've never actually read the book, but I understand that there was one. And

it was written by some guy named Shelley.

And for all I know, it might have been Shelley Berman.

Then some chick named Mary got her name attached to it. I mean, she probably did

the typing for whoever did the actual writing.

But enough of this intellectual banter. After these commercials, it's

Frankenstein, right here on Movie.

This summer, dive into something new. Huckleberry Chicken Tee at the South.

Summer! You've got the taste for something new.

Summer. Can you take in so light, so cool?

Summer. A whole new taste like a summer breeze.

So bright, so tangy. Give me one please.

Taco Bell. Chicken fiesta style. It's just me.

You've got the look.

You've got the look.

The jaw -dash look.

You've got the look.

Montana.

Hey, Marino.

Great game, man. Oh, thanks.

A draw play in the second quarter. Great choice.

You make a choice because it feels right.

Can I buy you one?

It's the least you can do.

Diet Pepsi.

100 % NutraSweet. Here you go. Don't drop it. 100 % taste.

See you, Dan.

Joe, next year, I'm buying. Diet Pepsi, the one -calorie choice of a new

generation.

A testimonial luncheon for the winner of the Bollington Award.

Schnapps, Otto. Oui, monsieur Hugo.

Save the schnapps, Otto.

Grateful, my friends, but we should wait until tomorrow when we have something

important to celebrate.

There's a storm coming tonight.

We must be ready for it.

We can't be.

Not tonight.

No, no, the body is not ready.

We'll be ready.

Victor, we haven't experimented enough yet.

We need more time. I agree with Hugo.

In fact, I think we've already gone too far.

Victor, I mean what I'm saying.

I think it might be better if we stopped.

Let's turn back while there is still time.

That time has passed.

We passed it weeks ago in cemeteries and charnel houses.

Do you think I'd live through that horror to turn back now when the end is

sight? Victor, it's not... Have faith.

Trust in me for a while yet.

We're so close.

Why so quickly?

Why tonight?

I feel we must.

I keep hearing those cries of heresy and blasphemy.

Wallman's timidity.

When I go to class again...

To know that I've succeeded.

That I have created the strongest, most brilliant,

most powerful man ever existed.

Come, we will drink on it before we begin work.

It's a little time.

to be beautiful.

I don't know now.

Victor, even if we assemble the body, we have no heart.

The storm isn't due until morning.

We will have a heart when it comes.

The wound is too serious.

It's lost too much blood.

There must be something we can do.

If we can create life, we should be able to save it.

We must try.

No.

We've done everything we can.

Who can help him?

Professor Millar.

No, he couldn't help.

Millar is one of the best surgeons in the country.

We must get him.

Victor, he'd see everything. He'd know what we were doing. I don't care. Get

now. No.

No, you must not go. You must lie still. Go get Milord. No. Don't waste time.

Milord can do nothing.

No one can.

I want you to go on with the experiment.

The experiment is over. I know.

Hugo, we can't. And even if we... No, no, no. Don't waste time. You can.

With my heart, you will.

Don't you understand? I could never do that.

I want you to.

I'm begging you.

At least that might just mean something.

Do you hear that?

With Elizabeth.

Can Henry close out?

Well,

I can see we've come just in time. Look at him, sleeping in his clothes.

Is he asleep? No, I've been working all night.

With my friend Otto, we're in the midst of an important experiment at a crucial

point. We might have known it. You forgot all about us coming.

No, no, I thought you were in Geneva.

I wrote you that Henry was coming.

Yes, I'm studying languages at the university.

Ah. That is, if I don't freeze to death standing here. I am glad to see you.

When Henry gave us the news, I decided Elizabeth and I would come, too. Well,

there must be time. Let me send you to the inn.

What hospitality.

Not even a cup of coffee for your father and your fiancée? And I want to see

where you live, your laboratory, everything.

Is this the way to the drawing room? Trashling!

I'm sorry. I'm very busy now. I must get back to my work, you see.

Well, then let us come with you. I'm interested to see what you're doing. No,

Father. I can't. It would disturb things.

I'm sorry.

I'll see you to the inn.

Wait here, please.

Oh, I've had warmer receptions.

Victor looks exhausted.

Oh, boy.

I can't understand why he didn't get Elizabeth's letter.

Perhaps his word leaves him little time to read it.

Why wouldn't he let us upstairs?

Why should he keep his work a secret from us?

What are you going to do, Victor?

I'll take him to the inn.

I'll be back as soon as I can. You stay and keep working.

What are we going to do about Hugo's body, Victor? What are we going to tell

people?

They say he went for a climb in the mountains.

He must have fallen. His body will never be found.

We'll bury it here when I get back.

Victor.

I'm afraid.

Hugo's death is a warning, I'm sure of it.

Yes, it is a warning.

A warning that if we stop now, we lose everything.

I need you to be strong now, Otto.

I'll be back soon.

If there is a storm tonight, will we do the experiment?

Yes.

Keep the door locked.

You ready?

Make sure everything's secure.

The storm is overhead.

All right.

Make sure the electricity never goes beyond five from your door.

Think I Can I keep I keep remembering you go

Waste we'll go over our notes. We'll try again

No

It's failed Should have known it would

I'm saying now, the experiment is over.

It's finished.

It's cost too much already. Everything must be burned. Every book, every

journal, the body itself.

Nothing must remain to remind us of it.

Nothing.

Hey, my main monster, more power to you.

Oh, boy, he'd just drop a couple of slices of bread in his pockets and

probably pop back out his toast.

Well, the monster finally has a heart, sort of like the Tin Man and the Wizard

of Oz.

This heart was compliments of Hugo, who must have signed one of them donor cards

on the back of his driver's license.

You know, I signed one of them organ donor cards my own darn self, and in the

event of my untimely demise, some lucky viewer will receive the...

A beautiful Wurlitzer organ.

Yes, it's fun for the entire family with a fabulous melody chord organ, complete

with foot pedals, rhythm box, and song book. It's the Wurlitzer melody chord

organ, batteries not included.

Mileage may vary. Elvira?

Oh, golly.

I'm sorry, I know it was a cheap gag, but what do you want from a cheap

gagstress like me?

More Frankenstein after this.

Why does K -Hit sound better than ever? Because right now, they're playing only

the greatest hits. The greatest hits of the 60s, the greatest hits of the 70s,

plus all the greatest hits of the 80s.

That adds up to 97 .1 K -Hit, 97 .1 FM. The

60s, 70s, and 80s, one great song after another. You ought to hear K -Hit now.

Well, there's got to be a reason why the Southern California Nissan Datsun

dealers are selling more trucks than we are.

I know they're loaded now.

King Cab 4x4 sports trucks.

4x4 long beds.

That's a good -looking truck.

All kinds. We've got trucks, too. But the Nissan Datsun dealers are selling

theirs fast.

There's got to be a reason for that.

Maybe a lot of reasons.

What do you think?

I mean, the beach, the nights, and all this atmosphere. I wouldn't want you to

fall in love with me for the wrong reason.

And what would the wrong reason be?

You'll have to meet him in Cuba.

If you want your $40 million, that's where you'll have to go to pick it up.

Now, you just keep your nose out of my affairs.

Do not cause trouble.

Hey, wait.

Dallas, tomorrow at 7 p .m.

You know me. I've scared millions of people, both dead and alive.

But now, I don't have to work as hard, because the Fright Line is scarier than

me.

It's the Fright Line, and for 95 cents, you'll hear spellbinding tales of terror

designed to entertain and thrill you.

I may as well go to the old ghoul's home. It looks like I'm out of a job.

These stories make me sound like a pussycat. Don't forget, the number for

terrifying tales of horrible horrors is 976 -2345.

Hi, I'm Billy Dee Williams.

You know, in show business, looking good is part of the job.

So a lot of us depend on TCB for our hair.

TCB is a complete system specially formulated to keep your hair looking its

best, whether you relax it or wear it in a curly style.

So believe me, if you want hair that always looks its best, use TCB.

It takes care of business.

It's true?

Yes.

How did it happen?

Thank God it did.

I can't believe it. Help me.

Why doesn't he move or make a sound? Can he speak?

I don't know. His heartbeat's normal. I haven't tested anything else. Help me.

Yes, yes.

Yes.

All right.

Let's lift him up. Yes.

We may hurt him.

He'll let us know if we do.

He doesn't react at all.

Perhaps he can see you're here.

He can't hear.

Then see.

Why doesn't he recognize us? You always said he would. He has Professor

Lichtman's brain. He should have his memory, his personality.

I only assume that.

The electricity may have blanked out on memory, perhaps only temporarily.

What are you looking for?

Anything that would mean something to Professor Lichtman.

Astronomy was his hobby.

If any of Lichtman's memories are available to him, he should know what

and how to use it.

Good heavens. His strength is magnificent.

I thought he'd be superhuman.

He can't even speak. But he's alive.

He can make a sound.

He's a giant baby.

And we'll have to teach him everything.

Ah.

A baby wouldn't do that, but a four -year -old would.

Now, help me. Let's get him off the table.

Come to me.

I'll show you.

We must get a nurse made for him.

Take it easy.

Be careful.

Victor, he seems gentle and obliging enough.

We must begin to keep notes.

Note down the time of each reaction so we can gauge how long the learning

process will take.

Victor, we are going to need help.

We have classes together. Who will be with him?

He could hurt himself.

I think you should tell Professor Waldman.

No. No one must know.

Why?

Otto, what did we set out to create?

A superhuman.

Exactly.

He's just been born.

We'll have to teach him, bring him to maturity.

Then we can show him to people. Then we can prove that our theories are correct.

Victor, how can we keep him a secret? Why, anyone who comes here could see him

or hear him.

No one must come here.

father, Elizabeth.

There will be a problem, but I'll deal with it.

They want me to go to a concert tonight.

If I don't meet them at the inn, they might come here.

I'll go and explain to them that I have to work. Victor, when will we be able to

tell? We can decide that later.

There's a scientific convention in London in November.

That's the date we'll aim for.

I hate to go.

I envy you.

Keep testing him. I'll be back soon.

Put some clothes on him. We don't want him to get cold.

No, no.

You stay.

Stay with Otto.

No, stay with Otto.

Don't you you will see him again?

You'll see so much of him and me that you'll be sick of both of us soon enough

Good. Good.

Very good.

So

you

couldn't come to dinner, and now you can't come to the concert.

It's a good thing I'm not a jealous woman.

I'll try to meet you afterward for supper.

Will you?

And will you order champagne, or will you forget?

If you do, I'll come after you. I won't forget. We will celebrate.

It's a perfect night for champagne.

Oh, Victor.

I'm beginning to recognize you again.

I'm sorry about this morning, Elizabeth.

If I acted oddly, it's because I'm so caught up in my experiment.

What is it, Victor?

I'll tell you when it's finished.

Well, when will that be?

The day before we're married.

It's very good.

Play.

Potter, play.

No, no, not now. We have other things to do.

Play.

Potter, play.

One more time.

Stop. No, no.

Boy,

I'll tell you, working for Doc Frankenstein can be hazardous to your

Wonder what kind of a story he'll concoct to explain what happened to

He passed Hugo's death off as a mountain climbing accident. A little alpine

oopsie. I probably used something lame like, uh, well, Otto was looking through

his telescope and he leaned too far out the window.

And that monster of Victor's.

Is he ever spoiled?

Well, you know what they say.

To the victor belongs the spoiled.

It's true?

Yes, it really is true. I've heard it all my life.

Oh, you know, there's more mad lab mayhem in a minute as the monster drinks

liquid and Victor realizes that he's forgotten the paper train.

Now, if you're fixed, you won't go into gear. And what you hear when you touch

your clutches, oh, boy, what's that noise?

You need ANCO.

Sticks and clutches?

Here's the right part.

If it's transmission, it's close to our hearts. That ANCO.

Fix your stick and don't get stuck. Bring your car or even your truck. Bring

to ANCO.

Don't run them up.

Double A -N -C -O.

ANCO. The place for sticks and clutches.

Hi, I'm Tom Verdon from Downey Toyota with exciting news for you. This

we're flashing price on our entire sports car lineup.

Here's a new Toyota Supra for only $13 ,995.

Or how about this beautiful silica convertible for only $14 ,695.

See you this weekend at Downey Toyota where the customer is always king.

You know, there's more to Burger King than burgers.

Sure. How about a whaler? What about a chicken sandwich? The whaler's a big,

plump fillet of fish. Yeah, well, the chicken's tender, juicy white meat

The whaler has lettuce. So has the chicken sandwich. But the whaler has

tartar sauce.

The chicken has real egg mayonnaise. How about a fresh sesame seed bun? Or a

sesame seed roll?

The whaler sandwich.

Chicken sandwich. Whaler. Chicken.

Whaler. Chicken. Whaler. Chicken. For Burger King now. Chicken.

The order was don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes.

Well, there was so much dust and stuff in the air, their eyes were red as

rockets, so we didn't shoot.

Now, if they'd have had Visine back then, they could have used it to get the

out. If they'd have had Thrifty, they could have bought Visine on sale for $1

.59. But they didn't have Visine, they didn't have Thrifty, and they didn't

$1 .59.

And that's how we won the war.

Thrifty!

The Optometric Center of Los Angeles offers complete eye and vision care at

minimum cost.

Do you know what you've done?

He's dead.

Dead.

You don't even know what it means.

I can't stay here with you all the time.

Soon, I hope, I won't have to do this.

Now, I've got to do something about Otto.

Otto.

Yes.

For your sake, I've got to make it seem like an accident.

No.

For both of us.

When you know right from wrong, I won't strap you down, I promise you that.

Won't be long now.

Ah.

else to look.

Perhaps he's in the laboratory.

I called to him. Well, maybe he fell asleep.

Well, let's not stand around down here.

Go on up and see if he's there.

Victor, what on earth happened to you? Why didn't you meet us?

I'm sorry, I couldn't.

Something went wrong with my experiment. I was just about to look for you in

your lab. You didn't go up there?

No.

Victor, what's wrong? Nothing.

It's just that I... Well, your visit, it's come at a very bad time for me,

that's all.

I'm sorry I can't do my work and entertain you the way I want.

Father, I think it would be best if you and Elizabeth went back to Geneva.

Victor!

I'll come home as soon as I can, within a week or two, when my experiment is

finished. Then everything will be as it was.

Come. I'll take you back to the inn. We're not leaving, Victor.

On the contrary.

At the concert tonight, I met my old friend Schmidt.

He's leaving tomorrow for England.

I'm renting his villa for six months. That's impossible. You can't.

I think you and I should have a little talk.

Alone.

I didn't want to embarrass you in front of Elizabeth.

But I think you owe me an explanation of your behavior.

It's his work, that's all.

I just don't understand him.

He seems to change so quickly.

Maybe there really is someone else.

Oh, Elizabeth, you can't believe that.

I'd really like to be alone just for a few minutes.

I've just received some terrible news.

My colleague, my best friend, really, Otto Roger, I've written to you about

We've been working together.

There's been an accident.

He's dead.

I'm so sorry.

What happened?

He was working with his telescope.

He must have leaned too far out the window.

He fell.

I'm very, very sorry.

Well, I hope our being here will be some comfort to you.

I'm taking the villa.

Tomorrow I'll send for your brother William and his governess.

We'll be spending the next few months here.

Where's Elizabeth?

It's time we were getting back to the inn.

She wanted to be alone. She's taking a walk in the garden.

Alright, why shouldn't I be?

I thought for a moment it might be them.

They will come tonight, won't they?

Why, of course they will, my dear.

I finished my wedding present this afternoon.

Oh, very fine work, Agatha.

Truly?

You would tell me if I made mistakes, wouldn't you?

Why, of course I would.

They're here, Papa.

They're here. Oh, my son.

Welcome home. The sailors returned, Papa. Good.

And you are Saki.

Buenas tardes, senor.

In our language, as I taught you.

Good afternoon, mister... Charles. You will call me Charles, won't you?

And this is my Agatha.

Good afternoon, Agatha.

Are you well?

Yes, yes.

It's so good to have Felix back.

And I'm so glad you brought you with him.

I will teach you our language.

You take him, Signora Inglés?

How pretty and nice he is.

Safi says you're very pretty.

Oh, we're going to be such good friends.

Good friend.

Friend.

Friend.

Yeah, friends to the end.

Unfortunately, we don't get to the end for about another hour.

I don't know who's the bigger dope, the monster or that sailor who just brought

his Spanish girlfriend home with him.

Sailors are supposed to have a girl in every port, but I guess he didn't read

the part about leaving them there.

Well, heck, I could be doing something constructive with my time, but instead I

guess I'm just stuck here.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, no, I'm so sorry.

I'm very, very sorry.

Well, I am very, very, very sorry. I am a lot sorrier than you. Why?

I'm about the sorriest person I know. In fact, I am so sorry that...

It's lovely.

Will you wear it on our wedding day?

Our wedding day?

I thought you'd forgotten.

Did you?

Darling, things have gone so badly for me since you've gone out of time.

That's all over now.

I really think it's all over.

Yesterday, I went.

Yesterday, I went.

Tomorrow... Comprende tomorrow?

No.

Ah...

Oh!

Tomorrow, I went.

You'll learn.

Do you understand me?

Talking with someone is the only way.

Summer rain.

Sea rain.

Soon it will be autumn.

Agatha? Yes? A letter from madre? Mother? She's coming next week.

Felix and I can marry at last.

We'll be much, much happy. Yes.

Well, this has truly become my home.

Nonsense. It isn't often in this family that we can set a wedding date.

Tonight, we will celebrate in the village.

Excuse me, please.

Agatha. Good evening.

Mr.

DeLacy?

How do you do?

Oh, no, thank you. I am too...

too... nervous.

To sit, thank you, is

nervous, right?

I am not used to being with people.

They do not treat me... No, no.

No. Have not treat me kindly.

I do not know why.

Perhaps, sir, you have an opinion?

Or is it unfair of

me to ask?

I've practiced.

Whose hand?

Please.

This is magic, no?

Oh, shit.

Man and wife.

Felix and Sophie.

They are so happy.

If I go in there...

I am different now.

I speak now.

Yes, you can. I've seen you practice with Sappy. But I've never danced with a

man. Then it's time you do. Come on.

I just don't remember sometimes.

Thank you, sir.

I'm all right, Papa.

Come back here.

Dance with me.

No, Papa.

It's no good to pretend I can see when I can't.

I should know there are many, many things I will never do.

I will never dance or have friends.

or marry or see.

You will have a happy life, Agatha.

Now come on inside.

You don't want to ruin the wedding.

Come on.

Cannot see me.

You are my only friend.

She cannot see me either.

And she wants a friend.

If she likes me.

You do not know.

May I come in?

I've just been sitting here trying to remember how that song from Annie goes.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow. I love you tomorrow.

You're only a day away.

Oh, golly, yeah.

One of my favorite, favorite all -time songs from my favorite musical.

You know the way that monster talks?

Kind of reminds me of that crazy Guggenheim on the old Jackie Gleason

And that doll he plays with. I mean, it must have

been the first Mr. Potato Head.

Well, Agatha's about to get acquainted with her new friend.

One she doesn't know, and I might add, the one she shouldn't want to know.

And for her sake, I hope they haven't gotten around to replacing that broken

mirror. Who needs another seven years of bad luck?

It's more high jinks than the lowlands. Or is that more low jinks than the

highlands? Well, it doesn't really matter. It's more of whatever.

Whenever we return from wherever it is we're going.

All of our songs. The music wanders through my mind. The greatest hit songs

all time.

The city lights are very low.

And love is here in stereo.

Well, Rover, what do you have for us today?

Hey, Playgirl and Clark is a safe place to be because cars and trucks are not

allowed, you see. Right on, Rover.

What do you want?

I have been traveling.

I have lost my way.

I am tired.

Come in.

But be careful. There's a bucket of water there. I couldn't carry it any

further.

I will help you.

did you know to hang the bucket there?

I did not see any other place to hang it.

Are you hungry?

No.

Thank you.

Let me help you.

Thank you.

Your voice, it sounds strange.

Where are you from?

Far away.

How far away is far?

Very far.

Are you alone?

Yes, I am alone.

I don't like to be alone.

I have no one else.

Don't you have any friends?

Well, I was hoping maybe... You were hoping?

What were you hoping for?

High in the mountains.

How do you know these things?

I can hear.

Now it's raining in the mountains.

You can hear these things?

I can hear what I can't see.

I can smell the fragrance of flowers I don't know. I can touch.

And in the touching I can see.

Sometimes I...

Wish the whole world was blind.

Why?

Then everyone would be alive.

You didn't let me see you.

You're frightened.

Does thunder frighten you?

I don't know.

Maybe when you were a small boy.

Thunder used to frighten me.

I would...

Hide the closet.

I don't remember when I... Thunder can't hurt you.

I wish I could see lightning.

What does lightning look like?

It is bright and ugly.

If it touches you, it can kill you.

You aren't very happy, are you?

What is happiness?

Before, when I asked if you had any friends, you said you were hoping.

What did you mean?

I have no friends.

No one should be alone in the world.

Where were you traveling when you stopped here?

To find some people.

You mean to find work?

Yes. Well, why don't you stay here and work for Father and me?

I don't know what to say.

Felix, he's my brother. He just got married, but he will be leaving soon

his wife, and Father and I will be alone again.

Well, you could chop wood and... And fetch water.

And you could stay in the shed and you could have your meals with us.

You mean I could stay here?

Father and Felix will be home soon and you can meet them and we'll tell them.

Oh, please.

Your hands. No, please.

Your hands.

They're hurt. But a long time ago.

What happened?

An accident.

and hate the wretched.

No, please, I cannot stay.

No, please, let me see you. I'm not afraid. Please, let me see you.

Here, here.

Elizabeth, get a pitcher of water and a towel.

What happened to him?

He picked him up and threw him against the wall. It could have killed him.

Who did this?

We just got back to the cottage.

Agatha was still there. He was like no human.

Scars on his face and hands.

A giant.

Madman. Elizabeth, stamp on the towel and clean his guts.

And no broken bones.

Rest here a while and then go home. Stay in bed tomorrow.

Victor, where are you going?

I have to go now. I'll see you here later.

Good night, William.

How much longer are we going to stay here? When can we go home?

Well, we can't go home without Victor, and he's not ready to go home yet.

Well, when is Victor going to marry you anyway?

He's such a dumb brother.

I keep asking myself the same question.

Maybe if we both keep asking him, he'll marry me just to keep us quiet.

I'll tell you what. I'll start tonight, and it's your turn tomorrow, all right?

You promise? I promise.

Goodnight, William.

Oh, how about that? The monster caught the pass.

He's a lot better at catching passes than making passes.

And that little blind date with Agatha didn't work out at all.

Oh, word of advice for that kid, William. If that monster wants to go a

one -on -one, let him win. And if he double dribbles, don't call him on it.

wipe the dribble off and keep on playing. And above all, if he insists

his ball, don't argue with him. Just let him have it.

I mean, you can always pick up a new basketball, but just try picking up a

skull.

You look hurt.

You're bleeding.

You are not afraid of the sight of me?

I've seen people hurt worse than you before.

Sometimes not an arm or a leg even.

Once I saw someone bleed to death.

But I know how to stop the bleeding.

It's called a tourniquet.

Come inside.

Will my brother be surprised when he finds I've done it?

He's a scientist.

A doctor.

Someday he's going to be famous.

Maybe I'll be a doctor like Victor.

Victor? He's my brother, Victor.

Victor Frankenstein.

Come inside with me.

Elizabeth! No.

Elizabeth! Don't call anyone.

Elizabeth!

Quiet, please. Go!

Don't be dead.

Would it help any if I told you that I loved you?

Thank you.

If I... If I tell you a secret, will you promise not to reveal it?

What's that?

Well, William and I made a pact tonight.

We decided that if we both kept asking you to marry me, you'd have to just to

keep us quiet.

My turn is tonight, and William's is tomorrow.

Thank God.

No.

Ciao.

Dad?

Didn't drown.

His neck was broken.

Thank you.

Who are you?

Answer me.

Who are you?

Oh, won't he be surprised when he finds out it's dear old dad.

Don't you know me, Frankie?

I'm your father.

Yeah, well, Victor better just hope his monster ain't the kind to carry a

grudge. I mean, if he puts two and two together, he's liable to realize it was

Victor who did the bad bitch job on his face.

I mean, just once, I'd like to see that monster put together with a needle and

thread instead of barbed wire.

Boy, where is Betsy Roth when you really need her?

Yeah, the Supremes have been asking that question for years.

No, wait a minute. Wait, is that Diana Roth?

No, no.

You ever listen to a Tums?

Did a Rolaids ever tickle your nose?

Now, what about Alka -Seltzer?

Listen.

Now the nose.

Those bubbles are telling you Alka -Seltzer is unleashing itself with

speed to attack your acid indigestion or heartburn with a headache. And that's

something Tums of Roll Age can't do.

So next time your body's telling you something, let it know you're listening.

Send Alka -Seltzer to the rescue and feel it making you feel better.

Fast.

Introducing Sizzler's delicious new broiled shrimp.

Our latest creation.

Oh, that's nice, Chef.

You're going to love them broiled. Thank you, but... Because when I broil the

shrimp, they're more tender and juicy than ever. Uh, sure.

And I serve them with a choice of three tasty sauces and a thick sirloin steak.

Sizzler's new steak and broiled shrimp. Now at a shrimp of a price. At the

No, I went through a stage several years ago, but I'm going through therapy now

and those desires no longer exist.

rumba. She would insist if we were to make love for me to dress up, so I

eventually stopped making love to her. Please get my son back for me before

Childhood fears.

you're afraid of. And it helps you keep something that you really treasure.

Why do you hunt me?

Remember?

Then why did you kill William?

Tell me who you are. I'm Victor Frankenstein.

Tonight you killed my brother.

Why? What had he ever done to you? He was only a child.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I came upon him playing.

And when he cried to call out, I... But I only wanted to quiet

him. But you didn't just quiet him. You killed him. Please.

Try to understand.

I did not want to harm him.

He offered to help me.

I did not want to hurt him.

Then it was you I shot in the woods?

Yes.

But I do not understand.

Why did you shoot me?

I don't want to hurt anyone.

But I cannot help it.

I cannot help it.

I know.

Let me look at your arm. It must hurt terribly.

I'm going to have to hurt your arm.

But it will make it better. Will you let me do it?

People run with fright at the sight of me.

Children scream with terror.

You can't blame yourself for that. But it is my face, my body.

I have all the hurt in the world inside me.

You cannot give me any more.

arm will heal.

Thank you, Frankenstein.

How did you learn to talk?

Who taught you?

Can you tell me your first memory?

Why do you ask me all these questions?

You speak to me as though you know me.

You're a doctor.

Did you ever see me before?

Frankenstein.

I do not even have a name.

I want to be like others.

But I am different.

Can you tell me why?

Please.

Can you help me?

I am a doctor.

A man of science.

I touched life and death in many ways.

I touched you with life.

I created you.

You created me.

I made you.

I gave you life.

You gave me these hands?

This face?

You gave me life!

Created me.

Then you will create someone for me.

Someone who will not run at the sight of me.

Someone who will be like me.

Someone who will love me.

No, I can't do that.

You made me. I was wrong.

But I am here.

Make another.

For me.

No one should be alone.

Not again. Not again. Yes.

Again.

A woman.

Like you have a woman.

What?

Yes.

I know.

I have seen her.

I only ask the same for myself.

No. Not you.

But all who cross my path will die.

All of them.

You say you created me.

Then I am what you made me.

No!

A woman.

Like you have.

Yes.

Like me.

At least we will have each other.

You owe me that.

Let me be happy, too.

And if I do?

We will go away.

She and I.

Forever.

You will never see us again.

No one will.

I swear.

The more person dies by you, I'll stop.

She won't live.

I brought you into this world, and I warn you, as God is my judge, I can

you.

Then let me give you a warning.

I will be watching you, always.

And if you break your promise, I will know.

When you are ready, I will appear.

It's now the match.

It's now the monster match.

And it's a graveyard smash.

It's caught on in a flash.

It's now the Monster Mash.

Now everything's cool, Jack's a part of the band.

And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land. For you, the living, this mash was

meant to. When you get to my door, tell them. And you can.

Then you can Monster Mash.

And you, my graveyard.

You'll get on in a flash.

Then you can Monster Mash.

You ought to hear K -Hits now.

Give that to me.

I had to.

But you promised.

You promised her to me.

I couldn't.

Forgive me.

Try to forgive.

But you promised.

It couldn't be.

I couldn't let her live. I never should have given life to you.

Now I will promise.

You will not be happy while I am wretched.

From this day, you will be alone.

Like I am alone.

I will destroy all that you love.

This final promise.

I will be with you on your wedding night.

It's lovely.

It's so peaceful.

I don't know, Liz, but I think we should go on to Geneva.

Let's just go inside and rest a little while.

My inn is yours.

There are no other guests but you.

But I cannot tell a lie.

If you've come for the waters, you'll be disappointed.

The springs in our spa have been dry for years.

The town is quiet and restful, and I will be your host at half the usual

lodging. I will get your luggage.

I don't like Elizabeth. I think we should go on to Geneva.

Victor, we've been traveling for a night and a day.

We haven't seen any sign of him. He couldn't possibly travel as fast as we

Oh, my darling.

Put the past out of your mind. We're free now.

Victor?

We could be married right here.

Tonight.

That's out of the question.

It's not out of the question. We'll go away.

We'll go to England.

He'll never find us there.

Oh, my darling.

Please, we mustn't be afraid anymore.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

You must please forgive.

Are you runaways, perhaps?

You're eloping.

This is wonderful.

The youth must pursue the feelings of their hearts.

My friend is the mayor.

Well, he's more than my friend, really. He's my cousin.

My wife's cousin, as a matter of fact, on her mother's side. I can get him

now and he can marry you.

And tonight will be your honeymoon.

Imagine a wedding and my in.

There's anyone here who feels this marriage should not be consummated. Let

speak up or forever hold his peace.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Congratulations. May I kiss the bride?

Much happiness to you both.

And lots of children.

Thank you.

And now to make the ceremony official, Dr.

Frankenstein, if you'll step over to my office with me, we'll sign the book, and

I'll wax the town seal to your wedding certificate.

Now, can't I sign the book here?

Here? Oh, that's out of the question. The book hasn't been out of its case in

over 200 years, Doctor.

It's always the custom to marry couples in my office or the church.

In your case, I made a special exception.

It will only take a moment.

In the morning, then.

You don't seem to understand.

Until you sign the book, the marriage isn't legal.

It's all right, my darling. I'll be right here.

I don't want to leave you here.

Victor, this is a new life.

You must go, I insist.

It's just across the square.

Lock the door.

Don't open it for anyone but me.

No one but you.

Victor?

Okay, I'll buy.

How'd the monster get there so fast?

Hmm, maybe he disguised himself as one of the horses pulling that coach. I

tell you which end.

And I guess it didn't occur to Victor or Elizabeth or anybody else for that

matter that instead of making a big deal out of leaving her in that room all by

herself, she could have gone over to the mayor's office with him. I mean, what

the heck? It was only across the square.

And the other time she would have begged him to let her tag along.

Well, the big finish is coming up, and this is the part of the story I've

liked best. It's the part when the angry villagers become an avenging mob, and

with rakes and hoes and torches and hounds, they track the monster down and

waste him.

Best part of the picture.

Trust me.

Elizabeth?

Donna, I told you to lock the door.

Elizabeth?

to kill you!

Don't die.

You're my choice.

I can't live without you now.

You must.

Find a way.

A place.

Go away high into the mountains where you can be free.

But I can never be free.

It's not your fault.

It's mine.

I failed you.

I didn't teach you.

Please, please, live.

Live, or we will go away.

Revenge.

After I die, no more revenge.

Forgive.

You must learn to forgive.

I have been wrong.

If you knew the pain I felt when I killed little William.

The hate I felt for myself when I left Elizabeth dead.

Forgive me.

Please.

Forgive me.

Victor.

Victor!

No!

Okay.

So what happened to the big finish I was looking for? I mean, where was the

avenging mob?

Where was the mob period?

There were only two guys there. You can't call two guys a mob.

Or heck, you can't even call two guys a crowd.

It takes three to make a crowd.

So where were the angry villagers anyway?

I mean, what was it, bingo night down at the church or something?

Well, you can imagine my embarrassment.

Well... Sorry to say, there's about a wrap on Movie Macabre for this time

around.

Aw, don't cry, big fella. I'll be back next week. Look for me then, when I'll

serving up this.

That's next time around, right here on Movie Macabre. I can hardly wait.

Hardly. Until then, darling, I'll just leave you with these words to ponder.

Unleavened cheese.
