Title: You might be a Monster Maniac if....
Post by: Dr. Madd on November 06, 2010, 04:56:46 PM
You see, I thought there might be some people who might be monster maniacs and not  know it. So to that end, I propose  we make a checklist to determine what and who is a monster maniac:

I'll begin:

You might be a monster maniac if.......

you own more than 300 dollars worth of monster merchandise, and its up year around... GUILTY!

My cell ringtone is the theme from The Munsters.

I had the theme from The Exorcist (Tubular Bells).  But I work in a 100+ year old building with lots of creaks and groans.  As I was closing up one night--all alone--in the dark--my wife called me. ::)

Later, after a trip to the restroom, I went home and set a different ringtone.

Back to topic: You might be a Monster Maniac if your Christmas tree decorations include strings of bat and skeleton lights.

Yep-mine does.

You might be a Monster Maniac - if at least once a day, you stomp through your house, walking & growling like Frankenstein's Monster!

Or you let out a long, blood-curdling, werewolf howl at least once a week!

Ever since I first read the ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS™ MONSTER MANUAL in 1979 I assumed he was a Flash Golem. But then I read a short story (in an anthology titled THE MONSTER BOOK OF MONSTERS) claiming the Frankensteins had mastered the art of zombie making, so my resolves wavered.  But there's also the old Frankenstein Jr cartoon with a robot, and that patchwork man called Steve Austin who became known as "bionic", and Fred Saberhagen's rewrite of the classic from the Monster's point of view which claims he was really an alien, and...

Arggh!  Now see what you made me do? I reread the original book!  Nowhere in there does Mary Shelly even suggest that the monster was crafted from dead human parts! For that matter, there is also no hint that lightning gave the Monster life! Guess I'm going back to Flesh Golem for now.

Oh man, the Monster Manual! Does that bring back memories. Flesh golem is a good call. I think the Monster has too much soul to be a zombie, but he's definitely similar. Hey, who would be interested in a book about Frankenstein's Monster fighting zombies created by Dr. Frankenstein's son?

YMBAMM if you can recite the dialogue from Plan 9 From Outer Space the way other people quote classic or modern "mainstream" movies. You also MBAMM is you like to go around talking like Tor Johnson (I'm a big boy now Johnny! in that Swedish accent)!

When I was a teenager, my friends and I stayed up til 3 am to see the infamous Plan 9 for the first time. For months afterward, we would quote the movie; "I'm a big boy now Johnny" was a favorite, as well as "I get one flashlight from patrol car". Or just about anything Criswell said -"We are all interested in the future, for that is where we are going to spend the rest of our lives!" Ah, what a crap-classic!
