Maybe I missed something at the beginning.

On Saturday I managed to catch the end of Frankenstein, and when I say the end, I mean that I missed the creation of the monster, little Maria, and anything leading up to the big chase at the end. Yup, I basically turned it on right as the torch wielding mob was chasing the monster through the night to the windmill where it met its eventual end. So maybe I missed something, but the ending didn't really seem to go with what I had seen, the movie suddenly taking a rather light-hearted turn, which caused me begin expecting to hear the ending music from a Three Stooges short after everyone laughed. I don't know. It just makes me want to see the entire movie now, just to see if the ending makes any more sense, though I'm not sure it will.

After that movie ended, the next in the classic monster movie genre came on and I have to say that my viewing of Dracula didn't fare much better as I was only able to get the Count to England and kill a girl selling flowers before I had to leave for work. Oh well. At least I'd seen that one all the way through, so I knew what was going to happen, though it had been a while and I would have liked to have stayed to watch the entire thing, but someone had to get yelled at by that old woman.
