A “man” named Edward walks out from the dark corner, looking curious and lost with a pale face covered in scars.

    This should be called The Wolf Man Meets Frankenstein, as the first half of the film has nothing to do with Frankenstein and focuses solely on Larry Talbot. Which I'm not complaining about. Since The Wolf Man is probably my favorite Universal monster film from that era. Though the Frankenstein monster is my favorite of the universal monsters, go figure. Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man is a direct sequel to the events of the Wolf Man and follows the events of The Ghost of Frankenstein.…

I think that Houdini would become famous at being a singer because when we were reading this article they said that back then when Houdini was alive the films were not good and, yet i think a singer people would listen but that’s why i think that maybe would be a famous singer than a famous movie maker. I would prefer to watch an escape artist than watch a magician because Houdini never said how he did his tricks to…

Why would he be writing a dull, technical book after all his successes with his science fiction novels? Within the first few pages, it was quite evident that King was not writing that dull, technical novel I had envisioned. King has written a memoir of his journey of writing.…

    Tim Burton’s beautifully haunting production of ‘Edward Scissorhands’ introduces our protagonist, represented by Johnny Depp, and explores the fictional story of this solitary boy with an unfortunate seemingly threatening oddity, being thrust into a world where he is glaringly blatant in the midst of the suburbs.

Burton shattered cliches and stereotypes of who ‘monsters’ are by introducing the monster in the form of townspeople. As Tim Burton’s individual ordeals are translated into…
