Everyone hail to the pumpkin song!

If you like this punchline, go watch the movie "The Ballad of Leslie Vernon"
It's a mockumentary about a supernatural serial killer a la michael myers or jason vorhees. One of my favorite lines is:
Interviewer: What's one of the important things about being a supernatural serial killer that often gets overlooked?
Leslie: Cardio. You have no idea how difficult it is to chase these people while their sprinting, and i have to look like im walking.
Dr Frankenstein wasn't the monster, he made the monster.
That argument breaks down when there is a picture.
I know. I just love the meme so much, I'll take any excuse to post it.
I canβt argue there.
Mary Shelley said there are two monsters in the book; both are named Frankenstein. Victor's obsession caused him to become a monster.
This is Frankenstein's monster, not the monster Dr. Frankenstein.
And that monster, being the creation/son of Dr. Frankenstein, would also have the surname Frankenstein (assuming he sees Victor as his father).
Did he inherit the PhD too?
Did you inherit the job titles of your parents?
Doesn't everyone?
They were both monsters in their own way...
Also obligatory XKCD π€
Yes, one was a monster on the inside and the other was a monster as depicted in the comic.
Only the monster on the inside was a doctor so again, this comic is wrong.
I also interpreted it as "went to monster school" (aka how to be a monster), not becoming a doctor
Is that Missouri State University?
"Some of us were willing to die for the chance to be a monster" would have been a better punchline.
