Frankenstein

I chose Frankenstein because I have always been interested in this character. I have always wondered why is he so popular. Every time I would turn on Disney Channel or Nickelodeon when I was growing up there were always halloween specials for shows and the characters would dress up as Frankenstein. I would always say to myself, “why do I always see him?” “what’s so great about him?”. So I see this as a perfect opportunity to learn about the character by picking this assignment. I feel that horror movies have been so popular over the years because we get to know what it feels like to be truly afraid. Especially at the end of the movie when it says “Based on a true story”. Horror is pleasurable to people because we also get to play around with our negative emotions. It gives us people a little thrill. We also probably try to imagine ourselves in the movie and in the characters situation and try to think what we would do if we were in their shoes.
