Happy Halloween!

The late-night/early-morning spot for Cubs fans asks about free agent catcher Christian Vázquez.

Whale wanted the Monster to have the mind of a ten-year-old and the hormones of a fifteen-year-old. In that tiny hovel, the monster makes his first friend and the hermit’s prayer for a friend is answered. There is a sign of genuine Christian charity when the Monster meets the blind hermit in the woods. The part of the same scene where the Monster tries to save a statue of Christ by ripping him off the cross he’s nailed on was ordered deleted by the Production Office. The theme of the novel and the film Frankenstein is science gone too far and man substituting himself for God. Pretorius, the main villain of the piece who convinces Henry Frankenstein to build a mate for the Monster, has been the subject of a lot of analysis. Much like Frankenstein credited the Monster as “?”, The Bride of Frankenstein credits “The Monster’s Mate” as “?”. The Bride of Frankenstein pushes a lot more boundaries and has a lot more going on in it than the other films in the series. Whale had no desire to make a sequel to Frankenstein, but the amount of money that film made demanded that Universal make another one. I was going to skip the movie part because it’s a holiday and our traffic will probably be down, but tomorrow’s not a holiday and I know that most of you read this feature the next day. The late-nighters are encouraged to get the party started, but everyone else is invited to join in as you wake up the next morning and into the afternoon. Come on in out of the rain, if you were going to the [World Series](https://www.sbnation.com/world-series) tonight.
