Childhood Memories - Frankenstein's Monster




I also had the plastic model for Frankenstein's Monster. You can probably buy all these old plastic models on e-Bay now. In a way, I don't want to even look at them because they probably aren't half as awesome as I remember them.

In the 1970s, a local TV station (WCCO) would broadcast "Bride of Frankenstein," "Son of Frankenstein" and all the other great horror movies from the 1930s and 1940s, late on Saturday nights. Because the kids were so enamored with these movies, they also started broadcasting on Saturday mornings, but kept to tamer offerings... along the lines of the "Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy" or whatever.
