Only four days until Halloween and a week until the election.
Don't forget to vote!
After watching Young Frankenstein, we decided it might be fun to see some of the actual classic monsters movies. Since our streaming can be unreliable we went shopping online and discovered that almost everything from that era is available. After placing an order and we got a notification that it would ship in November! Fortunately, HM kept on looking and found a copy of The Bride of Frankenstein at the public library, duh! The last place we thought to look.
This week, Burt and Kibitz are in charge of getting the drinks and snacks ready for movie night, although it seems like they are more interested in playing with the decorations.
Ivy decided that a microscope would be something Dr. Frankenstein might have in his laboratory so she added this vintage one to the Halloween decorations. Since it still works, she attached a slide of a section of a house fly's leg as a creepy detail. Burt and Kibitz couldn't get enough of that! Maybe for our next movie night we should try to find a copy of The Fly?
Once their scientific curiosity was satisfied, they got to work and added more lights and pumpkins.
We definitely didn't plan very well for this movie night, ha! All we had on hand for snacks was caramel corn, pretzels, and candy corn. There is a cocktail called the Bride of Frankenstein that's made with Chambord, sparkling wine and pineapple juice. Oddly enough, we had all the ingredients but it got terrible reviews, so we stuck to the usual beer and wine. Crepes of Wrath suggested pairing bourbon, neat on the rocks, with caramel corn. Now that might be something to try.
As for the movie, it was actually quite good!
It's not really scary, but there are a lot of complicated ideas running through the plot. It will definitely become one of the Halloween movies we watch every year.
As for the poor monster, I can't wait to see if he gets a better ending in the next sequel.
Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow!
