It's September 30, which means there's only 9,286,351 hours until Halloween (Ed. I'm done with this guy! I'm outta here!)! So while the gang try to figure out how many thumbtacks Frankie swallowed, you should figure out your preparations for the big day!

Rowland V. Lee: Son of Frankenstein (1939)

“Oh, please, darling, Elsa, please! Please have faith in me! I’m sorry that I lost control of myself. I... I-I... I’ve no reason for being nervous like this, but... But I’ve been working too hard. A terrific experiment, one that I wanted to surprise you with.”

Rowland V. Lee: Son of Frankenstein (1939)

“My son. Herein you will find my faiths, my beliefs, and my unfoldments. A complete diary of my experiments, charts, and secret formulas. In short, the sum total of my knowledge, such as it is. Perhaps you will regard my work with ridicule or even distaste. If so, destroy these records. But if you, like me, burn with the irresistible desire to penetrate the unknown, carry on. Even though the path is cruel and torturous, carry on. Like every seeker after truth you will be hated, blasphemed, and condemned. But mayhap where I have failed, you will succeed. You have inherited the fortune of the Frankensteins. I trust you will not inherit their fate.” -Henry Frankenstein
