It’s pet peeve time again. This happens every year around this time, and I am going to do my part to correct everybody.
Frankenstein
Frankenstein’s Monster/Creation
Tons of people make that mistake, but few really get it. Frankenstein was the guy that made the Monster. The Monster had no name. Hell, when he was played by Boris Karloff in the original film the end credits had “The Monster” played by “???”
So if you are talking about the Monster, say the Monster. If you’re talking about the doctor, just Frankenstein is fine.
It’s not their fault, as in Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein they never actually meet Frankenstein, only his Monster.
That is all.
