A misconception that dates back to "The Bride of Frankenstein." Because of that title, people started confusing Frankenstein's Monster with Frankenstein.

And you can get most "knowledgeable" movie fans to start counting in their heads when you ask, "In how many movies did Boris Karloff play Frankenstein?" The correct answer is one: FRANKENSTEIN 1970 [as documented in my fwfr of the movie]. In all the other movies, of course, he plays Frankenstein's Monster.

Wow, that's good trivia. Even the film savant would probably smile smugly and say "None."
I've given a vote to your Frankenstein - 1970 review.
Cheers, Kap |

Yep, it's even more fun to fool an avowed expert. Thank god for imdb, because I used to face incredulous people who wanted proof. Now it's easy.
Thanks for the nod.

Tori's review of Pygmalion -- My Fair Lady's prequel -- is wrong.
Benj, could you fix this review along with the Son of Frankenstein review? |

Because Pygmalion isn't a prequel, it's the original version of the story that MFL was adapted from.

She could change it to Pygmalion with singing if there aren't any there like that.

Thanks Benj. You should also take a look here: http://www.fwfr.com/display.asp?id=3140
Several reviews (including a brand-new one) falsely state that Jason kills Kevin Bacon, breaks in machete, etc. It's his mother who 'done' it.

That's what I was going to say. I knew it wasn't really a prequel, I was just trying to draw a correlation between the two. *bows head*

Whoops! One of those reviews (the breaks in machete) is mine. Thanks for catching this. I've changed the review to "Jason's Mum's Freaky Friday."

Aww, dammit! I only just got that Slashers Machete accolade! Okay, I'll be happy to see it deleted so long as Benj could possibly re-post my replacement review, in my pending list now. Please? I hate losing accolades like this.
