The Wilder Ride

We continue this minute with Freddy sitting on the floor like a lap dog. He is holding a mirror for Elizabeth. It is easy to see he is still worrying about his monster, but Elizabeth will hear none of it. Trying to take him mind off the situation at hand, she puts on a playful, but sexy voice about her room down the hall. Freddy wants her to stay with him. She will not let him, even when he tries...

We continue today with the angry mob gathering in the town square. Inspector Kemp and his right hand man address the crowd. Kemp has decided that a riot is an ugly thing and it is high time they have one. The crowd is enthusiastic and this fires up Kemp to say Frederick will curse the day he was born a Frankenstein. However, Kemp slurs the words so badly, the crowd has to stop and ask him to repea...

We begin today with the guard taunting the monster. He claims they are going to get along like old friends. However, we can sense there is a dark and sadistic side to Rudy. After a few more taunting comments, he goes to light his cigarette. The monster starts to whine and look frightened. Rudy, the sadistic guard, begins to taunt the monster further. He strikes a second match and tells him that li...

We begin the episode with Inga answering the question from Elizabeth about her role. She begins to discuss helping in the laboratory and then she remembers they like to have intellectual discussion. In fact, she remarks, they were having an intellectual discussion tonight when Dr. Frankenstein interrupts. He speaks something unintelligibly before asking Igor to help with the bags. Igor does his be...

We begin the scene with Dr. Frankenstein calling out, "Darling," to an arriving Elizabeth who responds in kind. They exchange some banter about missing each other and that Elizabeth must be tired. As she chides Freddy, he says he will go pay the driver. While he's paying the man, Igor has a near duplicate scene with Elizabeth, as if he is making a move on her. She is instantly disarmed and does no...

As we continue in this minute, the table is lowering and we now see Dr. Frankenstein is holding a controller. Obviously, the local garage has been by to install some upgrades to the secret laboratory. As the table lowers, we see Dr. Frankenstein and Inga are naked beneath a sheet. As the platform comes to the ground, we see her head lying on his arm. They are enjoying a cigarette after their appar...

We continue today with Dr. Frankenstein trying to figure out how to bring some normality to the creature's behavior. Inga, ever sympathetic, begins to kiss Frederick's fingers one by one. Dr. Frankenstein responds with multiple moans. As soon as Inga places his hand on her chest, his eyes pop open and he, for the first time, understands where their relationship is heading. As the scene wipes, Frau...

We open today's episode in the panic of the opera house. Dr. Frankenstein is trying to regain control of his monster, but to no avail. The monster shoves him across the stage where he falls into a pile of lettuce and cabbage. The monster then does a stage dive into the police and after a brief struggle, the cops lift the creature onto their shoulders. The act of lifting him up causes him to stop f...

We continue with Dr. Frankenstein and his monster in lock-step of their tap dance routine. As Frederick pauses, it is time for the monster to get his solo and he begins to perform large pinwheels. The audience cheers with delight. Just as everything is going as planned, a light (or something) explodes, startling the creature. He stops and screams, backing away from the fire and the light. Dr. Fran...

We begin in the midst of the song and dance number. Gene Wilder, as Dr. Frankenstein, is focused on his tap routine and singing the song. The monster is still just a beat or two behind, but is doing a very good job nonetheless. At one point Dr. Frankenstein pulls back his sleeves as though to say, nothing here. The monster does a similar motion. As the song comes to a bridge, it's time for an exte...

Dr. Frankenstein's creature begins to win audience after walking forward and then back. Inga is very happy to see the performance is going well. The doctor addresses the crowd and tells them he is going to impress them even more by presenting a sophisticated, cultured, man about town. The lights go down and then, in the blackout, we hear, "Hit it!" The lights come up and reveal both Dr. Frankenste...

We begin the minute with the audience still freaking out at the stumbling monster. Dr. Frankenstein immediately chides them and reminds them they are scientists! We assures them there is nothing to fear. Once they calm down, he gives his creation a command to walk forward, heel to toe. The monster takes a few steps forward. At this sight, the audience claps. The doctor then instructs his creature...

Dr. Frankenstein continues on the stage, addressing the audience of some distinction. He assures them that bringing something to life would be an accomplishment. However, what he is about to reveal is going to go straight to the heart of immortality itself. As the audience, including the Monopoly guy, scoffs at his boast, Dr. Frankenstein presents the creature, who stumbles through the curtain to...

As we begin today's episode, the camera continues to pan across the theatre, full of patrons. While they patiently sit, waiting for the show to start, the police make an entrance. Because of the possibility of something going wrong, Inspector Kemp has guards on hand. After one of the officer fixes his outstretched arm, a spotlight hits the stage. The emcee addresses the audience and then introduce...

We begin with Dr. Frankenstein telling his monster he will show him how much he is loved. He promises to teach him to walk and talk and to prove to the world just what an amazing contribution to science he will be! Inga asks if Frederick is okay and he acknowledges by claiming his name is FRANKENSTEIN! We close with a marquee displaying a gathering of notable scientists to see a one-night-only pre...

We continue today's episode with Dr. Frankenstein telling his creature to look at that sweet smile. Once the creature is taken off guard, Frederick continues to flatter the monster until he eventually ends up sitting on his lap. By the end of the minute, it seems as though the young Dr. Frankenstein is building up to a huge revelation about his own existence. Returning to us as a guest on the Wild...

Dr. Frankenstein begs to be let out of the room, resorting to both cursing and calling for his mommy. It is evident that none of his compatriots are going to break their promise to not unlock the door. Turing to face the creature, who has broken free from his bonds, the young Dr. Frankenstein first mutters something under his breath and then goes for the only play he has -- flattery. Joining us fo...

At the start of this episode, Dr. Frankenstein is still giving out his very specific and detailed instruction to Frau Blucher, Inga and Igor. He demands, under no circumstances are they to open the locked door once he steps inside. As he makes his way into the private library, now a prison for his creature, he accidentally bumps the table. This causes the monster to awaken with a roar. Dr. Franken...

The Young Dr. Frankenstein, still in disguise, yells, "Now!" and a giant cargo net falls on the monster. Then the doctor, joined by Inga and Igor, wrestle with the creature allowing Inga to give him a sedative.  Once back in the secret laboratory, Dr. Frankenstein has decided on a new course of action to try to save his poor creation.  We discuss the original script and how much of the motivations...

We continue with the door to Harold's cottage being decimated and then find out that the final line of the blind man had been in the script this whole time. We then see the hulking shadow of the creature roaming the late-night streets of Transylvania when he is suddenly drawn to the sound of a violin playing a familiar tune. As he is lured, a bearded man in an over-sized hat yells, "Now!" Returnin...

We continue today with the cigars being presented by Harold, the blind man, and we discover that the creature seems less afraid of fire than before. However, once Harold accidentally lights the creature's thumb, it's obvious he cannot take it any longer, letting out a huge scream before charging out of the room and breaking apart the door. Returning to join us once again on the Wilder Ride , after...

The blind man still ends up pouring the second ladle-full of soup into the creature's lap despite the monster's best efforts. Then they immediately go for wine but before the monster can drink, the blind man wants a toast. As they clink mugs, the creature's explodes, leaving just the handle in place. At the very end of the minute, the blind man has yet another surprise -- cigars! Joining us again...

The blindman brings the monster over to his table to get some warm soup. As he goes to pour a ladel full, the blind man misses the bowl and pours the boiling hot soup into the lap of the monster. Undetered, this time Frankenstein's creature is going to keep a really close eye on the bowl to make sure scoop number two doesn't miss. Joining us again today is Doug Greenberg of Rocky Minute who is a h...

An aged man prays for some companionship to keep him company when suddenly the creature bursts through the door. The beaded man, prayer beads in hand and wearing a cassock thanks the Lord and goes to the hulking figure at the door, complementing him on being the tallest in his class. Joining us today is Doug Greenberg of Rocky Minute who is helping us on the Wilder Ride .

We begin with the little girl finishing her sentence about what are they going to throw into the well now? The monster gives a half-smile and a knowing wink and a nod to what he might throw next. The parents are still agonizing over whether or not they checked the bedroom upstairs when it occurs to them she may have been in the bathroom. While they run upstairs, we return to the girl and the monst...
