Frankenstein Placeholder, Valentine's Edition: Necronanigans!



 Apologies again for not posting my ground-breaking "Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman" blog, but I promise it will absolutely change the history of cinema and entiely salvage the reputation of Bela Lugosi, so hold tight. In the meanime, here's something appalling I learnt from my friend Michelle earlier this week. Above is a photo of the "vehicle" in which "Count" Carl Tanzler hoped to take Elena de Hoyos high into the stratosphere, restoring her corpse to life with cosmic rays. This is Tanzler building it.


 The flight never happened however, and what he did with Hoyos' body in the intervening nine NOPE years, including paying for a mausoleum NOPE to which only he had the key NOPE is as far as we can NOPE NOPE know recounted in appropriately rueful detail by mortician Caitlin Doughty below. "The public mood was generally sympathetic NOPE to Tanzler," wikipedia notes NOPES, "whom many viewed as an eccentric 'romantic'" NOPE NOPE NOPE although you'd hope a more modern NOPE public would NOPE at least NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
