Frankenstein - More Than Just Rebirth and Madness
When you think of the Frankenstein movies, names like Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, Mary Shelley and James Whale come to mind. But have you ever heard of Kenneth Strickfaden? Long entombed in the annals of horror movie fame, Strickfaden is the man whose electrical designs made Frankenstein the movie that it is. He was called "Dr. Frankenstein's Electrician" and was directly responsible for all of the electrical effects used in the monster creation scene. He also created all the electrical effects for the later Frankenstein sequels. He was even a stunt double for Boris Karloff, who was deathly afraid of electricity.
Strickfaden was meticulous about his special effects, concocting various exotic laboratory equipment, as well as securing the use of a Tesla Coil built by the legendary scientist Nikola Tesla himself. Rest assured, all the electricity in the film was real, and the equipment he used to produce them became known, in fandom, as "Strickfadens".
Frankenstein
He was responsible for all those breathtaking electrical devices Frankenstein and Fritz, in various movies, clutched, clung to, and recoiled from. Strickfaden also coordinated the memorable lightening bolts that shot across the lab. Without the aid of Tesla's coil, those fantastic discharges would be impossible to create.

Great Deal : Date Created :Apr 15, 2011 07:08:19
It should be noted that Tesla coils are a resonant transformer created by Serbian-American scientist Nikola Tesla around 1891. These coils produce very high voltage, low current and high frequency alternating current electricity. The electrical discharges produced those lighting-like plasma filaments that were so extensively used in the film. Believe it or not during the early 1900s Tesla coils were used to apply high frequency current directly to the body in what was then considered therapy!
Kenneth Strickfaden was considered an innovative special effects genius, especially in the 1930s and 1940s. He worked on movies from Frankenstein to The Wizard of Oz to The Mask of Fu Man Chu. In his later years, he worked on various television series, including The Munsters. With more than 100 motion pictures to his credit, he still managed to give 1500 traveling science demonstrations and lectures across the U.S. and Canada. He remains one of the nearly forgotten heroes of early film and television, where the lightening bolts were real, the laboratory equipment dangerous, and stuntmen walked into electrical storms.

Management by Objective Is Like Frankenstein: Good Intentions That Turn Into a Monster
Frankenstein started out with good intentions. The Dr. lost his brother to a tragic accident and vowed to bring him back to life. With all the best of intentions to create life, his work led to the creation of a monster. Management by Objective (MBO) is much like a Frankenstein monster. I am sure Peter Drucker had the best of intentions when he created the idea of MBO but it hasn't turned out that way.
MBO is a tool to align all actions in an organization around a set of objectives by first identifying the objectives, giving employees objectives consistent with those of the organization, Monitor progress, evaluate the employees and the performance (usually through performance appraisals), rewarding the achievers, punishing the slackers, and then revising the organization objectives again.
Frankenstein
MBO is an outgrowth of a certain set of assumptions and these include:

Our Boys Frankenstein Halloween Costume comes with purple jacket with black inset shirt, black pants with attached thick black shoe covers, and even a green headpiece with attached black hair! You'll stand out among the rest as an iconic scary figure so order this costume today!
• Employees won't put in extra effort unless they are constantly reminded, rewarded, and threatened to work on what is most important. The pay-for-performance portion of MBO is a critical element for this.
• Improving the performance of individuals will improve the performance of the organization.
• Measuring results and holding people accountable to those results will create improvement
The unintended consequences of MBO (the monster) have just recently been confirmed thanks to the "No Child Left Behind" legislation passed by President Bush in his first term. A recent series of articles by USA TODAY uncovered frequent cheating by teachers and principals. This is not the first time cheating has appeared since No Child Left Behind was implemented. A study by the Wall Street Journal uncovered purposeful tampering of the Regents exams in New York. I think they should re-name the program: No "Cheating" Left Behind: MBO Fails Again!
Holding people accountable to results where they can't control (or even influence) all the factors necessary for success will cause either manipulated numbers or cheating. The environment created by pay-for-performance and MBO encourages manipulation because of the pressure for results. Various studies show that students (when asked if they cheat) report as many as 80% admitting to some kind of cheating. The reports by USA Today and the Wall Street Journal confirm the pressure to achieve as one of the root causes.
Some of you may be thinking that these are isolated instances. If so, then why did Bausch and Lomb executives forge sales data and hide inventory to meet stretch goals? Why did Auto repair managers in Sears bilk customers with unnecessary repairs to meet monthly bonuses? Why did Jiffy Lube managers sell unnecessary parts to customers to meet weekly goals? Why did Enron executives manipulate projects? I could go on.
Pressure to perform damages employee engagement. It robs employees of pride and encourages breaks in rules to achieve the results. It puts results in front of ethics.
With the best of intentions your senior leaders may be creating a monster with MBO, stretch goals, pay-for-performance, and performance appraisals. This monster will damage employee engagement and stunt performance improvement.
These are the exact opposite of the original desired outcomes. It is time to eliminate the growth of MBO and to reverse its course before it consumes more employee engagement and valuable resources. We must especially protect the engagement of employees and must especially protect our children. We must kill this monster now.

Frankenstein Halloween Costumes - Choose a Classic Scary Costume
A Frankenstein Halloween costume is a classic costume for Halloween that never goes out of style. Frankenstein is the most well known and identifiable classic science fiction character that is as scary and frightening today as it was 50 years ago.
Frankenstein is the monster in the famous Mary Shelley novel. The monster elicits a whole range of feelings from horror, fear and disgust to compassion, curiosity and kindness.
Frankenstein
People are probably more familiar with the Frankenstein monster from the timeless Hollywood films than from the book. The Frankenstein monster is the huge creature with the green head, flat skull and bolts in the neck. The Frankenstein costume is an ill fitting t-shirt and jacket with ragged pants and heavy black boots.

Great Deal : Date Created :Mar 28, 2011 01:36:26
If you do not want to wear a mask, you can use a Halloween make up kit to construct a really scary monster. Color your face green. Create the suture line on the forehead and cheek. Color in the dark black circles around the eyes.
The costume comes alive when you add the well known clumsy unsteady gait with the arms held out straight in front. Add some grunting and you will have captured the essence of the Frankenstein monster.
There is also the comical side of the Frankenstein monster personified by Herman Munster in the classic 1960s TV show, The Munsters. The overall look is the same as Frankenstein but with a dose of humor instead of terror.
If you are going to a Halloween party or just out to Trick or Treat with some friends, consider going as the classic trio: Frankenstein, Dracula and Wolfman. Each is a quintessential frightening monster in their own right but together, with the right attitude, they will scare and delight all of your friends.

Frankenstein Costumes
There are so many freaky costume choices in deciding what to wear on a Halloween party. In fact, characters may be inspired by many different mystical worlds such as those from fairy tales, dreamland, underworld, and many other setting which are products of people's creative minds.
However, there is no way to beat certain classical science fiction horrifying characters. The Frankenstein character is one belonging to the classical sci-fi genre. It was made more popular on film from a best-selling novel of Mary Shelley. The movie just like that of the novel was a big hit years ago. And, Frankenstein costumes inspired by prominent film and novel, will surely click.
Frankenstein
Frankenstein is a strange creature, who happens to be a product of a failed scientific experiment. The story is intriguing for it touches sensitive issues about life particularly immortality. This kind of plot gives a freaky feel on the background of the character. True indeed, Frankenstein has this inherent terrifying aura. And, the frightening aura of a character can be much scarier than plain horrible looks.

FRANKENSTEIN: LOST SOULS
The war against humanity has begun. In the dead hours of the night, a stranger enters the home of the mayor of Rainbow Falls, Montana. The stranger is in the vanguard of a wave of intruders who will invade other homes . . . offices . . . every local institution, assuming the identities and the lives of those they have been engineered to replace. Before the sun rises, the town will be under full assault, the opening objective in the new Victor Frankenstein’s trajectory of ultimate destruction. Deucalion—Victor’s first, haunted creation—saw his maker die in New Orleans two years earlier. Yet an unshakable intuition tells him that Victor lives—and is at work again. Within hours Deucalion will come together with his old allies, detectives Carson O’Connor and Michael Maddison, Victor’s engineered wife, Erika Five, and her companion Jocko to confront new peril. Others will gather around them. But this time Victor has a mysterious, powerful new backer, and he and his army are more formidable, their means and intentions infinitely more deadly, than ever before.
Moreover, Frankenstein's strange appearance adds up to the petrifying horror experience. He looks worse than a zombie, with the body stitches; nut and bolt right through his head, and the disproportion body appearance. Adding up to the gruesome look, is the filthy and rugged clothes he is in. The entire appearance of Frankenstein is so odd that it is unimaginable to exist in real life. See, Frankenstein costumes can never be freakier?
Frankenstein does not just look creepy, his actions and moves can be very spine-chilling. His disproportion body due to stitches makes unnatural movements. His size is close to an ogre, with a giant's height. He will not fit in a villagers hut with his size. He rarely makes quick and big movements because of his overall strange appearance. Also, Frankenstein creates eerie sounds because he can hardly speak. He may utter some words but in a choppy manner making him sound scary. Frankenstein really comes in a package of terror. Try in those Frankenstein costumes, and have fun seeing people's frightened expressions!
In contrast to his terrifying looks, aura, and actions, Frankenstein has an innocent heart. In the classic story, he even helped a villager's family without the latter knowing. He even defended an old man from the rage of a cruel debt collector. It was just unfortunate in the end, that he gets the blame for the mishaps in that family. It is really a fact that sometimes, characters with inherent might and strength could end up as a victim.
Frankenstein is beyond doubt interesting. Do you have the heart to fit in his shoes? People can be very afraid of this character, and these same people can be very horrifying with their prejudices. Be in Frankenstein costumes and spread the fear to give him that vengeance!

How to Make a Frankenstein Head
It is never too early to start planing for Halloween, especially if you are planning a big party. What better way to impress your guests but with your own handmade head of Frankenstein center piece. This is a quick and simple way to make your own Halloween decoration. My husband and I enjoyed this project and so did our niece and nephew, it was like a science experiment for them. I first thought of it when my husband was about to through out an old latex mask he had bought along time ago. Well I noticed the mask looked similar to Frankenstein face and thought I could put it to good use making a Halloween decoration with it. Note this is a project for outside. Here are a few easy steps on how to make your own.
First you will want to get your work area prepared so the process goes smoothly. Hang the mask upside down where it will be nice and secure and ready for when you pour the plaster in. Make sure you have an old bucket and a stirring stick for mixing. Now you are ready to began. Mix about 8Ib's of plaster (take into consideration the mold you are using), powder paint and water altogether. Remember to work fast because the plaster dry's quickly. Once everything is mixed well began pouring the colored plaster into the latex mold. It will take a minimum of a half hour to dry, this of course will depend on the temperature outside.
Frankenstein
When your mold is completely dry you can then remove the latex mask, you will need to wet and sand the edge of the neck to remove ruff edges. Lastly you can either leave it as is for a more simple look and then just spry the glaze on right away or you can use some black and green paint to fill in the facial details. To help with the details just find a picture online of Frankenstein for reference. I found this to be very helpful. After the paint is dry you can then spry your head with a clearcote of Hi-Shine glaze, giving it a more glossy look then allow some time to dry.

Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley - The Original Horror Story
FRANKENSTIEN
Introduction - Frankenstein is still to this date considered as the marvel that came out of the pen of Mary Shelly, the daughter of philosopher William Wollstonecraft and feminist Mary Godwin. Early reception of the novel was conditioned by the presence of Gothic traits, a darkly blooding protagonist haunted by his past; violation of taboos; violent extremes in nature and in the human psyche. Thought the cruder paraphernalia of horror is missing. The novel has come to acquire the status of a "classic" a cautionary tale relevant for as long as humans attempt to create something new, from engineering social utopia to genetic engineering, a remarkably subtle and complex narrative that's seems to address important political and ethical concerns of the late twentieth century. The critical acceptance accorded to science fiction as a Genre that's asked serious questions about science and society, and often uses gothic tropes to do so also help the status of Frankenstein.
Frankenstein
Plot Summary - The novel begins with explorer Robert Walton looking for a new passage from Russia to the Pacific Ocean via the Arctic Ocean. After weeks as sea, the crew of Walton's ship finds an emaciated man, Victor Frankenstein, floating on an ice flow near death. In Walton's series of letters to his sister in England, he retells Victor's tragic story. Growing up in Geneva, Switzerland, Victor is a precocious child, quick to learn all new subjects. He is raised with Elizabeth, an orphan adopted by his family. Victor delights in the sciences and vows to someday study science. Victor prepares to leave for his studies at the University of Ingolstadt, when his mother and Elizabeth become ill with scarlet fever. Caroline dies from the disease, and Elizabeth is nursed back to health. Victor Frankenstein is thrilled to be at university. He throws himself into his studies and discovers what no one else has. It is possible to create life, specifically in the form of a human. Victor now doubles his efforts and manages to create his own human. However, Victor is disgusted by the creature's grotesque appearance and guttural speech. He abandons the creature and endeavors to forget that it ever existed.

The murder of his young brother brings Victor back home. While there, he again encounters his creation. The creature confronts Victor with a horrible request: to make another creature to be his companion. If Victor agrees, the creature will leave him and all mankind alone. If he doesn't, the creature will not rest until he has destroyed Victor and his family." Characters The story of Frankenstein mainly revolves around three primary characters: Robert Walton -- the narrator; Victor Frankenstein -- the creator of the monster; and the monster -- the destroyer. However, other secondary characters play important roles in the novel as well. The following are the main characters:
• Henry Clerval- Victor's closest friend and companion, who balance his emotional and rational pursuits, Clerval nurses Victor back to health, playing the role of protector and comforter after Victor runs from the creature when the creature comes to life.
• Alphonse Frankenstein- Victor's father is described by his son as "respected by all who knew him for his integrity and indefatigable attention to public business." Victor's father, very sympathetic toward his son. Alphonse consoles Victor in moments of pain and encourages him to remember the importance of family.
• Elizabeth Lavenza- Wife of victor adopted by Frankenstein's, Elizabeth and Victor share more than the typical sibling affections for each other; they love each other. She in many ways alter ego of Victor Frankenstein. She gets killed by the monster on her wedding night.
• Felix de lacey- A hard-working son who cares for his family and his beloved fiancee' Safie. His unasked-for kindness to Safie's father, a foreign convict, stands in contrast to his cruel dismissal and beating of the creature.
• Mr de-lacey- The blind father of Felix and Agatha, Mr. De Lacey serves as a surrogate father to the creature. The creature notes his benevolence towards his family, and notes that "he would talk in a cheerful accent, with an expression of goodness that bestowed pleasure even upon me. Mr. De Lacey is the only one in the book who does not judge or fear the creature. He is the only friend the creature has.
Frankenstein- an overview
• The novel takes place in the late 1700's in various parts of Europe especially Switzerland and Germany, and in the Arctic. The novel was published in 1818 in England at the height of Romantic Movement.This time however also witnessed French and American Revolution. The post revolutionary period was also marked by economic suffering and social disorder, as the new industrialism transformed English Society. Shelley's readers lived in hopeful, but also disturbingly turbulent times, and that is what we witness and most evident in the novel.
• The story is foretold through the medium of letters which Captain Robert Walter writes to his cousin Seville living in England. It is through the letters that we know the locations and the intentions of the captain. Later the letters also reveal the story of Victor Frankenstein and that of growing friendship /Fondness between Captain Robert Walter and Victor and eventually his death.
• Mary Shelley's use of language in chapters shifts the novel from a hypothesis without consequences to that of a reality without full control or understanding with very real consequences. Shelley's words become intensely descriptive, in order to provoke contemplation on the part of the reader. She creates a setting that both captivates and horrifies the reader by revealing that Frankenstein seems to have lost all sense of reason, driven only by his compulsion regardless of the consequences. Shelley firsts describes the monster in detail for the reader so that when she reveals Victor's description, his words are so confusing...'beautiful yet repulsive' they force the reader to question his true intentions. Quotes
• "...partially unveiled the face of Nature, but her immortal lineaments were still a wonder and a mystery." (pg. 25) In this passage, Shelley gives nature a gender and physical attributes to something not human. This is an example of personification, a tool used to by authors to make something inanimate more lifelike and expressive. Calling nature a "her" and then using the word lineaments (a word meaning 'one of the outlines, exterior features, or distinctive marks of a body or figure, particularly of the face') makes the idea of nature come alive and give Frankenstein more ability to be intimate with the idea of nature. • Victor implores Walton not to follow his example, warning, "Learn from me... how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge, and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow." Here, Shelley seems to argue that ignorance is bliss.
• Frankenstein reveals, "I was seized by remorse and the sense of guilt, which hurried me away to a hell of intense tortures, such as no language can describe." This theme of self-loathing remains throughout the rest of the book.
• Victor laments, "William, Justine, and Henry-they all died by my hands." Frankenstein is very earnest in his belief that he is the cause of their deaths, and he is even more horrified by the thought that they won't be the last victims of his poor judgment. Personifications and Symbols • Light Light symbolizes enlightenment in Frankenstein. Walton expects to find the secrets of the universe unveiled in the North Pole, which he describes as "a country of eternal light." Light also accompanies nearly all of Victor's epiphanies. When he first discovers natural philosophy, he says, "A new light seemed to dawn upon my mind." When he discovers the secret to creating life, he describes his feelings as if "a sudden light broke in upon me." He envisions pouring a "torrent of light into our dark world" through the creation of a new species. Yet light that's too bright is also blinding, and both Victor and Walton fail to see or consider the dangerous consequences of their quests for enlightenment.
• Fire The complete title of Shelley's novel is Frankenstein, Or the Modern Prometheus. Prometheus was the titan who, in Greek mythology, gave the knowledge of fire to humanity and then suffered severe punishment at the hands of the Gods for his generous actions. In Frankenstein, VICTOR attempts to give the gift of the secret of life to humanity, but ends up suffering grave punishment as a result: the MONSTER he creates destroys his family and his life. Fire appears throughout the novel as a dangerous force used for sustenance (as when the monster discovers fire) and punishment (as when the monster describes demons suffering in the lake of fire in hell).
• The Primary tension in the novel is between Frankenstein and his monster, a 'doubling' of the creature and his creator, which suggests that monstrosity and 'normalcy' may not be the binary opposites that they appear to be. Put differently, the story can be said to be about the 'making' of a monster, both literally, in Frankenstein's laboratory, and metaphorically, through social process. • Themes of the novel Search for love: This theme reflects a strong theme in Shelley's own life. The monster knows he is horrid and will never be loved, although he attempts to find love several times. He is constantly rejected and disappointed. Frankenstein, he, searches for happiness through love, but he meets with tragic loss of several loves. Tragic, weak women: Frankenstein actually begins to make a second female monster, to provide companionship for his own first creation, but he then destoys it and dumps the remains in a lake. Frankenstein's wife dies tragically, as does the accused Justine.
Summary Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus is the most famous novel by Mary Shelley, wife of the poet Percy Shelley. It has been done considerable damage thanks to its innovation and its author's audacity in confronting issues of such a controversial nature as artificially creating life in the early nineteenth century. The novel was immediately enormously successful, spawning a stage production that made Frankenstein's creation - the so-called 'monster' - mute for the first but not only time. The novel was published initially in 1818 although later versions exist in which the author succumbed to pressures to tone down certain elements. This is the more polished 1831 edition, which is the most common edition of the text. The original is a masterpiece of Gothic literature however. It is narrated by an explorer, Walton, who writes the story in letters home. However, the bulk of the story is told by Victor Frankenstein who narrates his own creation of a man from bones he has stolen and with the power of electricity. In the centre of the concentric circles of narrative is the creature himself, by far the most sympathetic of the narrators, who is forced by an unsympathetic world to acts of violence and cruelty and finally the murder of Frankenstein's wife when the 'father' refuses to create a companion for the creature. The novel's settings of Swiss mountains and Arctic desolation are perfect for Mary Shelley's tale that was originally conceived abroad in the wet summer of 1816 with Byron and her husband in a night telling ghost stories. None of the narrators are wholly to be trusted or liked, but each learns from the others and their mental torment is mimicked in the 'sublime' or rugged and vast landscapes Shelley describes so vividly.
