It’s that time of year again in which I have to correct the record: 1) Frankenstein is the sir name of the doctor who created the monster, not the name of the monster and 2) Frankenstein’s monster (see, that was easy) is not green. This is a misunderstanding of color stills of Boris Karloff in green makeup which was used to give Frankenstein’s monster (still an easy distinction) a paler corpse-like appearance in the B&W (really shades of grey) movie compared to the other characters.
