Isn't it odd that humans feel horrified by physical disfigurement ? the whole point about Frankenstein I think is not about being spooked, it's about how society holds physical perfection in very high esteem. It's as if someone who's disfigured is in some way damaged. It asks the question, who is the monster, really ? that's what I think. I don't think it's about being spooked at all.

yes, it is odd that humans are horrified by physical disfigurement. however, this play is a rather "gorier" version of Mary Shelley's original - with zombies and whatnot.

but you're right. a lot of literary works have dealt with ugliness in the most horrific ways. it can also be a personification though. not necessarily what's at the surface. but how many people would be able to analyse that in the play? the obvious "marketing strategy" would be to get spooked this halloween, rite? unless "spook" here means to scare your inner fears (monster) out of you... hmm?
