Inktober 2020 – Day Twenty-Five – Buddy
For the last week, every time I saw “buddy” coming up on the prompt list. It was another one of those concepts where a scary angle did not come to mind. Until I thought about who the buddy might be.
Being mostly a complete wimp about horror movies growing up, I was late to watching most of the classics. So frequently, it was a dissipointment to find that most of the Universal monsters weren’t that scary.
Perhaps it’s because we’re much more jaded than we were in the forties. Perhaps it’s because we’ve grown up with cartoon versions of all of these monsters. Either way I can’t imagine someone screaming and running away when we see them.
Because of this I imagine one’s reaction to Frankenstein’s monster is buying him a beer.
