i've come to the conclusion that all classic movie monsters -- dracula, the creature from the black lagoon, frankenstein, wolfman, the fly, the mummy -- have one thing in common: they're all lonely guys looking for love, that's what it boils down to. and that's why i can totally related to movie monsters. think about it: dracula's looking for some hapless young maiden to seduce, the creature from the black lagoon abducts that woman from the boat, frankenstein wants a bride, the wolfman's always on the prowl, and the mummy wants to be reunited with his long lost love. each monster has his own style, his own special way of finding that special someone. but if their love pursuits have anything to teach us, it's that it never works out, at least not for monsters. but aren't we all metaphorically monsters? so the next time you're watching dracula or frankenstein on television, don't think of them as bad guys. they're really not. after all -- they're just lonely guys, looking for love. is that so wrong?
