...quest to defeat death-to challenge God. Our monster lives, therefore he wants love too. He's really very touching in his lonely misery." Is Brooks serious about all this? Maybe, but his cure for the poor fellow's isolation is to replace those circa-Karloff lug bolts in his neck with a circa-Courrèges zipper, and to have the heroine swooningly discover that his "ol' zipper neck" is not his only monstrously proportioned part...
