Hello and welcome to another Monstrous Monday post typed in early Tuesday morning. I really must start finding new monster pictures for this feature, but for right now, let me go to my Media Library and see what I can find.
I went back to 2016, when I first learned how to add pictures to the blog. Till then I told myself it was all about the words, thus excusing my lack of technological expertise. I still lack said expertise (hence no new monster pictures when I post from the Chromebook) but I improve by dribs and drabs. Anyways, this is Witchy, who graces my front porch much of the year. I brought her in last Christmas instead of dressing her as an angel, which I usually do. She currently stands in my dining room, awaiting further developments.
I go from sweet to scary with a shot from the 1922 silent movie, Nosferatu, one of my all time favorites. I like to tell the story of how my mom and her colleague borrowed it from the library to show my elementary school when I was in 6th grade. It was a fun Friday night thing the school was doing. They thought, a silent Dracula, how scary could it be? They found out. It was years before I saw the whole movie. They had to stop it, because the younger kids were crying. I felt really bad for Mom and her friend.
Under the heading Nobody’s Perfect, I end with Bride of Frankenstein. I use this as my Facebook profile picture sometimes. I think it sums up a lot of us.
