If there is a more sinister animal in nature than the hyena I haven't found it. Frankenstein is just cool. The only monster I like better is the zombie which at this point is getting to be way over exposed. Vampires don't brood, they aren't tragic figures. They are evil, bloodthirsty engines of destruction. That Meyers woman completely ruined the vampire. 30 Days of Night are how vampires should be done. Stephen King for all his multitude of craptastic literary sins does a good vampire story.
I think Frankenstein is sort of a dead end story-wise. It has always been more about the man/god dynamic than it has been about the creature. That's too bad because the creature is intriguing. The creature doesn't have to be mindless. A reanimated thing may or may not have a "soul." And why does it have to be a golem built out of spare parts? I'm just saying.
