October 28, 2011 - Frankenstein Friday

As kids who celebrate Halloween get ready to don costumes and go door to door chanting, “Trick or Treat,” some people like to get into the spirit by watching scary movies or reading horror books. I personally am a wimp and carefully avoid scary stuff—but there are funny things associated with a Frankenstein monster—like the movie Young Frankenstein (rated PG), and the old TV show The Addams Family. 

I have some not-very-scary Frankenstein stuff suggested at the bottom of this earlier post.

Celebrate Frankenstein Friday with food, song, and dance!

Get into the mood for monstrous fun with “The Monster Mash.” 

Dance like Frankenstein. It's fun to dance as if you were a mechanical being. These three guys do it well. 

If you've worked up an appetite, try eating some Frankenstein frankfurters, Frankenstein Baked Peppers,  and maybe even a Frankenstein cake.  If you don't want to go through the trouble of making a cake, you can make almost any rectangular treat into a Frankenstein Friday treat with some frosting!
