Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, a LOT of it dates back, not even just to Bram Stoker, but to Bela Lugosi specifically.

Even the whole "It's just called Frankenstein's MONSTER" joke is about this fact The Creature is so angsty because not only does he personally not have a name, he doesn't even have a name for THE KIND OF THING THAT HE IS

I disagree about Dracula's themes! You're right about Frankenstein and the horror of the Creature being drawn from the shock of the new — Mankind's penetrating too far into Nature's secrets and creating new and horrifying! It's why Victor recoils when he truly sees the Creature.

Yeah - And it's a weird double-move, because often the modern equivalents of Frankensteins kind of drop the doctor directly, or sideline him. Jurassic Park, Terminator, the Matrix, etc. The doctor is all of us.

The exception is probably Age of Ultron

The monster isn't even described as deformed or corpse like, he's just got some weird proportions and has intense, alien eyes.
