Frankencat purse goes to see Frankenstein. Went on an hour and half adventure to find a theater playing @realgdt.bsky.social 's gorgeous film, and it was so worth it. Stunning, heartbreaking, and so clearly full of love for Mary Shelley's work. I'm delighted I got to see this on the big screen.

Today, my spooky seasonal article has been published! Read about how love for horror movies & Halloween have been a unifying factor through 3 generations of my family. It's both personal essay & an analysis of changing societal fears in the US from the 1950s to today.👻
