Some snooty know-it-all may correct you when you mention Frankenstein. "No, no--that's Frankenstein's monster. His creator is named Frankenstein. You should read the book instead of some lame horror movie."
That just shows you that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Chip Zdarsky, a comic artist, found the original manuscript to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. If you read to the very end, you'll see that the monster is also named Frankenstein.
