Scary Rotter and the Deathly Gallows



It swings like a leaf from a tree
A thing--just some beef I'll cut free
It hangs there, suspended
It's strangled, life ended
What stings is that thief could be me.

Does Fritz (Dwight Frye) identify with the hanged criminal in Frankenstein (James Whale; 1931)? Does he see his own future at the hands of the Monster? With Colin Clive. Nothing like a hanging to put one in a festive holiday mood. Title by merry Christmas fairy Donald Benson.
