Frankenstein Vs The Golem - Once And For All!

With A special Mid-Card Bout featuring... well, that would be telling you way too early, thus minimizing the impact of the sweet surprise, now wouldn't it be the case, hmm...

The Monster of Frankenstein and the Golem have shared a hell of a lot from the very beginning. They are man's artificial creation - an abomination for man does not create life, God Does. And yet - these two are, purportedly, humanoid lifeforms created by man. Moreso in the case of the Golem than Franky, truth be told, for the former is truly made from non-organic matter while Frank, well, he's just, basically, REANIMATED BITS OF CORPSES, ALL SEWN TOGETHER! A patchwork zombie; that is what he is! The Golem is made of clay or anything else, really - and given life through mystical means, not God Knows how many volts of electricity! Thus, in fact, Golly is a thousand times more abominable than Franky is - because the ghostly essences of a legion could be animating the latter, but Golly there could most likely only be stirring and coming forth spurred on by the power of a demon, nothing less!

But do not let me influence your impression of these two, now; see them for yourselves...

And from the mad scientist's lunacy we go straight into religious fervor to the umpteenth degree...!

(Oopsy-do there; the Golem of 1920 couldn't make it -or take it- anymore... Sorry!)

Jews who want to "compel the powers of darkness" to reveal their potency... It sure doesn't sound like the rabbi there is on the good side of things at all!

Maybe he'd better turn towards new technology: like robotics, for instance! A golem is a silly putty kind of solution from the archaic artisanal past; the future lies elsewhere...

Some people never learn though...

In some isolated cases, however, going retro is the right way to go:

Once cool, always cool - rrrrright?
And there is nothing quite as cool as winter is, so...

I think we have a winner - not the Golem, not Frankenstein, but EWG!
The Edgar Winter Group Frankenstein!
