One of the best parts about Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is that Frankenstein creates the monster in the span of about one paragraph, and procedes to describe how beautiful it actually is. It isn't until he sees the monsters eyes that he gets freaked out.

The other reason Igor gets remembered as being in the original movie is because he kinda is. In the 1931 Universal film, Dr. Frankenstein has a hunched-back assistant who is actually the reason the "monster" acts like a monster (he drops the "normal" brain and grabs a criminal brain to replace it). The only difference is that in this film, the assistant's name is Fritz. The statement's correction is still accurate, but it's not really the Mandela Effect to think Igor was in it; he was in it, just by a different name.

@@csn583 It's still insane to tell people to go under the surface of the water to swim away. As I said, I was caught in a riptide, and I was nearly drowning from the powerful force. What really saved my life was swimming to the surface because the water wanted to drag me down and keep me down. Perhaps that's because it's stronger at the surface, but that would mean surfacing for air is harder. So the main takeaway here is- do NOT go under the water. Stay up and try floating, if you're not strong enough to swim.

Um, Actually there WAS a hunchback lab assistant in the 1931 Frankenstein movie - he just wasn't named Igor. He was named Fritz, and was played by Dwight Frye, who is more remembered for playing Renfield in Dracula, also released in 1931. Other than the name, the character Fritz is a dead ringer for the "Igor" stock character as immortalized by pop cultural memory. It's likely at some point the name just got mixed up with the later character played by Lugosi (that character also had a bodily deformation, but it was a twisted neck, the result of a botched hanging).

I actually got the Sadako answer (Japanese Ringu ftw, y'all) and felt the most overwhelming sense of pedantry of all time, while being 100% sure no one else on the panel would get it. Well done, writers!

Another reason space is so appealing to horror movies is because the victims can't just leave, like a lot of the time horror movies get really contrived in creating reasons for them not to run, but if you're in space, you're in space, the best you can do is an escape pod, and then you set it up so they're on the opposite side of the ship with the monster between. Um actually Igor was a once hung criminal who was "friends" with the monster, by which I mean he was directing him to kill the men who sentenced him to be hung.

Plus if the ship goes down with the monster in it but you make it out alive, you can end the movie with a loooong pullback of the character just hanging on to a bit of wood in a vast ocean...but then cheapen it by revealing in the sequel they got really lucky and happened to get picked up in the nick of time.

But by thy time the series concluded 2 days after the Um Actually upload it had been known for months that there's 3 spinoffs: one with Negan & Maggie called The Walking Dead: Dead City, one with only Daryl called Daryl Dixon, and a 3rd spinoff about Rick & Michonne in place of the 3 films.

The reason horror movies in space are a thing is that it amplifies the claustrophobia and aloneness. Jason in a forest, you can run and he will chase you. Jason in space, you can't go anywhere. Jason in a forest, you can call the cops or park rangers to come and help (die instead), Jason in space, no-one can come (in a reasonable way or time frame) to help.

My quick research of igor just now shows that the hunchback with that name originated in a public conception of the story through a combination of points from various comic sketch parodies of frankenstein, and other monster stories, from the 1960s

I think the reason why Child's play/chucky franchise never went to space is because Don Mancini has been the creative force behind the series the whole time. As opposed to a lot of franchies like Friday the 13th and The Leprechaun movies the studio is in control with the creative direction. So they probably legit think "Oh, we havent done a space on yet and every horror franchise has to go to space at some point".

Um Actually, it's the opposite of Sadako keeping up with technology as you learn her curse can spread through ANY media, including books. One of the characters in Spiral wrote a book about Sadako, not realizing he was passing the curse along

I always thought the voice was a bit. Cool to see the person behind such an unique voice

Um actually in Pokemon Sword and Shield people discovered that because the battle timer was shorter, if you run a defensive stall team using all shiny Pokemon the animation that happens on reveal adds just enough time that it is a tactical advantage and you could win running the time out.

Okay, this is a crazy coincidence, but I was on discord a while back, and they weren't taking fan-submitted questions at the time, but one of the questions I was going to suggest was that EXACT SAME Igor/Frankenstein question, almost word-for-word! Are you guys inside my head right now???

God it's so refreshing when all three contestants actually know about the subject in question

I actually just remembered "the haunting" the other day. Been trying to remember it for years. Only thing i remembered was the lion head fireplace scene.

Um, actually, Igor the hunchbacked assistant comes from Young Frankenstein.

As a Floridian, the real life skills question for this one was super easy. In Florida, pretty much everyone learns in school what to do in a rip current since it's a given that you'll be going to the beach. I was actually caught in a rip current one time and I just relaxed, let it take me out and calmly paddled parallel to the shore until it spit me out and then I calmly paddled my way back to shore, all the while conserving energy. When it happened I was like "Oh I know what to do" and so I wasn't scared. Actually it was kind of fun the way the current just took me out and then let me go. If you were to put dye in a rip current and look at it from above, it would form a sort of mushroom shape with the current pulling you out to sea and then at a certain point the current just dissipates and spreads out. That's part of the reason to just swim parallel to the beach, cause you're working with the current instead of against it, and if you're lucky you can exit the current early by swimming out of the side of it.

Possible correction on the Frankenstein question. The 1931 film is adapted from a play, which may have originated the damaged brain. Not sure about the neck bolts, didn't find any images on a quick google search.

The warrens lived in our neighborhood. I grew up walking distance to their house. So weird to hear they have so many movies.

In the Ring, do you have to both make a copy AND make someone view it? I thought there was a character who lived who only made another person watch it. And the kid only made a copy, (his mom's hands guiding him), we never see if that copy is actually seen

House on Haunted Hill is what Scary Movie 2 has as its main parody premise It's the "sleep study sleepover in a haunted mansion and everybody dies" movie

It's probably not what you guys wanted corrections on, but for public safety, rip currents (more popularly known as riptides) are stronger beneath the surface of the water, making them much more dangerous.
