Happy (almost) Halloween! Here's another one I've wanted to do for a while- Frankenstein but Victor tries to take responsibility for his mistakes after freaking out over seeing his very tall very green son for the first time. He looks for him after he runs away so they can reconcile, and eventually escape together to the mountains (with Clerval and Elizabeth in tow) so they can all live in peace together.

I notice I make a lotta "ok well what if this sad story that originally had no happily ever afters for its characters.....HAD a happy ending??" type animatics, and that kind of defeats the purpose of the original stories' messages sometimes (f.e, Frankenstein's lesson was "You should take responsibility for the life you create, there are major consequences if you don't and Victor is an example of why") buuuuuut I also really love the sort of subgenre thats cropped up in recent years where people take classic horror literature and keep ita lil spooky, but make the characters have functional, thriving relationships?? Though I mean, I definitely don't think a cry and a hug is gonna fix all the trauma and attempted murder in this AU but the reconciliation is meant to be the beginning of both the Creature's and Victor's redemptions, an acknowledgement that they're BOTH "monsters" while also not immediately forgiving each other but willing to better their relationship as son and father. I apologize if it didn't come off that way- tbh something more realistic (like the Creature getting angry at Victor for going in for a hug after initially rejecting him) wouldn't have fit the duration of the video, so I went with the quicker, more overtly sappy route instead lmao X'D still overall happy with how the video turned out
