Hey, what's your favorite horror movie?

[So starts Veronica's latest video, showing her dressed as Nancy Thompson from A Nightmare on Elm Street. The costume's not complete just yet, there are three wigs of varying shades of brown in front of her, but she's definitely getting a headstart on putting this outfit together.

There's also a small stack of DVDs beside one of the wigs, with titles such as Children of the Corn, Massacre at Camp Macintosh, and Friday the 13th printed on the sides. Clearly she's put some thought into this.]


Barring that, in case you had no idea what a movie was before you came here, what's your favorite kind of horror story? Something with ghosts, monsters, evil killers—if it's something you'd tell around a campfire to scare the shit out of your friends, I'd like to hear about it. [She taps the stack of DVDs.] Research purposes, you see.

[And by research, she means she's trying to find the movies that'll terrify the shit out of the most people to screen for the night.]

That's... Frankenstein is complicated.

It's flesh and body parts more than a machine, I think. Otherwise...I might have to think of human bodies as machines too, and they aren't. I can't talk to them.

But if I met Frankenstein, I could tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt.

[Crane would disagree.]

Human bodies respond to medication, to food and fuel, for good and bad. They are predictable. Robotic, even. You're just not as excellent at communicating as you think you are.

[It wasn't something he said harshly; just an observation.]

Anyway, your answer would have to depend on the interpretation of the monster, wouldn't it? Not all Frankensteins resemble the original... [A pause.] ... unfortunately.

Or maybe the people who gave me my powers disagreed.

[ It's absolutely that. ]

You're right, though. They don't. I'd prefer the Shelley version to anything else.

You and me both.

[He inhales sharply, though it only lasts a second. Then he drives the conversation forward.]

Well, at least we know we can agree on something>.

Hah! I never thought I'd see the fucking day, but here we are.

I just feel like...you can never go wrong with a classic.

Oh, I don't know. There's a whole genre of "classic" movies that would disagree with you.

[B-movie horror flicks are the worst. The. Worst.]
