When people want to do an impression of Frankenstein’s monster, they often stagger-walk with their arms stiffly held out. Ever wonder why? That actually comes from the 1943 movie Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man. In the movie, the monster is blinded and has to walk holding his hands out in front of him. In the original script, the blindness is said to be a side effect of Igor’s brain being implanted into the monster at the end of the previous film (The Ghost of Frankenstein, 1942). This is only mentioned, though, in the original script; the dialogue was removed in post-production, and ended up on the cutting room floor.
