Doctor Victor Frankenstein is the name of the mad scientist character who created the monster and gave it life.

The Frankenstein monster first appeared on film in Edison Studios' Frankenstein of 1910.

Universal Studios' Frankenstein was released in 1931. Actor Boris Karloff played the role of the creature.

In 2006, horror writer Dean Kootz penned a series of novels that reimagine the Frankenstein story in present-day New Orleans.

It is believed that the ancient Egyptians began to mummify their dead as early as 2500 B.C. - but the Chinchorros of South America did it first.

All of a mummy's major internal organs were removed and placed in canopic jars - except for the heart, which was thought to be the center of intelligence.

In ancient times, up to seventy days could pass between an individual's death and their entombment. Forty days was the average amount of time necessary for the dehydration and embalming of the body.

Unwrapping mummies was a popular, if distasteful, pastime in the Victorian era. Hosts would purchase a mummy for the purpose of unwrapping, then throw parties at which the unwrapping served as the evening's entertainment.

Countless mummies were also ground into medicinal powders, or even burned as firewood in areas of Egypt where trees were scarce.

King Tut's tomb was discovered in 1923. Lord Carnarvon, financier of the expedition, died of an infected mosquito bite and pneumonia within weeks of entering Tut's burial chamber. This event is believed to have inspired legends of vengeful mummies and cursed tombs.
