Author's Note - Mad Scientists

The crazy, loner, brilliant, and sometimes absurd “Mad Scientist” archetype sure has come a long ways since their heyday in the old black and white horror movies. Actually they haven’t! They still commit outlandish acts that only they understand, they still perform unnatural experiments on people, and some still employ an assistant or two to help them with their schemes. I’m going to take this opportunity and explore some of the recent additions to this sub-genre. But before I do, I will begin with one of the most famous Mad Scientists to ever grace the silver screen, Henry from the original Universal Pictures film “Frankenstein”!
