How come Frankenstein had to use parts from different people? In the film, with his first monster, there are stitches all over the face, and round the neck and wrists. It was the same with his 2nd monster. Why was this?
I should imagine it was purely so that the monsters looked as terrifying as possible. Afterall, if they looked reasonable passable with very few scars, it wouldn't have the same impact in the film if the audience went "meh.....my 1st husband was uglier than that"
I should have explained that I'm taking specifically about the Ken Brannagh movie. De Niro's monster has stitches all over his face, and has a different body and different hands. His character was a criminal seen in an earlier scene, who ends up stabbing someone (I think!!), and Frankenstein used his head, but what was wong with the rest of his body?? Did he sew his hands onto a different body for strength perhaps??
