Over at Victor Frankenstein’s place, he allows his monster to choose his own name. I guess he went on a major bender? So he decides to wander back into the dive bar for a little hair o’ the dog. Under a dock in a seedy part of town, Chandler awakes, surrounded by rats. Man, I love these creepy cold openings! BEST EVER.
The last thing we see is her severed arm, hand still gripping the apple she was just about to eat. Our whore’s face is terrified as “something” attacks her. When he’s almost out of sight, he disappears and his torch clatters to the ground. Well, there’s her first mistake right there! A lantern lighter wanders by. So while I won’t be recapping Penny Dreadful as a literary expert, I will be recapping it as a huge horror buff, and I hope that’s alright with you guys.įor Penny Dreadful‘s cold open this week, a whore is sitting on a bench, at night in the fog. Confession time: I’ve never read Dracula, or The Picture of Dorian Gray, and it’s been years since I read Frankenstein. So I totally, totally missed the whole ‘Mina’ thing in the pilot, and for that I’m sorry. I should also mention that, as much as I love horror, I’m not at all up on my 19th century fiction.
