The winner of the last Great Wednesday Compare ( Frankenstein vs. The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde), with a final score of 7-1 was Frankenstein.
Frankie can relax another week. I've not read nor seen Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde except for spoofs in cartoons. Seems like an interesting premise at least. Speaking of movies, did you see Mary Reilly, the Julia Roberts/ John Malkovich movie where Jekyll's servant is the focal point? I'd completely forgotten about it until this post. Maybe I should rent it for Halloween. Is it any good? I can't say this trailer does anything for me...
Keeping with our creepy theme...

Although I am tempted to switch my vote for King, I'll stick with Frankenstein for another week here!
"I'm a salami writer. I try to write good salami, but salami is salami. You can't sell it as caviar." Stephen King.
I guess that makes me a salami reader.
Yeesh, what a choice. But, since I've read The Shining, like, ten times, I'll vote for King.
I've read some King, but not The Shining. Frankenstein still gets my vote!
I haven't seen the Mary Reilly movie as I can't stand Julia Roberts but I loved the book the movie was based on.
No brainer here, my vote goes to The King with The Shining!
Frankenstein
I'm backing The Shining. Like Remi, I enjoy some good salami every now and then.
I have seen Mary Reilly and it is infinitely forgettable. DOn't bother with it.
Tough one. The Shining was so creepy but I'll always think of Jack, the elevator of blood & those weird twins from the movie. It's hard to separate the two.
I'll go with Frankenstein.
I love early King but I have to stick with the classic. Frankenstein.
Much as I liked The Shining, I've got to go with Frankenstein.
To me, Stephen King IS classic!! Love him or hate him, The Shining is fantastic. My vote goes to Uncle Steve!!
My fondness for Uncle Stevie transcends my admiration for Mary Shelley.
Frankenstein again for me. I love how there is more to it than just the monster!
