Possible Stories to be told in the Land Without Color

[TheGoldenKey]

I`d be happy with any one of the Universal Monsters played by Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Sr. & Jr., Boris Karloff, Claude Rains, etc.

I`m a huge classic horror fan so Frankie`s world was such a thrill for me to see. Maybe we`ll even see some Edgar Allan Poe. Gosh, thinking about the roles that Vincent Price, Christopher Lee and Peter Lorre have played throughout the years. Not Universal Monsters but classic horror just the same.

Bring it on K&H because in my backyard, Barbie ran from The Mummy while GI Joe fought to protect her! 😀

Not really keen on seeing another vampire or vampire story, but the idea with Van Helsing showing up as a colleague / friend of Victor sounds attractive.

Victor believed science is stronger than magic, and think that is still an interesting question to explore, in Storybrooke and / or The World without Color.

As they brought up the issue of duality, monster and human, monster or human. Of course that is something they explore with Rumple, Ruby and even with Philipp as well, a classical motif in fairy tales as much as in some Gothic fiction. But Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is another story I could see them do with this setting.

And would love some Edgar Allan Poe touch.
Once upon a midnight dreary …

Speaking of Gothic fiction:
Just read that ABC ordered a pilot for “Gothica”, a series which is decribed as a ” gothic soap opera” including elements and figures from Gothic fiction, meaning Frankenstein, Dracula, Jekyll & Hyde, Dorian Gray and others.

I wonder if the werewolf that bit Granny was from there…

I like the idea of Jekyll/Hyde going with science theme.

My first thought was Dorian Gray because I like the old black and white movie. I agree the old Universal movies would be a great start!

Vampires are a bit overdone these days, I guess. I’d like to see K&H’s take on them though.

Yes, I know some people aren’t huge fans of them including Frankenstein, and possibly more characters from this land, because they don’t think it fits properly with the fairytale stuff, but I love how it gives them the opportunity to explore this new theme, so I hope they elaborate on it.

Interesting idea. One of the things I liked about Ruby being the one to bond with Whale was how it was a play on the classic pairing of Frankenstein and the Wolfman.

ABC’s really on a role with fantasy/sci-fi these days. We have Zero Hour coming and now Gothica. Certainly hope Storybrooke doesn’t lose their good Dr. Frankie to a lead in a spin off series. 😮

I’ve always thought of Victor’s world as a fictional Transylvania (Wolfman, Dracula and Frankenstein). I was hoping in Child of the Moon that we’d find out they all originated from there.

That’s where I got the idea from!!! I couldn’t remember but now I do. I like that idea. 😀
