    I just went through the promo very slowly. At 9 seconds in, we see Reggie stepping into a mausoleum where she obviously kept Daniel in a glass coffin similar to Snow’s. Only Daniel is missing. At 12 seconds into the clip we hear Dr. Whale start to say “Now I know……” and then a cut to Jefferson voice saying “who can bring back the dead”. The rest of Dr. Whale’s sentence will be “what it feels like to be God!” About 20 seconds into the video, we see Regina staring in horror at an empty stretcher, with bloody sheets on it. Tucked inside the sheets is Dr. Whale’s severed left arm clearly sporting what is left of a white doctor’s jacket and blue shirt underneath! Perhaps Daniel was a little too enthusiastic about seeing Whale and shook his arm a little too strongly? 😮 Yep, it was definitely his arm in that cooler! Bring it on Halloween!

    If he is Dr. Frankenstein, where Igor? With all the body part in Mystery Man’s NY apartment, or body part related items, I’m thinking he might be Dr. Frankenstein’s assistant. It’s a stretch, I know, but I think it’s definitely a possibility.

    The only part of this theory that confuses me a bit.. was Frankenstein a womanizer? Perhaps that was addressed before and I missed it. Once again I would like to offer huge praise for those who pieced together this theory with barley anything to run on.

    Thanks KalliopeKisees 🙂 Two things stand out regarding the womanizer thing.

    1) 1971’s film The Horror of Frankenstein. It was a British cult type of movie where Dr. Frankenstein was a notorious womanizer.

    2) Perhaps the biggest clue of all, that was staring at us the whole time, was Rocky Horror Picture Show. In it, Dr. Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry) was the biggest sexual deviant of all time and he came from another planet/world. Thus Dr. Whale being a notorious skirt chaser/lech and not being from their world.

    Also, in Archie’s notebook, we read about an unknown patient. The first few weeks the patient was listed as blond, meaning male. It then switched to blonde, meaning female. In Rocky Horror Picture Show, Rocky, the monster, is a bleached blond male that swings both ways.

    Dr. Frankenstein was, in part, based of off Mary Shelley’s husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was indeed something of a womanizer.

    I did not catch the Rocky Horror Picture Show Connection. Good God I use to be in our local show. I can recite that movie backwards and front. You would think….

    Once again WAY TO GO TEAM FRANKIE! Fantastic job! Well thought out 🙂

    Thanks to everyone!
