A Brief Synopsis: Dr. Frankenstein returns destitute to his home village to recommence his experimental research into the reanimation of dead tissue, and stumbles upon his old monster suspended in ice. Though he revives the creature, Frankenstein must seek the help of hypnotist Zoltan to repair its mind. Zoltan then assumes control of the monster, using him to wreak havoc. But when Frankenstein tries to regain power over his creation, he becomes Zoltan’s next target.

Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:

How long does it take a human to cool to the touch after death?
What percentage of people have disabling hearing loss?
How long can a person survive encased in ice?
How common are blue eyes in people?
Greg makes many references to the Rankin/Bass Christmas special “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town”.
