frankensteins grave

frankensteins grave by Jane Diamond.
My favorite grave (for obvious reasons - i love the original frankenstein movies) at the jewish graceland cemetery in chicago

this photograph was chosen in the Explore / Interestingness / section in April 2007

one of my favorite bands, Skinny Puppy, did a photo shoot back in the 90's with this particular grave in the background. inspired by their photo, and being such a huge fan of Puppy, some friends and i did a similar photo to theirs - perhaps i will upload both pics in the future so you can see the comparison between the two. that was a fun shoot!

A couple months ago, I was approached by one of the on-line editors of schmap .com about this photo. It can now be found found on iPhone and iPod touch. My photo of the Frankenstein grave is on the iPhone version.You can check it out here if you like to see what it looks like on the phone: at: www.schmap.com/?m=iphone#uid=chicago&sid=sights_attra...

*** My photo can be found via that link on the upper left hand side of the phone ***

Why thank you Feral Indeed!
As a fan of the original Frankenstein films, you can see the appeal this particular grave has to me.

thank you ohcharlesdavid and Deltasly for your comments!
it was due to the pic of Skinny Puppy that i initally found this particular grave. it is such a great find! one time i even left a cute little stuffed frankenstein doll there. Oh and if you haven't seen it, speaking of Puppy, there is a pic of Ogre and i here in my 'all about me' pool if interested in checking it out.

Okay, how did I miss this one there! This is too cool! I may have read about it, is this the one with the little stone that says "Papa" next to it? I thought that was in Rosehill? Great picture, thank you for sharing!

For those that didn't see my comment in Jane's Skinny Puppy ode shot, if you move back a few feet, you'll see Wolf buried very near to Frankenstein here, which is terribly amusing. :) I love tis grave, too. :)
