Why is it that people ran away from the Mummy and Frankenstein when they could only move about a foot every 15 seconds?

kraft- As I am sure you have been losing sleep over this, I will put this(and you) to rest once and for all. If someone who hadn't bathed in 2000 years, or someone with a bolt through their neck whose only purpose was to mate, came after you even at a speed of 4 feet per minute, would you walk or run away? Now go to sleep and stop fantasizing about Boris Karloff!
LOL! good question. But stusi answered it pretty good.
But you both missed this
It wasn't Frankenstein they were running from, he was the Dr., it was Frankensteins Monster they ran away from, even when he could only move a foot every 15 seconds

Hi stusi & Near.
So what you're saying is they both had cooties??
Sorry about the misinformation Near. You're right... it was Dr. Frankenstein's monster. So Frankenstein's monster's goal was to mate? If he ended up catching anyone then the girls must've been sleazy.
Well, what about Godzilla? How come he was always in the middle of downtown? If he was such a threat, why weren't there any warning systems in place?

KD, may I join you in asking a "why" question? Good, I thought so
Why do they go in spooky places that are dark, and there is never a light switch that works? Maybe they KNOW they can run from Franky and Mummy, because they walk (lurch) so slow, even if it IS dark and spooky?

Thanks for exposing that tidbit Hepburn. It is rather strange. Or when it's completely dark like you say, and they hear bad noises, their flashlight runs out.
When I think of it, those living dead people weren't very fast either but somehow managed to fill their need for live brain.

Heres a WHY that drives me bonkers:
WHY do women ALWAYS FALL DOWN when they are running? Huh? WHY? Never the man. Just the WOMAN. Maybe its because she has high heels on while traipsing thru jungles or caves or sandy dark spooky beaches or rotten holey floorboards. Oh yes, she MUST have the high heels on. Just so she can FALL. <rolleye>
edited to move sigline down further.

LOL that commercial drives me nuts, so nuts, that everytime my brother calls, thats all I say to him... "Can you hear me now" over and over, till he hangs up on me, or says "yes" then I'll talk to him

I HATE that commercial more than anything. Figured if I used it as my sigline, I would get numb and not hate it anymore.
Off topic a sec..but another commercial I HATE with a PASSION is Burgerkings. The guy walking around the store eating an onion burger with his lips all red and slimey and POOCHED as he eats, then guzzles some mouth wash. Watching him eat makes me wanna BARF.
Can you hear me now?.....GOOD!....can you hear me now?.....GOOD!

I've never seen that one..... yet anyway!
But now the cell phone guy has the WEB on the phone, and just walks around and goes "Good" to himself... I kinda like the Sprint cell commercial, with the guy in black, now a couple of those are cute.

That's what I meant about having FM or the Mummy chasing you Hepburn. The Mummy's about 3 blocks away and the women always trip and fall down screaming. Are they stuck in potholes?
Running down the middle of the road makes no sense either Near. Remember 'The Streets of San Fransisco'? There were always high speed chases in underground parking lots that were full of cars to hide behind. The bad guy would always stand at one end while a fast car came around the corner on the other end. The bad guy would freeze for some reason, then 15 minutes later he got hit.

More pet peeves:
Why do the bad guys always squeal tires on dirt roads?
Why do the bad guys chase Magnum on Magnum PI in an old P/U truck or Lincoln town car and continually smash into the back bumper of the Ferrari. No wonder Higgins gets upset.
Some things are just required. For instance a new movie "Dog Soldiers" has a group of British rookies running around in Scotland where they are attacked by werewolves. They retreat to a farmhouse (Of course said wwolves are the family that lives there). But the rulebook says you have to board up the windows with 1/4 thick boards spaced 2 inches apart and then STAND WITH YOUR BACK to them while you listen to the howls outside.

Women have come a long way over the years
of film.At least when they are running and falling,They are moving. Before that they all fainted.Bad guy comes in the room,the
woman sees him..... across the room and faints,right in the arms of the bad guy.
Cigerettes changed all that.
