Frankenstein has influence many people, places and things such as the arts, music, and movies.  What is most interesting to me is how it played a part in different types of horror music. Many directors used orchestras to highlight suspenseful scenes in movies.  Frankenstein also influenced Eddie Van Halen who built a guitar using many discarded parts from other guitars.  The prefix Franken can mean anything assembled haphazardly from originally disparate elements.  Van Halen called his guitar "Frankenstrat."
