Is He Dr. Dreamdate? Congratulations, Andie Reynolds! You know why the local kids call your neighbor Dr. Frankenstein. He never emerges from his big old house and spends most of his time concocting explosive experiments. When you went to visit, you half expected to be greeted by a mad scientist. Instead, you found yourself gazing at a pint-size version of the good doctor himself. And what a good-looking doctor, too! It's hard to resist Eli Masters and his adorable little boy, but resist you must. They will only lead to heart trouble—the kind no medicine can cure….

Explore the human body from the inside-out in this anatomical adventure book.

Kenneth Strickfaden, innovative genius of illusionary special effects from silent films to the age of television, set the standard for Hollywood's mad scientists. Strickfaden created the science fiction apparatus in more than 100 motion picture films and television programs, from 1931's Frankenstein to the Wizard of Oz and The Mask of Fu Manchu to television's The Munsters. The skilled technician, known around Hollywood's back lots as "Mr. Electric," once doubled for Boris Karloff in a dangerous scene and was nearly electrocuted. From his birth in 1896 to his death in 1984, Strickfaden's life was filled with adventure. He spent his early years working the amusement parks on both coasts, served overseas as a Marine during World War I, took a 1919 cross-country trip in a dilapidated Model T, and favored risky pursuits like automobile and speedboat racing. He worked as an aeronautical mechanic, constructing airplanes for an historic around-the-world flight. A science teacher at heart, he gave 1,500 traveling science demonstration lectures across the U.S. and Canada. Besides covering Strickfaden's entire personal and professional life, this book discusses how later films show his influence. It reveals the fate of his collection of equipment, and is richly illustrated with numerous rare and previously unpublished photographs. Appendices provide a selection of notes, doodles, and scribbles from Strickfaden's notebooks, informal sketches, correspondence, documents, a chronology of his film and television contributions, a bibliography, a film index, and a complete subject index.

Victoria's experiments lead her to very brink of human knowledge, the secret of life itself.
