Charles Phoenix’s Slide of the Week: Frankenstein, Pasadena, CA 1965
By Charles Phoenix - Friday October 26th 2007

Frankenstein, Pasadena, CA 1965
Can you believe those beautiful honey blond closet doors? They have no doorknobs!
This slide was clearly marked ‘Pasadena, 1965.’ OK fine. But what I want to know is where in Pasadena in 1965 do you find Goth shoes? They don’t have Goth shops in Pasadena in 1965. Finally I figured it out. Frankenstein had to go to one of those shops that you go to if you have one leg longer than the other!
Wishing you the best Trick-or-Treating EVER!!!!
Happy Halloween!

This looks more like Herman Munster from The Munsters since he’s wearing the platform shoes. I think the Munsters came out in 1965, or the year before.
