When will this present darkness be a movie?
In all honesty, I am praying that there will be a Beautiful Darkness movie! But they will have to seriously alter the storyline to make it happen! Which makes me a little apprehensive about it if they do decide to make it. I mean, in the movie Lena already Claimed herself for both the Light and Dark, and that doesn't happen until the Seventeenth Moon at the end of Beautiful Darkness. So how are they going to come up with a new storyline for that? Also, Larkin wasn't Dark in the movie, yet he is way past the point of "coming out" in Beautiful Darkness; he even dies along with Twyla in Beautiful Darkness as involuntary sacrifice from either side for when Lena Claimed herself as Light and Dark. So, if they do make a Beautiful Darkness movie, I hope they think real long and hard about how they are going to do it...

Who created the story of Dracula?
The legend of the vampire ´Count Dracula´ originated in Bram Stoker's 1897 horror novel "Dracula", but he was inspired by a real person.
This real person was called Vlad III, Vlad Țepeș or Vlad Drăculea. He was born in 1431. It is most likely that he was born in Sighisoara, Transylvania, but it is also possible that he was born in Nuremberg because his father, Vlad II. Dracul, often went there at that time, where joined Sigismund II of Luxembourg's Order of the Dragon. It is possible that his pregnant wife, Princess Cneajna of Moldavia, accompanished him. Vlad III himself is said to have joined the order at the age of 5.
Being a member in this order, Vlad II got the name ´Dracul´, which is most likely to come from the Latin word ´drago´ (dragon). His son got the name
´Drăculea´, which means "son of the dragon".
Vlad II Dracul gave Vlad III and his brother Radu, his two youngest sons, to the Ottoman Sultan Murad II, who imprisoned them at Egrigöz fortress. These years had a huge influence on Vlad III's personality; for example, he made his first real experience with violence there.
In 1447, Vlad II Dracul was murdered.
Vlad Drăculea led many fights against the Ottoman Empire. He got the name ´Țepeș´, which means "impaler", because of his gruesome strategy: He impaled thousands of people. Most of them were enemies, but he also killed some of his own people this way.
Vlad III died at the end of 1476 during a fight against the Ottomans. It is most likely that he was beheaded by one of his own soldiers. He is said to be buried in Snagov, but scientists have not found his grave yet.
What country was Victor Frankenstein born in?
Read the book!
Victor Frankenstein is not a doctor.
He was born and raised in Geneva Switzerland.

Does the Ellen Rimbauer mansion still stand?
There is no Ellen Rimbauer mansion. Ellen Rimbauer is a fictional character from Stephen King's Rose Red. She is not a real person, and never was a real person.
The Winchester Mansion in California is the real life mansion that gave Stephen King the idea. Sarah Winchester's husband invented the Winchester rifle; Sarah became convinced that the ghosts of the people killed by her husband's gun were haunting her, and would not stop haunting her unless she built a great big house for them. She believed that as long as she continued building the mansion, the ghosts would let her live. Since the "ghosts" told her how to build the house, it was constructed using some very kooky building plans. It has staircases that lead to nowhere, shelves that are 11 inches deep and therefore useless, another staircase that is nine feet high with steps two inches high, and many other oddities. See the Related Link below for more information about the Winchester Mystery House, as it is called.
And yes, the Winchester Mystery House is still standing.
Who is the master of horror stories?
If you mean old school horror then that would probably be Edgar Allen Poe. If you mean modern writers then that would more likely be Stephen King.

What did Walton and the crew see in the novel Frankenstein?
Walton does develop great affection for Frankenstein. but one of brotherly love. Frankenstein poses as a gift to Walton from god in the sense that Frankenstein helps Walton realise that his obsession with discovering the magnetic north pole, shouldn't be something to take over his life and cloud his sense of rationality. i believe that Walton develops a feeling of gratitude towards Frankenstein for giving him insight to the place where he possibly could have ended up if he let himself be a slave to his passions.
Why was the creature anxious to learn how to talk In Mary Shelly Frankenstein?
He really wanted to communicate with the DeLacey family (the cottagers he was watching and helping).
Which Shakespeare play has the phrase 'he hath eaten me out of house and home'?
This is an incorrect quotation. The words "you" and "me" are not interchangeable, as you can clearly see in the sentence "I would like to see my wages paid to you." as opposed to "I would like to see my wages paid to me."
The correct quotation appears in Henry IV Part 2, Act 2, Scene 1. Hostess Quickly comments "He hath eaten me out of house and home, he hath put all my substance into that fat belly of his: but I will have some of it out again, or I will ride thee a-nights like the mare." She is referring, of course, to Falstaff.
In the book it seems unlikely, although the three female vampires have been referred to as Dracula's "brides".
However, the the 1922 film of Dracula, the storyline was changed. Dracula had a wife Elizabeta, who killed herself after being informed wrongly that Dracula had been killed. Mina Harker is shown to be the reincarnation of Elizabeta in this adaptation.
