VOTE YOUR MONSTER! Arnold Schwarzenegger would be perfect as . . .

Seeing this image of Arnold, it suddenly struck me that he has the perfect bone structure (and eyes) for Frankenstein. What do you think? Vote:

Of those, Arnold has the size for Frankenstein. Possibly Mr. Hyde.

Of course, I'd picture Arnold more as the guy going to fight these monsters, not the monster itself. "Phantom, you are a little girly man. I'm going to kill you now you opra loving girly man."

There's no option for Frankenstein's Monster so I didn't vote.

Well, that was my initial reaction, but I supsect that the OP was going for that with just Frankenstein, so I went that way . . .

Better than DeNiro anyway . . .

Well I confess I experienced some anxiety over choosing
a) FRANKENSTEIN, or
b) FRANKENSTEIN _and_ BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN

True, it would take a makeup genius to endow Arnold with Elsa Lancaster's large orbs (her eyes, I mean, tsk this forum!). You'd want those big eyes. I do think the face powder would take, and possibly lipstick. They'd need to give him a chin dimple.

It would be a challenge to get him to be able to do that head-jerk thing quickly. With his neck. I mean.

But Arnold with that do.
I confess it haunts me.

Arnold should be the guy killing all those guys, armed with a VERY big gun.

The "which monster should Arnold be" thread required a bump?

I've always though that the part of Marvin the Paranoid Android would be wonderful if voiced by Arnold.

The Haunted House movie I vote for is "House"...oh wait, is that a non-snapper, open matte, latte, half-calf with cream, not in original aspect ratio?!

I voted for "The Invisible Man": (1) because the less we see of him, the better and (2) he's OK with film nudity.
