Frankenstein baby born on Halloween
Frankenstein wasn't the monster or the scientist this Halloween. He was a new arrival at Florida's Winter Park Memorial Hospital.
On Tuesday, Kyle and Jessica Frankenstein announced the birth of their son Oskar, The Associated Press reported. Oskar was expected four days earlier, making his Halloween birthday especially spooky.
This is the first Halloween birthday for the Frankensteins, though the family's older daughter does share a birthday with Frankenstein author Mary Shelley. Perhaps the Frankenstein franchise needs another sequel?
