Soon, all the monsters will be hot.

Well, vampires have been hot for a while now. So have aliens. Then werewolves got sexy. None of those is really all that surprising. Sure they're threatening figures, but the body horror element is not in your face the whole time they're on the screen. But then zombies got hot. Now we've got a hot Frankenstein's monster. There seems to be some sort of a trend at work here. Playful stretching of the qualifications for what's hot (at least three of these dudes are technically room temperature) might not be a bad thing. Maybe we'll get a hot evil robot next, or a hot ghost?
