Plenty of Headroom

So maybe I relate to this one a little bit. Not just because I drive a Corolla and am tall, but also because I like Frankenstein.

Okay... okay, Frankenstein's Monster. That's how you can tell when someone has nothing to bring to a conversation, when they say, "You mean Frankenstein's monster? Frankenstein is the scientist."

Real ones know the scientist is the monster.

Regardless, man, I love those old world production values at the beginning of this commercial. You can love modern and old-world at the same time, and man, I do love those old haunted castles and the way they filmed them on older film stock.

Absolute peak cinema... and a pretty good car to have.

Harmony Gold's Frankenstein

Harmony Gold, yes THAT Harmony Gold, whom you probably know better from making Robotech from various anime (Macross, Mospeada, Southern Cross, the occasional KFC commercial) and all the assorted stories that's gone with it since. Yes, that Harmony Gold at some point dubbed 'Kyōfu Densetsu Kaiki! Frankenstein' a production by Toei into what's commonly referred to as 'The Monster of Frankenstein' or 'Frankenstein Legend of Terror'. It's called two different names because they didn't actually name it anything, but it was advertised as one or the other. Yep.

Frankenstein and all the other cool kids come out to play on Halloween. Though I'm going to go ahead and give full disclosure. This is a pretty depressing movie intended for more mature viewers. It contains themes of suicide and religion, so be advised if those are things you might be sensitive about.
