Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Frankie Stein, who lived with his parents in a bog by a Frankenstein's Castle. It was a pretty nasty place, but he was happy because monsters like nasty. On his 17th birthday, the teenage monster and his parents sat down to talk, just as all monster parents had for hundreds of years before, telling him about he was ready to take his own way, warning him that because of his looks, humans will hate him. Ahh, I know it’s sad, very sad, but ogres are used to that – the hardships, the indignities. And so the young ogre went on his way and found a perfectly rancid isle far away from civilization. And whenever a mob came along to attack him he knew exactly what to do, scaring them away. Meanwhile, there was an princess who had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by true love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but non prevailed. She waited in the dragon's keep in the highest room of the tallest tower for her true love and true love's first kiss.
