The Munster or the Moldovian?

Choose the form Friends and Neighbors!

So there I was, reading on Facebook, when I saw the most amazing thing that I had seen in a while.  Famed director Drew Daywalt posted his latest home decor - a fantastic canvas painting of Grandpa Munster!  Immediately my mouth salivated - it was awesome!  I announced that that was the sort of thing I wanted to get for my media room. 

Now, as of last year I have of course made some major changes in my life.  Mrs. Bat has some direct say as to the decor of ol Starbase 523.  Marriage does that.  So, of course, her input is welcomed and solicited.  Well, I am here to tell you- she did not care much for the Grandpa Munster painting.  Foiled?  Maybe... maybe not.

Now it is not that she does not like Grandpa Munster.  While it is true that she does not care for the gory horror genre, she recognizes that the Munsters is as far from horror as Harry Potter's spells are Latin.  But she still does not think that this is the proper painting to have in the house. 

So I immediately offered a counter proposition.  You see, we most certainly are open to compromise - that is the hallmark of any good relationship.  So I said "If you don't like Grandpa, that is fine.  I then choose Vigo!"  This was met with a defiant no as well.  However, there is room to discuss.  As Froggy said it to his concubine - "this is the type of marriage I want, when Mr. and Mrs. Bat argue it is never about mean hard core stuff - it is about geeky stuff like this."  He is right.

So I am faced with the dilemma.  Which would be better... the Munster or the Moldovian?  I mean on one hand you have the Scourge of Carpathia, Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Unholy, Vigo the Butch! On a mountain of skulls in the castle of pain, he sat on a throne of blood!  But then on the other hand you have Grandpa Munster.   Al Lewis' favorite and most beloved role.  The driver of the dragula itself! 

So, I come to you Friends and Neighbors.  Which one would you choose to have in your home?  Maybe I am overlooking a more legendary portrait?   Get back to me on this.

As always,

Be Excellent to Each Other,

~BAT
