Few things are worse than the thought of someone tampering with a departed loved one's grave.
Countless letters to the editor have been written by grieving people because hooligans have stolen flowers, trampled on or generally defaced the tombstone of a departed loved one. Countless movies have been produced based loosely on her novel. Some less than intelligent assistant usually named Igor digs up and robs new graves to create the monster. The idea that a person's body parts would actually be used to make a monster is unthinkable in the real world, or at least it should be. I have actually seen two of Witkin's NEA supported photographs.
