Chapter 9 of the Frankenstein Cultural History discusses Hammer and the camp versions such as Munsters, Young Frankenstein, Rocky Horror, and cartoons. The only thing I've not seen was "Frankenstein meets the Space Monster" which inadvertently started the camp trend. I was confused by her assertion at the end of the chapter about Alice Cooper "disappeared from the music scene for more than a decade after his 1971 hit record Love it to Death". This just isn't so. I'm not familiar enough to know if he stopped doing his infamous concerts for a time, but he released an album at least every second year for that entire period.
