On Random Movie Related Thoughts

I've been in a rather nit-picky observatory mood this year when it comes to horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and noir movies, and have been recording some of my more amusing thoughts on them. I now subject you to them.

Frankenstein (any and all versions)

-Why does the topic of smell never come up given what the monster is made of especially given the fact that it's basically been fried to bring it to life? There has to be some sort of odor!

Labyrinth (1986)

-In regard to the Bog of Eternal Stench, why doesn't stepping on the rocks make them smell? Those rocks clearly came up from the blog all covered in goo and, therefore, should be just as smelly.

-Why does the dad ask if she's home at the end? Did they expect her to run away because she was so upset? Isn't it night time?

The Two Mrs. Carrolls (1947)

-If you're not a child in an old movie, you really should avoid milk. Especially if it's glowing. (This builds on thoughts in relation to Hitchcock's Suspicion, in which he intentionally made the milk glow.) 

Earth vs. the Spider (1958)

-If the spider has to break down the wall to get out of the gym/auditorium, how in the world did they get it in there in the first place? 

-Yet another example of a giant bug/insect/arachnid movie in which the creature can miraculously move about stealthily without creating any air current and therefore sneak up on everyone before they can run. 

The Thing That Couldn't Die (1958) (Semi-spoilers in this one, although it's pretty predictable) 

-Soooo many oddities in plot of this B movie. 

-The hundreds of years old talisman is wearable, but the chest has to be guarded from theft? And given that there were only a few people who knew about the chest in the first place, what merited the need for it to be locked up in a room and guarded by not one, but TWO people?

-If you found a head in a chest wouldn't you just close it?

-Given the purpose and value of the talisman, how and why did it end up at the base of the tree? Also, very convenient finding it the same time as the chest after all those years.

Invisible Ghost (1941)

-How terribly sad to be "Attractive Blonde" in a news article describing one's death rather than to be described by profession or by name.  

Dracula (1931)

-Why are there armadillos!?! Are they just running around the house? Could they not get rats for the scene? Isn't it too cold for them?

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931)

 -What is boiling in the pot that's in the fireplace? Why isn't anyone concerned about the fact that it keeps bubbling over? Clearly it must have something that either doesn't evaporate or is important enough that keeps getting refilled since it's in multiple scenes.
