This adorable shirt, as you’ve probably noticed, is printed with glow-in-the-dark ink. You probably also noticed it makes the pirate ghost look like it used too much lipstick, but don’t focus on that. Instead, let’s discuss the Frankenstein’s Monster ghost.

The very concept of a Frankenstein’s Monster ghost calls into question everything we know about souls. Frankenstein’s Monster, as you may recall, was made from assembling the leftovers of dozens of strangers, like a cheap PC or meat loaf from a diner. To have a single ghost arise from that implies that the soul is a thing that can be designed by man. For should not the soul appear as the original owner of the brain, or the leg, or wherever the soul was housed? The idea that a Frankenstein’s Monster could have a personal ghost that looks like the sewn-together body calls into question every theory of the afterlife which every religion in the world has put forth. And that’s a pretty impressive thing for a Halloween shirt to accomplish.

Also now you’ve got something to discuss around the punchbowl at the Philosophy of Religion party.
