Frankenstein Friday is celebrated on the last Friday of October. This holiday was created in 1997 by Ron MacCloskey. Mclosky hails from Westfield, New Jersey which is also the hometown of Charles Addams, the New York Times magazine cartoonist who created The Addams Family.
This holiday celebrates the “birth” of Frankenstein in 1818, when author Mary Shelley wrote the story “Frankenstein.” Neither Shelley nor Frankenstein were born in October, so I assume that the holidays was created to coincide with Halloween. (Source)
