Synopsis for "The Classic Monster!"

The neuroscience student recovers the body of the creature from the police and returns with it to his mentor. He shows the older scientist, who reveals that he is dying of cancer, how he can rouse the creature by applying enough electricity to its brain to return it to normal body temperature. The creature's brain has suffered damage, so the student gasses his mentor and transfers the older man's brain into the creature. The monster revives and flies into a rage. Before he strangles his student he demands to know if he was really so stupid as to believe that he would want to live out the rest of his life in the body of a monster. He resolves to repair the damage to the monster's brain and find a more suitable body to transfer his brain into.

Synopsis for "A Monster Reborn!"

An aging Rabbi Samuel Grellmann gives a service to a small congregation on the start of the jewish sabbath. When he's finished he makes a comment to a member of his faith about how the old ways are dying and that soon no one will come to hear him speak and that he perhaps should have perished long ago. Aaron a member of the congregation takes it upon himself to try and revitalize the numbers of the synagogue. He starts by looking through ancient tomes in the Rabbi's study. There he finds the Kabbalah and learns about the creation of golems. He takes this knowledge and plans to use it so he sneaks into the night and arrives at a police morgue where he steals some body parts for the golem's creation. He returns and puts together the body of the golem and marks his forehead with "YHVH" the code for the unspeakable name of god.

When the Rabbi next returns Aaron excitedly tells him how packed the temple is and when he shows the Rabbi he can scarcely believe it. Rabbi Grellman walks to the front of the large crowed seated and prepares to start the service when he notices the entire congregation is marked with "YHVH". At first he's stricken with fear but then relaxes and comes to the realization that these creatures were created by god as well. So the Rabbi pulls out his scrolls and begins service.
