AFAIK there's a Frankenstein parody where the scientist's assistant is called Igor ("Prankenstein" ??? or perhaps "Frankenstein's son"?), and where you scare the horses by calling the landlady's name (Blücher!!!)Wednesday, January 24 2007 @ 01:20 AM PST

I think that originally stood for : Interactive Graphic...something. But really Igor is the prototypical (mad) scientist helper... as in:IGOR: Dr. Frankenstein
FREDDY: No, it's pronounced Fron kon steen.
FREDDY: You must be Igor.
IGOR: No, it's pronounced Aye gor.
