Frankenweenie Character Gallery

By Carey Bryson, About.com Guide

Edgar "E" Gore (voice of Atticus Shaffer) is a manipulative and agitated little misfit in the Tim Burton movie Frankenweenie. When "E" finds out about Victor's secret, he forces Victor to give him scientific secrets that result in unintended consequences.

"E" Gore's name is of course a reference to the hunchbacked lab assistant character that has become popular in many films and parodies. The character originated from the lab assistant in the original Frankenstein movie, though that assistant's name was Fritz. The name Igor became attached to the stereotype through subsequent Frankenstein movies and other horror films.
