After thinking about it, i really don't see how certain aspects of the stereotypical "All movie Monsters know each other" trope works, but not the way that might have sounded.

For one thing, they keep treating Mummies like they're some sort of supernatural creature. But, when it comes down to it, they're basically just Egyptian zombies, yet they're constantly treated as being separate from them (they're made more intelligent for example).

For another thing, in addition to forgetting that it's "Frankenstein's Monster" not Frankenstein, people also seem to forget that the monster was one of a kind and therefore there would not be any more of him, and the product of artificial creation not supernatural forces

And finally, while it's easier to swallow that Vampires and Werewolves would be in Transylvania (I suppose even witches could get there), the other monsters wouldn't be anywhere near there. Frankenstein's monster was from elsewhere in Europe and Mummies are from miles away in the African area
Just had to get that out
