I'd gladly do it for you, but I won't be able to touch it until tonight.  Can you attach the font that you used?

i didnt use a font sadly i couldnt find a good one i used a picture off a frankenstein poster ill attact that as well as you can see i made the M and moved the other letters to work it looked good small but when i made it the 23 x 7 size it looked bad

Hmmm... working from that poster isn't going to yield very good results at all.  You would need to find artwork this is larger than your marquee in order to get good results.  Either that or find the Frankstein logo as vector art.  Not sure how likely that is.

Otherwise I would absolutely recommend working from a font and not an image for the "FrankMame" word.  I searched for the authentic Frankenstein font, but I couldn't find it.  Here are a few alternatives...

I suppose that I should have just given you all of the font names.  :)

In order, they are:

1) Matter of Fact (MATTEROFFACT)
2) Francis
3) Green Fuz
4) Zombie Holocaust Regular

Cheers!
