     I'm not sure about this. Everyone knows who Freud is, and his celebrity 
value is part of the fun. Perhaps it's just that I don't know enough about 
famous psychologists, but I can't picture any posse screaming "Oh no! We're 
being attacked by the malevolent walking corpse of E.B. TITCHNER!!!" when 
they discover the identity of their adversary.

     An undead B.F. Skinner might make a fun adversary, but I'm not sure 
whether he'd fit into the timeline (perhaps for BNW). Of course, there's 
always good ol' Pavlov and his trained dogs.
