Building a human from parts doesn't sound like much
fun to me unless the parts come from super-models. Oh yeah, sexy and
does what I tell her to. Hey, what are you doing? Wait, stop, Ahhhhh!!!!!
This is a list of movies about Frankenstein's monster. |

Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest |
A young man named Edward was created by an inventor who died before he could give the poor
creature a pair of human hands. Edward lives alone in a ruined Gothic castle that just happens to be perched
above a pastel-colored suburb inhabited by breadwinning husbands and frustrated housewives straight out of the
1950s. One day, Peg, the local Avon lady, comes calling. Finding Edward alone, she kindly invites him to come
home with her, where she hopes to help him with his pasty complexion and those nasty nicks he's given himself with
his razor-sharp fingers. Soon Edward's skill with topiary sculpture and hair design make him popular in the
neighborhood--but the mood turns just as swiftly against the outsider when he starts to feel his own desires,
particularly for Peg's daughter Kim. |

Frankenstein (75th Anniversary Edition) (1931)
Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, Mae Clarke, John Boles, Edward Van Sloan |
"It's alive! Alive!" shouts Colin Clive's
triumphant Dr. Frankenstein as electricity buzzes over the
hulking body of a revived corpse. "In the name of God now I
know what it's like to be God!" For years unheard, this line
has been restored, along with the legendary scene of the
childlike monster tossing a little girl into a lake, in
James Whale's Frankenstein, one of the most famous and
influential horror movies ever made. Boris Karloff and
makeup designer Jack Pierce created the most
memorable monster in movie history: a towering, lumbering creature with sunken eyes, a flat head, and a jagged
scar running down his forehead. Karloff made this mute, misunderstood brute, who has the brain of a
madman, the most pitiable freak of nature to
stumble across the screen. |

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)
Kenneth Branagh, Robert De Niro |
True to the original, here is the story of a young doctor whose obsession with death leads him
to create a life. But his "creature" crafted from the bodies of convicts and the brain of a brilliant scientist,
is a hideous mockery of humanity. And when the creature realizes he will never be accepted by men, he seeks
revenge on Dr. Frankenstein and his family. An inspired adaptation that's emotionally complex and truly terrifying. |

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick |
For the uninitiated, "Rocky Horror" tells the story of two clean-cut American youths, uptight
Brad Majors and Janet Weiss whose car breaks down on a dark, deserted road in the middle of a storm--the classic
beginning to many horror movies--and who seek help at a nearby castle. Castles, as Rocky fans know, don't have
phones! What this castle has instead is a cross-dressing mad scientist Frank-N-Furter, two very creepy servants,
Riff-Raff and Magenta, and various other hangers-on, including lovers Columbia and biker Eddie. Brad and Janet
walk in on a party celebrating the creation of Frank-N-Furter's muscle-bound boy-toy "Rocky." Bed-hopping chaos
soon ensues, until the servants reveal their true identities and take control. |

Young Frankenstein (1974)
Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn |
Mel Brooks' monstrously crazy tribute to Mary Shelley's classic pokes hilarious fun at just
about every Frankenstein movie ever made. Summoned by a will to his late grandfather's castle in Transylvania
young Dr. Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) soon discovers the scientist's step-by-step manual explaining how to bring a
corpse to life. Assisted by the hunchback Igor (Marty Feldman) and the curvaceous Ings (Teri Garr) he creates a
monster (Peter Boyle) who only wants to be loved. |
