Tales of Frankenstein

About the movie

Four stories from the writer/director's published book of the same title are presented. 1) "My Creation, My Beloved": Gregore Frankenstein uses his skills to implant the brain of his beloved pen pal Irma into the body of a gorgeous young woman he has assembled. She is awakened and promptly kills him. This is so she can return the favor placing his brain in a young man's body. They can now be young lovers. 2) "Crawler from the Grave": Helmut Frankenstein's neighbor, Vincent, covets his large ruby ring. After Helmut's death, Vincent digs up the grave to snatch it. He cuts off the arm so he can remove it more easily. But the hand he cut off comes to life and pursues him. 3). "Madhouse of Death": P.I. Jack Anvil's car breaks down. He hikes to the nearest house where he meets Dr. Mortality and a bevy of shapely maidens. A drugged cup of tea allows Mortality to transplant Anvil's brain into his gorilla, Gigantus. 4) "Dr. Karnstein's Creation": Karnstein recruits a Transylvanian helper to construct a new creature, planning to ultimately use his assistant's brain in the final assemblage. But some body parts are from a vampire and the moon is full.—Garon Smith
