If You Haven't Read 'Frankenstein,' Just Watch 'Frankenhooker'
by Krystal Languell
There are hundreds of film adaptations of Frankenstein, and the translation to film requires some elements to be altered. Perhaps the most gleefully bastardized of them is Frankenhooker. Bill Murray blurbed the film; his comment appears on the video cover: “If you see one movie this year, it should be Frankenhooker.”

This is going to be my last post for a while, so I’ll be adding no reminders about the watch party on Saturday. If you need a reminder, click on the “interested” option in the app to get a notification/reminder.
@Apocryphiliac Thanks for the reminder! I went ahead and set up an event on my computer calendar so i wouldn't forget! 🙂
@ChillySnowgirl Thanks for coming, hope you will join us again! This Saturday will be Christmas horror movies!
@Apocryphiliac Nice! What ones would that be? Do you do the Tales From The Crypt christmas episode? I always watch that one every year. 😊
@ChillySnowgirl I don't know if I've ever seen that one, but I probably have... The old Amicus (iirc) TFTC movie had a Christmas segment with a killer santa that was pretty cool. reminds me a lot of Silent Night, Deadly Night.
I haven't totally settled on what we're watching on which of the next two weeks, but for sure:
-Rare Exports
-Blood Beat
-Silent Night, Deadly Night
Also up for consideration:
-Black Christmas
-Christmas Bloody Christmas
-Christmas Evil
-Dial Code Santa Clause
& others...
@Apocryphiliac It's actually the first episode of the series! Here's a link:
