Frederick Frankenstein, a young American surgeon, has inherited a castle in Transylvania from his grandfather Victor, the famous scientist who had given life to inanimate tissues, creating a monster.
 Together with a humpback, an attractive assistant and the old housekeeper, the grandson successfully repeats the experiment, after finding his grandfather’s books and notes.
 However, something goes wrong and the creature turns out to be a dangerous monster. The final dramatic turns of events are surprising and funny.
 From Mel Brooks’ exhilarating film masterpiece, a comical parody of the gothic and horror genre.
