I Was a Teenage Frankenstein
Body of a boy! Mind of a monster! Soul of an unearthly thing!
A B-movie horror-sci-fi about a mad scientist's teenage creation that grapples with existential dread and bodily violation, filtered through 1950s camp sensibility.
Professor Frankenstein creates a teenager from an accident victim, who gets angry when he learns he is going to be taken apart.
