Frankenhooker is a 1990 American black comedy horror film co-written and directed by Frank Henenlotter. The film is an homage to and parody of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein, and stars James Lorinz and former Penthouse Pet Patty Mullen. After his fiancée is decapitated by a lawnmower, medical school dropout Jeffrey Franken attempts to resurrect her by assembling the body parts of prostitutes, unwittingly creating a nymphomaniacal monster.
