Frankenstein Takes Manhattan!
August 2, 2025
The Transylvanian terror, the hallmark of horror, the freak of nature itself... in the Big Apple! The monster of all monsters and his mad scientist creator, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, find themselves surround by the concrete jungle, sewer grates, and Times Square Jumbotron. What happens when Dr. Frankenstein’s monster escapes in the streets of New York City? Maybe this scientist can save the day! Or, maybe he's just doomed the entire world...
