Every time I think of this movie I laugh so hard I cry. Everyone needs to see this at least once. Best lines:  “Put the candle back” “What did you get from the monster?” “Taffeta, darling, taffeta (a line left out of the Broadway play)”

When Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, a neurosurgeon, inherits his grandfather's castle in Transylvania, he discovers a funny hunchback and a pretty lab assistant who help him recreate his grandfather's infamous experiment - reanimating the dead. With their assistance, Frederick successfully brings the creature to life but it soon escapes and causes chaos in the countryside.
