Cinematic Titanic — Season 1, Episode 6: Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks
Comedy • 90 min • 1 season, 13 episodes
Episode synopsis
Things get a bit randy in this updated version of Mary Shelley's immortal classic about er... ah... um... immortality. Why can't Dr. Frankenstein get a break? Just as our resident mad scientist is about to bring his creature back to life, he is forced to use a sub-standard brain and - you guessed it - everything runs amok. Along the way, we meet Ook and Goliath, two club-thumping Neanderthals; Genz, a revenge-obsessed dwarf; Maria and Krista, two dead-sexy biology students back from college; and Kreegin, the hunch-backed cook who has more than a passing resemblance to Abe Vigoda. The Cinematic Titanic crew, originators of movie riffing, are brought in for this, their sixth feature, and offer more hilarious commentary as they set their sights on a Frankenstein's castle chock full of angry villagers, grave robbers, and skinny dippers.
About Cinematic Titanic
Cinematic Titanic is a project by Mystery Science Theater 3000 creator and original host Joel Hodgson. The project involves "riffing" B-movies, in a manner similar to that of MST3K. Joining Hodgson are many of the earlier show's collaborators, including Trace Beaulieu, J. Elvis Weinstein, Frank Conniff, and Mary Jo Pehl. It was first performed live on December 7, 2007 and first aired on December 22, 2007. On February 16, 2013, it was announced that the touring portion of Cinematic Titanic was going on an indefinite hiatus. According to an email sent out to members of the site, due to "5 people living in 5 different cities with different lives and projects, it has become increasingly difficult to coordinate our schedules and give Cinematic Titanic the attention it requires to keep growing as a creative enterprise and a business." The final tour began on September 23, 2013.
