Frankenhooker
- Thursday, Oct 2, 2025, 7:30pm
Screening location: Here-After (21+) – alley entrance, 2505 1st Ave, Seattle
WANNA DATE? 35th anniversary screening of a Grand Illusion favorite.
After making horror history with BASKET CASE and BRAIN DAMAGE, the incomparable Frank Henenlotter unleashed FRANKENHOOKER—the greatest transmutation of Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN that you’ll ever see!
Soon after accidentally killing the love of his life, Jeffrey Franken (James Lorinz) decides to reanimate her with the help of a drug called Supercrack… and the body parts of a dozen streetwalkers. Feeling like a twisted mash-up between John Waters’s SERIAL MOM and Stuart Gordon’s RE-ANIMATOR, FRANKENHOOKER is a bad taste triumph that revels in sublime camp, gloopy gore, and neon-soaked dreamscapes. Plus an iconic performance by Patty Mullen as the eponymous title character.
Co-presented with Scarecrow Video!
Please note: Here-After is a 21 and over establishment. The entrance is via the alley in back of The Crocodile building. Get there early to order tasty beverages from the bar and delicious food from Tat’s Deli!
“Frank Henenlotter’s Frankenhooker is a ridiculous yet absolute joy to watch, one that manages to possess the themes of the novel [Frankenstein] and embrace its sleazy nature.” Ryan Maguire, Collider
