Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Also known as Andy Warhol's Frankenstein.Flesh For Frankenstein is a 1973 horror movie that was filmed alongside its companion piece Blood for Dracula, which was released the following year. Both films were written and directed by Paul Morrissey, a frequent collaborator of Andy Warhol who allowed his name to be attached to their alternate titles but otherwise had nothing to do with them. The films also starred Joe Dallesandro, another Warhol collaborator, and Udo Kier. Both films dealt with themes of sexuality, classism, and immortality in a tongue-in-cheek manner, using classic horror figures of the 19th century. In this case, Frankenstein.The movie concerns Baron Frankenstein (Kier) who lives in Serbia with his sister/wife and two children. As with other versions of the character, he is a Mad Scientist. This particular version wishes to create a Master Race using body parts stolen from corpses. He creates a female body but needs a male, preferably one who has a massive libido and sexual stamina so that they can produce offspring. He scopes out the local brothel for just the right man and mistakes the ambiguously gay Sacha as the perfect lover. He and his assistant Otto kill Sacha and use his brain as the mind of the male monster. His friend Nicholas the stable boy, works for the Frankensteins but does not fully realize Sacha's true fate, only seeing his dead body and left with several questions. Meanwhile, the Baroness begins seducing him after she catches him having sex with fellow workers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Before long, everything goes nuts and most of the cast die. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| Flesh for Frankenstein / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: Obviously, this movie is loosely based on the original novel but it's usually fairly established that Frankenstein's creations must look monstrous. Here, they look like an attractive young woman and man. Sure, there are some stitches around the torso but it looks as though they just came out of surgerynote though this is arguably just as close to the novel as the clearly monstrous in appearance approach, just wrong in the other direction — the creature in the book is described as looking human, even attractive... right up until it is animated and the inhumanity of it becomes apparent. | |

The Casanova | |
| Flesh for Frankenstein / int_5e2e55e4 | comment |
This would later come back to bite Frankenstein in the backside since he initially thought Sacha was The Casanova due to a series of misinterpreted events, and decided to use his brain for the male creature, hoping he would mate with his female creature. Turns out, he's not interested. | |

Ambiguously Gay | |
| Flesh for Frankenstein / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: If Sacha isn't asexual, he is likely homosexual since he seems outright bored when women throw themselves at him. Granted, he mentions wanting to become a monk but he does not seem to have any moral objections with being inside of a bordello. Then there are the gazes at Nicholas' naked body. This would later come back to bite Frankenstein in the backside since he initially thought Sacha was The Casanova due to a series of misinterpreted events, and decided to use his brain for the male creature, hoping he would mate with his female creature. Turns out, he's not interested. | |
