Put Two Good-Looking Monsters in

a Room, Anything's Possible.

Long ago in a peaceful mountaintop village Dr. Frankenstein created a Monster. But the Monster was lonely and wanted a friend. Much to his delight, the good Doctor gave him a Bride. History says she rejected him, much to her peril. But there's an old "cock n bull" story that says they spent one wild night together before all hell broke loose, and had a kid, who had a kid, who had a kid, who had a kid. Apparently the Monsters had quite the way with the ladies.

 

This, of course, infuriated Dr. Frankenstein. Monsters making their own Monsters? So he vowed to destroy them all. Over the years that curse was passed down to his children, and their children until there were no more Monsters, and peace returned to the village…

 

Or so they thought.

 

Many years later on a stormy night, one hell of a powerful lightning bolt strikes underneath the old laboratory ruins, waking the Bride from her one hundred year slumber. She's alive again, and she wants her kid.

 

 

Things in the Village of Frankenstein will never be the same, nor for a mild-mannered New York City plastic surgeon who grew up as an orphan.

 

This is the story of the Monster Child, a Semifinalist at the Austin Film Festival Screewriting competition.
