About this release
In this horror comedy, the gruesome death of his girlfriend Elizabeth (Patty Mullen) in a lawn mower accident inspires hobby scientist Jeff Franken (James Lorinz) to re-assemble her using Elizabeth's head and a variety of body parts he has "harvested" from a group of attractive New York City prostitutes. A convenient thunderstorm gets the experiment underway as "Frankenhooker" is set to roam the streets of New York.
