Considering the human fascination with death and what comes after, it's no surprise that we've concocted so many "what-if" stories about the dead coming back to life to tell us about it. Zombies don't really count, as they are monsters made of corpses that have no connection with the soul that once inhabited them. There are numerable other Hollywood takes on the idea of re-animation after death; some you may have never heard of, like Frankenhooker.
Cult movie director Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case) quite obviously used Frankenstein as a loose inspiration for this ghoulish and yet weirdly sweet 1990 horror comedy, which is about an electrical whiz named Jeffrey Franken (James Lorinz) who turns to mad science to resurrect his fiancée, Elizabeth Shelley (Patty Mullen), after a tragic lawnmower accident turns her into a “tossed human salad.” But he doesn’t rob graves as part of his scheme; instead, he puzzles together body parts culled from sex workers he subdues using...his own blend of super-crack...that makes them explode.
The twist in this story is that the resurrected girlfriend takes on the traits of the body parts she is composed of. Quite a few other possibilities for bringing back the dead are explored in this movie list, but most come with the lesson that you will regret messing with the natural order.
