Abstract: George Kuchar was one of the most prolific American independent film and videomakers. With his homemade Super 8 and 16mm potboilers and melodramas of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’90s, he became legendary as a subversively outrageous underground filmmaker whose work influenced directors such as Andy Warhol, John Waters and David Lynch. After his transition to video, he remained a master of genre manipulation creating hundreds of hilarious and often diaristic videos with a camcorder, and dime-store props, while using friends and students as actors. "This horror picture is a sequel to THE KISS OF FRANKENSTEIN (a one act play I wrote a few years ago which was performed by my graduate students at the San Francisco Art Institute). This one was made on the main campus and features Linda Martinez reprising the role of Sherri Frankenstein who is MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! The budget given us was $400 but the picture looks big and robust, thanks to the attractive and healthy looking cast of students and guest performers who bring this tale of family vengeance to a rousing and tuneful finale.
