WTF Happened To Frankenhooker?

[@nicholastotoro7721]

WANNA DATE?!??? When I was in High School, I worked at a record store that also had video rental. The VHS box had a button on the front that you pushed and a little speaker would play "WANNA DATE?!?" 😂

[@anima_96x7]

Earlier this year I introduced my friends to the films of Frank Henenlotter and we all had a blast. Henenlotter’s commitment to just having all out fun with the outrageousness of his films while occasionally dipping into some truly freaky stuff is nothing short of amazing. Once we got to Frankenhooker we thought, “How can Frank top himself with this one?” Needless to say, he did just that in more ways than one and Frankenhooker wound up becoming a group favorite (it sits right behind Brain Damage as my favorite Henenlotter film). 😊

[@reverenddmo8944]

Brain Damage is still my favourite of Frank's, but this runs a close second. Patty Mullen is clearly having an absolute blast in this film and has great comedic chops. It might not be Henenlotter's greatest in my eyes, but it's still an absolute classic.

[@user-bf6gz8ej4o]

what about Basket Case? Frankenhooker is comparatively very weak, I think. Frankenhooker should have appeared after 30 min into the film, not one hour. The whole movie is a climax for 10 minutes Frankenhooker...

[@edwardbickford8277]

This movie is definitely like a Tales from the Crypt episode.

[@andrewrichards9513]

Basketcase 1& 2 are amazing, and frankenhooker is awesome 👌

[@jaded5957]

Considering Patty Mullen was a Penthouse 'pet' before this film, her comedic timing was excellent.

[@julius-stark]

"They screened the film and said they were going to rate it S for Shit" ok I laughed.

[@bensneb360]

This is the peak of cinema

[@necrophagiakc]

Heather Hunter ❤️❤️

[@vincentserrano1595]

Great video , good job

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

This really is an overlooked gem. A bunch of us saw it back in high school and couldn't stop talking about it.

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

I'm happy to say I showed this to my wife some months ago and she actually laughed a few times, while shaking her head at the same time of course. Wanted to show her Basket Case but it wasn't available. "Want a date!?" 👁️❤ Henenlotter! And thats awesome how I'm thinking of this being the poor man's Re-Aninator just before you say it. 😎👍 2nd EDIT!-DUDE!...Bill freakin' Murray!? Im just about to watch Scrooged! happy holidays to you AND me😁

[@JoBloHorrorOriginals]

Frank Henenlotter is the best!

[@James-Foster]

I first heard about Frankenhooker when James Rolfe reviewed it on Monster Madness X in 2016 I found the movie pretty funny and interesting.

[@Edhdhsjsisjsjdhdhejehdhdh]

Last time I watched frankenhooker was Vhs fest 7 at the mahoning drive-in theater in Pennsylvania. Patty Mullen was there in the snack bar in costume taking pictures all weekend. While frankenhooker was on there were race cars roaring at the demolition derby a mile away and fireworks in every direction. My top cinema experience of all time.

[@Emiliodelgado25]

I gotta say at 9:49 I liked how you mentioned that knowing that from when I saw that scene it really does show how this is how you face the consequences of messing with life and death and also this is what happens when you couldn’t move on loving someone different because we can’t blame you for what you didn’t mean for it to happen but you shouldn’t just keep clinging onto what you really miss the most

[@jaded5957]

I remember going in expecting this film to have nothing but the concept going for it, but I found it hilarious and really enjoyed it on subsequent watches.

[@beejay271]

The scene where that guinea pig blows up is so realistic it actually looks like it happened for real.

[@eVanDiesel]

What happened is...they made an awesome movie!!!!

[@runelateralus9265]

My friend used to show this film as a tradition every Halloween party she threw.

[@geeshep4836]

I Remember My Uncle Rented This Movie on Video There Was This Videostore Called Royal Video When I Was a Kid and It Wasn't Too Far From My House And my Uncle And My mother kept Telling me over and over again it Wasn't a Kids Movie But I Didn't Care It Was Around '95/'96 at the time I Was 8 or 9 years old Then After I took a Nap on my uncle's Bed my grandma played Frankenhooker and I Watched it with one eye open pretending to be asleep. Now at The age of 37 Watched Frankenhooker Again on TUBI a Few Months Ago in all It's Uncensored Comedic Horror Glory.

[@anthonywheeler2082]

Easily one of my favorite horror-comedies. It's Frank Henenlotter's masterpiece.

[@DeliveryServiceFan06]

Frank Henenlotter is kinda like the John Waters of Surreal Body Horror Films Frankenhooker is kind of like Weird Science meet The Man With Two Brains with Steve Martin Meet Re-Animator set in a Taxi Driver style New York City this is one of his best films it's one of the weirdest and most creative horror films i ever seen since i first discovered it this film's tone felt like it belonging to the Adult Swim show Aqua Teen Hunger Force because of it's bizarre tone in humor that was seen in Aqua Teen i think the film remind me of it overall this film is a horror classic of the early 90s and i still remember it to this day thank you for this video Joblo Wanna Date!

[@ikapatino3214]

I didn't know it was the same director for these movies. I love these movies reminds me of my childhood and my dad r.i.p that let me watch rated R movies when I was a kid.

[@Dendarang]

I don't know, I find the main character in this incredibly entertaining from his voice to his mannerisms, personality, bags under his eyes and so on. I didn't really miss Frankenhooker before she appeared nor was I going "when's the Frankenhooker going to show up", I was thoroughly enjoying the movie well before then.

[@kevinbartoe7881]

You know what you are getting into with a Henenlotter movie.

[@lenawilliams539]

This movie is a hidden gem.

[@Citrakite]

They pulled a Corman and reused what they had and where they could shoot while making two films at the same time.

[@Bluboy30]

I remember seeing this film in the video store back in the days but I never rented it. It sounds so crazy and I should've rented back then. 😂

[@wstine79]

For the longest time, I thought Andrew McCarthy was the lead in the movie. This was my favorite or Frank's movies.

[@jaded5957]

YEAH!! I thought it was him too.

[@DeliveryServiceFan06]

First he was in love with a Mannequin now he's in love with a Zombie Hooker that's the weirdest thing i ever heard in my life about him.

[@brianpratt3224]

I remember watching this on VHS. I can't understand why this never won the best picture at the academy awards.

[@ionamoebam5931]

I remember finding this on TV way back in the 90's played on a late night Halloween set up .

[@RoisterDoister11]

Patty Mullen deserved an award for this film

[@robynpress9534]

I was 16 when I watched this with my dad. Classic.

[@cjames22dox]

"Where's my Johnson!?!" It's like poetry, that final of this movie should have study years ago. Robert Browning Shakespeare Mark Twain Forget those guys, Frankenhooker should what we are studying from.

[@godsofohio6734]

All art eventually leads to this conclusion. Art, in its many forms, ultimately converges on a fundamental truth or insight about the human experience. This idea can be enriched by referencing Jungian archetypes, which are universal, primordial symbols and themes that recur across cultures and epochs in art, literature, and mythology. In essence, just as art leads us to profound insights about the human condition, the phrase "Where is my Johnson?" can be seen as a symbolic representation of the universal quest for self-discovery and completeness.

[@cjames22dox]

@godsofohio6734 where is my Johnson? Where is my Johnson? Where are any of our Johnsons?

[@ariescustom]

I fucking LOVE this film.

[@QuizmasterLaw]

this actually sounds awesome!

[@QuizmasterLaw]

AS A FILM. NOT AS A FANTASY LOL

[@goldenagenut]

Met Patty years ago, a very sweet lady! Hope she's doing well!

[@Emiliodelgado25]

You know, I almost did imagine if they could ever do like a remake for this movie, but who knows maybe in a teenage high school or college type of people kind of way to make it more interesting

[@tdsollog]

Frankenhooker is long overdue for a reboot/ remake. It needs a new audience.

[@MichaelAlderton]

Love this movie 🍿🍿🎥🎥 a solid cult classic perfect to watch on a Friday or Saturday night

[@demonofthefall2454]

U mean if Frankenstein has a daughter.

[@Crudecomicsinc]

Patty has a new movie called STRANGE TOYS COMING OUT !!!! STARS HER AND THE GREASY STRANGLER MICHAEL ST. MICHAELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thatbudguy1328]

The glottal stop of the VO guy is so incredibly off putting = "Mar'in" instead of Martin, "Manha'an" instead of Manhattan, "Ea'en" instead of Eaten, etc Are you doing this on purpose?

[@antimatta8714]

It's a cult classic, and rightfully so.👍

[@harrykalb1187]

What a just purely, craptasticslly fun piece of 80s shit!

[@themythrighthere9412]

[@DarthOppossum]

I got this movie when I was 13 and it helped shape my life :) I can't say it's a "good" movie for normal people, but I think it's a great movie!

[@Crudecomicsinc]

Excuse me, the what?

[@art_vandelay1738]

Der Film ist so durch XD XD...genial

[@Momoka7]

Frank Henenlotter. What a name. In German "hennen" means like female chicken. "lottern" is the German word for "loiter". Even if he is not of German decent... as a German a funny name, lol.

[@paulhickie6974]

Love that film kick ass and funny 😆.

[@adogg4629]
