FrankenChrist illustrates the parallel themes of resurrection between Jesus in the context of the allegory of Frankenstein's monster. Borrowing stills from James Whale's 1931 classic version of Frankenstein, we witness Doctor Frankenstein grave robbing and then the botched brain theft by his assistant, destroying the jar containing a normal brain and stealing a prophetic one instead. The result is FrankenChrist, who after a dramatic unveiling utters his first words and promptly returns to the heavens. Named after and inspired by the 1985 Dead Kennedys album.
