Synopsis:

In Serbia, Baron Frankenstein lives with the Baroness and their two children. He dreams of a super-race, returning Serbia to its grand connections to ancient Greece. In his laboratory, assisted by Otto, he builds a desirable female body, but needs a male who will be superbody and superlover. He thinks he has found just the right brain to go with a body he's built, but he's made an error, taking the head of a asexual aesthete. Meanwhile, the Baroness has her lusts, and she fastens on Nicholas, a friend of the dead lad. Can the Baron pull off his grand plan? He brings the two zombies together to mate. Meanwhile, Nicholas tries to free his dead friend. What about the Baron's children?

Incest, necrophilia and Joe Dallesandro? It must be Paul Morrissey! Morrissey did indeed direct this 1973 schlock spectacular. Starring Udo Kier in the role of the Baron, Flesh for Frankenstein is a horror story for a new 'n' lewd generation. This time around, the mad scientist has created the nymphomaniacally-inclined Adam and Eve, whose mission it is to spawn a new race. Along for the ride --somewhat literally -- is a lusty stable boy (Joe Dallesandro) whose main duty it is to entertain the Baron's equally lusty wife/sister. Sex, gore, unconvincing bat attacks and the highest camp this side of the Appalachian Trail combine for a dizzyingly outrageous midnight movie.

Maverick filmmaker Paul Morrissey's Flesh for Frankenstein reevaluates the horror film, infusing it with satiric wit and sexuality.
