* BaitAndSwitchCredits: With certain re-edits titled ''Andy Warhol's Frankenstein'', one would assume Mr. Warhol wrote, directed, produced, or otherwise had ''something'' to do with the film's creation, right? Especially if one knows that Mr. Warhol dabbled in the art of film-making himself. Wrong, all he did was visit the set a couple times and gave permission for his name to be used in a way that suggested he was more involved.

* EverybodyDiesEnding: The movie has a low bodycount all the way until the last scene in which most of the main characters are killed off in rapid succession with only three people left alive. And even then, one of those characters is certain to recieve a slow and painful death after the credits.

* AmbiguouslyGay: If Sacha isn't {{asexual}}, he is likely homosexual since he seems outright bored when women throw themselves at him. Granted, he mentions wanting to become a monk but he does not seem to have any moral objections with being inside of a bordello. Then there are the gazes at Nicholas' naked body.

''Flesh For Frankenstein'' is a 1973 horror movie that was filmed alongside its companion piece ''Film/BloodForDracula'', which was released the following year. Both films were written and directed by Paul Morrissey, a frequent collaborator of Andy Warhol who allowed his name to be attached to their alternate titles but otherwise had nothing to do with them. The films also starred Joe Dallesandro, another Warhol collaborator, and Udo Kier. Both films dealt with themes of sexuality, classism, and immortality in a tongue-in-cheek manner, using classic horror figures of the 19th century. In this case, ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}''.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Obviously, this movie is loosely based on the original novel but it's usually fairly established that Frankenstein's creations must look monstrous. Here, they look like an attractive young woman and man. Sure, there are some stitches around the torso but it looks as though they just came out of surgery.

* UnequalPairing: The Baroness and Nicholas, although this seems to be part of what turns the Baroness on. One of the ways she seduces him is to call him into her bedroom([[BlatantLies because she's ill]]) in order to lecture him about having sex on their property. And of course, she's wearing nothing but [[LingerieScene lingerie]], so she ends up... sucking his armpits?

**Andy Warhol later said that his job "was to go to the parties." The use of Antonio Margheriti's name was a result of Carlo Ponti's habit of crediting his films to Italian directors in the Italian market so that they would qualify for tax breaks. The practice was how Ponti ended up in jail.

You Fail Geography Forever / You Fail History Forever should be removed; Greek-Serbian relations date back centuries. Also, the entry claims the two countries are in different parts of Europe. In fact only Macedonia separates them.


* YouFailGeographyForever / YouFailHistoryForever: Frankenstein prides the Serbian culture on its link to the ancient Greeks. Except that the two countries are in two different parts of Europe and have equally different cultures. In fact, there's really no connection at all. Wouldn't a closer connection be found in, you know, ''the modern Greeks themselves?!''
