A low-budget B-movie/[[Franchise/UniversalHorror Universal Monsters]] "homage" (read: actual B-movie) released in 2005, directed, written by, and starring William Winckler. A group of scientists (G. Larry Butler, Alison Lees-Taylor, and Rich Knight) bring Frankenstein's monster (Larry Furbish) back from the dead so he can serve as a tool of war. This "war" involves sending him to kill their previous experiment - a fishman (Corey Marshall) that's lurking a Los Angeles beach, has gone berserk and started killing people. A sleazy porn photographer (Winckler), along with his wife (Dezzie Rae Ascalon) and ''GIANT GAY STEREOTYPE'' Percy (Gary Canavello) encounter the fishman and are held hostage in the mad scientists' mansion when they try to escape. Throw in visions of Dr. Frankenstein's ghost, a werewolf, cameos by Lloyd Kaufman and Ron Jeremy, and you'd better get yourself some drinks ready!
