"Based on the Oscar-nominated smash hit 1974 film, Young Frankenstein
is the wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Mary Shelley classic from the
comic genius of Mel Brooks. When
Frederick Frankenstein, an esteemed New York
brain surgeon and professor, inherits a castle and laboratory in Transylvania from his grandfather, deranged genius Victor
Von Frankenstein, he faces a dilemma. Does he continue to run from his
family's tortured past or does he stay in Transylvania to carry on his grandfather's
mad experiments reanimating the dead and, in the process, fall in
love with his sexy lab assistant Inga?" describe press notes.
