Frankenstein films that don't contain the word 'Frankenstein'

• The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Tim Curry as a mad scientist who sets out to create life. Sound familiar? At least we never got to see Colin Clive or Peter Cushing in lingerie!
• Carry On Screaming: To start with, there is Dr. Watt, who needs regular bursts of electricity to keep himself rejuvenated, and then there is Oddbod and Oddbod Jr
• Frankenweenie: Tim Burton's wonderful stop-motion homage to Mary Shelley's creature. Lucky owners of the Blu-Ray release also get the original 1984 live action version, with Daniel Stern and Shelley Duvall
• Frankenhooker: Wanna date? Bad taste splatter comedy about a man who tries to bring his dead girlfriend back after she is killed by a lawnmower! [Apparently, when director Frank Henenlotter was trying to get an MPAA rating, he was told "Congratulations, you're the first film rated S." "S? For sex?" "No, S for shit"]
• The Brain Of Morbius: Classic, scary Doctor Who story
• Blackenstein: Inept and hilarious blaxploitation version of the story. 10 out of 10 for the monsters 'fro tho!
• The Spirit Of The Beehive: Beautiful Spanish drama about a young girl who becomes fascinated with the creature after viewing a screening of Whale's 1931 film
• Edward Scissorhands: Vincent Price makes Johnny Depp
• Day Of The Dead: Anyone who is even more pedantic that I am would argue that this is actually a zombie film, but I would point them in the direction of the character who has the nickname 'Frankenstein'!
