What happens

Flesh for Frankenstein is a 1973 horror film written and directed by Paul Morrissey. It stars Udo Kier, Joe Dallesandro, Monique van Vooren, and Arno Juerging. In West Germany and the United States, the film was released as Andy Warhol's Frankenstein and was presented in the Space-Vision 3D process in premiere engagements. It was rated X by the MPAA due to its explicit sexuality, nudity and violence. In the 1970s, a 3-D version played in London and Stockholm. A 3-D version also played in Australia in 1986, along with Blood for Dracula. The gruesomeness of the action was intensified in the original release by the use of 3D. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
