So one day he ups to another scientist and says, sneaky-like: "I plan to assemble a human being." His friend is horrified. "But, Professor Frankenstein, you can't-" Oh yes, he can, and what's more, he plans to make a teen-age monster. After all, I Was a Teenage Werewolf was a howling success at the box office last year...
