In this episode of the Bear Cave of Terror, guest host Tito Gutierrez introduces Steve to the trashy exploitation horror classic, Frankenhooker, directed by Frank Henenlotter and released to unsuspecting moviegoers in 1990. This wild and hilarious send-up of Frankenstein and Re-Animator from the creator of the Basket Case franchise and Brain Damage is filled with exploding sex workers and johns, jacked pimps, Super-Crack, and a garage freezer filled with mutant mistakes that could have been extras in Society (1989)! We chat about the the experience the producers had getting this rated by the MPAA, the fun make-up effects and explosive body parts, the appearance of former horror host Zacherle, and the rich, nuanced dialogue that'll have you blurting out uncontrollably, "Wanna date?"
