‘Lisa Frankenstein’ trailer: Goth teen builds a boyfriend in ’80s horror comedy

The teaser trailer for retro horror comedy Lisa Frankenstein is here, and it looks like what you’d get if you mixed Mary Shelley’s classic novel with Heathers. That is, a ton of fun.

Set in the ’80s, Lisa Frankenstein follows Lisa (Kathryn Newton), a goth teenager who likes to hang out in a graveyard and fantasise about a relationship with one of its long dead occupants (Cole Sprouse). Fortunately for her, her dream boyfriend gets resurrected. Unfortunately for everyone else, this sets the couple on a course of murder and mayhem as they fight for their undying love.

Written by Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body) and directed by Zelda Williams in her feature-length debut, Lisa Frankenstein also features Liza Soberano, Henry Eikenberry, Joe Chrest, and Carla Gugino.

Lisa Frankenstein arrives in theatres Feb. 9.
