Dr. Victor Frankenstein has completely mastered immortality and has now also created an infinite number of Einstein-Rosen Bridges (wormholes) or "Frankenholes" between his small Eastern European village (which is teeming with monsters and supernatural forces) and every time period from the past and the future. This allows historical figures and celebrities seeking the doctor's services to find him. Although many classic horror monsters are present, the series' main focus is Dr. Frankenstein and his family. Creator Dino Stamatopoulos says "regular human beings are the monsters."[1]
Besides Frankenstein himself, other characters from Frankenstein appear.
Season 1 started June 27, 2010 and ended August 22, 2010. The second episode, "Mother To Be-Sa" was pulled and never aired.[2] Episodes aired out of order.
