A Sprinkle of Rainbows, A Dash of Reanimated Corpse Boyfriends: Welcome to Lisa Frankenstein

Reimagining Lisa Frank

Remember those kittens boogieing around rainbows, unicorns playing hopscotch in clouds, and dolphins soaring out of neon oceans on your childhood stationary? Yes, we’re talking about the iconic Lisa Frank. But hold onto your sticker books ladies and gents, because it looks like this colour splash is taking a spooky turn.

The High Schooler and Her Undead Crush

From the creative minds of director Zelda Williams and writer Diablo Cody, we introduce Lisa Frankenstein. Our protagonist, Lisa (Kathryn Newton), is your standard brooding teenager who strongly believes the world doesn’t get her. It’s a classic tale, a side of teenager angst with a sprinkle of ennui. But here’s the kicker – she’s smitten with a long-deceased, but surprisingly dashing corpse (Cole Sprouse). Who needs warm-blooded boys when you’ve got a cool, decomposing dude, right?

Enter The Undead Lover

While her high school friends are busy swooning over the living, breathing heartthrobs, Lisa has her eyes set on her spooky beau. You might say her taste leans more towards the – literal – stiff side. How she manages to catch the eye (or, perhaps, the empty eye socket) of her dearly departed suitor, is yet to be seen…

Hot Take

Well folks, if you ever felt your love life was in a rut, Lisa is here to make you feel, well, surprisingly normal. And for those who said falling for a zombie wouldn’t be a thing – you just got served a plate of neon-colored humble pie. Let’s just hope her unique taste in boyfriends doesn’t extend to her homecoming date. Imagine the poor chaperones dealing with a zombie outbreak at the punch bowl. Now that’s a PTA meeting I’d pay to see!
