If you can’t meet your perfect boyfriend…make him.
Our second Volunteer of the Month pick for October 2026 comes courtesy of Tessa, who has chosen Lisa Frankenstein, one of the 2020s most exciting new cult classics!
Lisa (Kathryn Newton) is having a rough time. She’s stuck in a miserable home life, haunted by the memory of her late mother, and nursing a crush on a handsome corpse buried in the local cemetery. Then, after a freak electrical storm, that corpse comes back to life…and suddenly Lisa’s dream date is six feet under and very much ready to fall in love.
From writer Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body) and director Zelda Williams, Lisa Frankenstein is a neon-soaked tribute to ’80s teen romance, gothic horror, and everything between. Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse make for an unlikely and irresistibly strange couple as Lisa’s quest for love turns into a very unconventional resurrection romance.
