* The Music/InsaneClownPosse song ''Mad Professor'' features Jay creating Shaggy this way because he is lonely.

* Apparently Dr. Frankenstein [[http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/5092717/ was]] [[http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/5151206/ quite]] [[http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/5155249/ busy]] [[http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/5156246/ in]] ''Webcomic/TheKAMics''

* ''Film/TheCurseOfFrankenstein'', a 1957 HammerHorror adaptation, starring Creator/PeterCushing as Frankenstein and Creator/ChristopherLee as the monster.

* In the ''KingdomHearts'' series, whenever he is in [[{{TheNightmareBeforeChristmas}} Halloween Town]], {{Goofy}} will take on an appearance similar to Frankenstein's Monster, including a screw coming out of his head. This fits the tune of popular monsters that the trio become, since in this world, Sora is a [[{{OurVampiresAreDifferent}} vampire]] and Donald is wrapped like a [[{{Mummy}} mummy]].

* Marvel 616 has had several Frankenstein's Creatures walking about, though none were the actual original product but homages (By in universe scientists.) One was a Hulk analogue (Makes sense seeing as Hulk seems like a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde/Frankenstein's creature combi.) and one led the Howling Commandos. In ''Comicbook/DarkReign'', [[spoiler:{{Daken}}, son of {{Wolverine}}, killed Frank Castle, Comicbook/ThePunisher, and he was resurrected as Frankencastle, who led the new Monster Squad, with [[{{Morbius}} Morbius the Living Vampire]] and {{Man-Thing}}, into combat.]]

* Frankenstein's Monster is one of the eight wrestlers in ''Monster Brawl''.

----

* ''Frankenstein: Through The Eyes Of The Monster'', a first person adventure game that puts you in the shoes of the monster itself.

* The Super Mutants in the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series. In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'', Three Dog occasionally refers to them as "the Frankensteins". The BigBad of ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 2}}'', Frank Horrigan, is a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Cyber Super Mutant]].

* The Super Mutants in the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series. In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'', Three Dog occasionally refers to them as "the Frankensteins".

* Both the good doctor and his creation turned up as ghosts in ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}''; there, Dr. Frankenstein tried to make his idiotic monster obedient by giving it "the brain of the world's most gullible fool." And guess what? Ghostbuster Spenser fits the bill quite nicely...

* [[Characters/{{Superman}} Bizarro]], in incarnations where he is an imperfect clone of Franchise/{{Superman}} created by SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor, such as on ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', is pretty much Frankenstein's Monster.

* Frankie from ''Groovie Goolies''.

* The HalloweenEpisode from ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' has Ichigo Kurosaki alias Franken Ichigo who was revived by his sisters Karin (the doctor) and Yuzu (the assistant). [[spoiler:It's FridgeBrillance since Ichigo's soul is a mix of Shinigami, Quincy and Hollow, that's why he's actually a human, a Shinigami, a Visored, a Hollow, a Fullbringer and a Quincy at the same time]].

* Nobuhiro Watsuki (creator of ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' and ''Manga/BusouRenkin'') made a one-shot called ''{{Embalming}}: Corpse and Bride.'' The main character is a monster called John Doe, and other monsters are the bad guys. A modified version with new main characters (but with John lurking in the background) is now running under the title ''Manga/{{Embalming}}: The Another Tale of Frankenstein.'' The premise of both is that Frankenstein's notebooks survived his death, and a thriving underground corpse-raising industry has resulted.

* FrankensteinAgentOfShade: As part of the {{New52}} ContinuityReboot, he becomes part of the [[MonsterMash Creature Commandos]].

* The {{Trope Namer|s}} and [[TropeMaker Maker]]: Mary Shelley's ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}''.

* ''KamenRiderKiva'' has Dogga/Riki, the LastOfHisKind of an entire race of Frankenstein's Monster-like beings with immense strength who feed on human souls. Thanks to a [[IOweYouMyLife pact with the hero's father]], he can loan his power to Kiva, turning Wataru into a MightyGlacier who grunts rather than speaking, [[DropTheHammer swings a giant hammer]], and has a lightning theme (matching up with the method of the Monster's creation).

* The MonsterOfTheWeek in the ''MyBabysittersAVampire'' episode "Jockenstein" is obvious Homage to Frankenstein's Monster.

* WhiteWolf ''really'' loves this trope. In ''{{Exalted}}'', the Chernozem ('Liminal Exalted') are almost-Promethean [-IN CREATION!-]. Available starting from the Third Edition.

* In ''TabletopGame/HaltEvilDoer'', FrankensteinsMonster serves as a PublicDomainCharacter CaptainErsatz of the Comicbook/IncredibleHulk ... with Victor as a sort of evil Bruce Banner.

* Frankie Stein is the daughter of Frankenstein's Monster and his Bride in Mattel's franchise, MonsterHigh.

* The monster is one of the two protagonists of the MonsterInMyPocket LicensedGame.
* ''VideoGame/{{Elvira}} II: Jaws of Cerberus'', full of horror homages, has the haunted house basement with an inanimate FrankensteinsMonster in the basement. You even have to animate it for sake of solving a puzzle, and do it the classic way by summoning a thunderstorm. Upon coming to life, however, the monster just kills you if you don't stop it in time.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' has a classic setup of this, complete with TheIgor, the lightning (provided by Celia), and the "IT'S ALIVE!" quote, with the exception that the MadScientist is [[spoiler:turning Roy into a bone golem]]. He also has a standard FrankensteinsMonster. (Which is a golem. Not an undead, honest.)

* The champion of Monster Truck Wrestling as revealed at the end of [[PixarShorts ''Monster Truck Mater'']] is actually Doctor Frankenwagen's Monster.

* FrankensteinAgentOfShade: As part of the {{New52}} reboot, he becomes part of the [[MonsterMash Creature Commandos]].

* FrankensteinAgentOfShade: Part of the New52 reboot, the "Creature" becomes a Federal agent.

In the early films, the monster is evil because a criminal or damaged brain was used. Modern films and TV series often revert to the original idea, depicting the monster as an [[GentleGiant innocent]] [[TorturedAbomination trapped in a monstrous body]], [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength unaware of the damage he can do]], [[HumansAreBastards rejected by a cruel world]]. When it starts out as an {{Evil Minion|s}}, it often does a HeelFaceTurn.

* ''Spear of Destiny'', the sequel to ''Wolfenstein3D'', has Dr. Schabbs's Uber-Mutant, a [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four-armed]] Frankenstein-type monster with a [[GatlinGood minigun]] [[ChestBlaster implanted in its chest]].

* A common boss (later on a DegradedBoss) in the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' games is the Creature. He usually has electricity based powers and brute strength, although the ''Portrait of Ruin'' version has one with a machine gun and rocket launcher hidden in his arms. Interestingly enough, while he was called Frankenstein in a number of games including the original, the later games had been consistent in using the name "The Creature," even to the point that his incarnation based on CastlevaniaI in CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDespair is called "R. The Creature" when every other enemy in the game had reverted to their name from the original game including Dracula being called "R. The Count."
