Re: Frankenmovies
Act II
The band begins a worldwide investigation of UFO activity and strange, related occurrences. Witnesses report that the UFOs make distinctive sounds: a five-tone musical phrase in a major scale.
The band broadcasts the phrase to outer space, but are mystified by the response: a seemingly meaningless series of numbers repeated over and over, until Barney recognizes it as a set of geographical coordinates pointing to Devils Tower, Wyoming.
Meanwhile, Barney's increasingly erratic behavior causes Betty to leave him, taking their three children with her. When a despairing Barney inadvertently sees a television news program about a train wreck near Devils Tower, he realizes the mental image of a mountain plaguing him is real.
The lead guitarist's girlfriend Mindy - who has been having similar visions - sees the same broadcast, and she and Barney head for Devil's Tower in spite of the false public warnings about nerve gas.

Act III
At the mysterious Devil's Tower, Barney and Mindy come across a massive and dangerous alien life form. Despite their urges, the creature is captured by an opportunistic showman and taken back to New York to be part of a stage act. Mindy has formed a strange connection with the beast, and objects to its capture.
Back in New York, the alien becomes agitated by a group of reporters, and breaks free of its restraints. It kidnaps Mindy and goes on a rampage through the city. With Mindy in hand, it climbs the Empire State Building, where it is shot down by airplanes and falls to its death. Mindy survives, and is comforted by Barney, as they both sadly look upon the ruination of the beast, who died to protect Mindy.

Re: Frankenmovies
Act I
The lifeless body of Jack Smelt floats in the swimming pool of a palatial mansion. As the police begin converging on the house Jack's voice narrates, in flashback style, the events leading up to his own murder.
Six months earlier, Jack was unable to find work as a screenwriter. Broke and on the verge of having his car repossessed, Joe tries to persuade bigwig producer Benicio Foote to buy his most recent script, but is thwarted when Benicio's assistant Vera gives the script terrible coverage.
Fleeing from the repo men, Jack hides his car in the garage of a seemingly-deserted mansion on Pico Boulevard - but then is startled when a woman inside calls to him. Mistaken for the undertaker summoned to collect the woman's deceased chimpanzee, Jack is ushered in by the mysterious butler, Griswold McFee.
Jack recognizes the owner of the mansion as long-forgotten silent-film star Lila Horvath. When Lila learns that Jack is a writer, she asks for his opinion on a script she has written that she hopes will revive her acting career.
Although Jack finds the script awful, he flatters Lila into hiring him as an editor...

Re: Frankenmovies
Act II
Editing turns into rewriting. As the first blizzard of the season closes the roads, isolating the mansion, Jack bangs his head against the script. Nothing is working. The mansion, though, is speaking to him. He senses its past. There is a story there. A story the ghosts need told. Miss Horvath doesn't understand. She had McFee lock up all the liquor. A drink. One good drink, and he will be able to write a new script that will make her forget hers...
