15 years after writing Jennifer's Body, Diablo Cody is back with another coming-of-age horror comedy: Lisa Frankenstein.

Directed by Zelda Williams, Lisa Frankenstein is the '80s set-tale of high school outcast Lisa (Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's Kathryn Newton). She wishes for nothing more than to be with her crush. The problem? He's a dapper gentleman buried six feet under. But not for long!

Thanks to a Mary Shelley-esque miracle, Lisa's dream guy (Riverdale's Cole Sprouse) comes to life. His presence bolsters Lisa's confidence, sets her on a Goth kick, and encourages her to be more confident.

Get ready to swoon (and scream) as these two unlikely lovers embark on a whirlwind romance — oh, and a crime spree to recover some missing body parts.

Lisa Frankenstein hits theaters Feb. 9.
