Budapest is the capital and largest city in the country of Hungary. Located close to the border of Romania, Budapest has been largely considered a stopgap locale in various horror media. London solicitor Jonathan Harker traveled through Budapest on his way to Transylvania. Budapest was also a pivotal setting in the 1985 film The Bride. In the film, the Frankenstein Monster (known as Viktor) and his dwarf companion Rinaldo journey to Budapest where they join the circus. The Monster later leaves the city after Rinaldo is murdered by the unscrupulous circus managers.
