30 Days of Night[]
Frank worked as a guard at the Orleans County Penitentiary in New Orleans, Louisiana. One of the prisoners under his charge was a former drug addict named George Fowler, who was imprisoned for decapitating his girlfriend. Nobody knew that the woman in question was actually a vampire. In January, 2008, Frank informed George Fowler that he was to be transferred to a maximum security prison located elsewhere. George took this new very poorly as he believed his life would be in danger. During the transfer, Frank asked for nurse Sara Maguire to assist, believing that George Fowler might need to be sedated. Sara met Fowler and the guards in the prison yard as they were preparing to move him. Suddenly, and unexpectedly, a vampire named Jacob leapt over the barb wire fence into the yard. He slashed at Sara's throat with his claws, then attacked the other guards. George Fowler scrambled backwards and managed to pick up a handgun that a guard had dropped. He shot a guard in the leg, then shot his chains off so he could escape. While George fled, the bleeding Sara stumbled away as well. Jacob killed the other guards and finished off Frank by stomping his head with his boot. (30 Days of Night: Dust to Dust (Part 1))
The Last of Us[]
Frank was a gay Caucasian single male who appeared to be on the onset of middle age in the early 2000s. He was a survivor of Outbreak Day, when the Cordyceps pandemic swept across the world. Originally hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, Frank became a member of a group, but the group eventually died off from various threats as they journeyed towards a quarantine zone in Boston, until Frank was the only one left alive. In 2007, Frank came upon the property of a man named Bill. Bill was a survivalist, who had rigged the entire area surrounding his house with booby traps. Frank fell into one of Bill's pit traps and Bill came out to inspect it, armed with a gun. After determining that Frank was not a threat, Bill reluctantly allowed him to come into the house, where he provided him with clothing, a hot shower, and a meal. Frank quickly determined that Bill was gay and the two fell in love.
Return of the Living Dead[]
Frank is a character featured in the film Return of the Living Dead . He was a fictional foreman at Uneeda Medical Supply warehouse played by actor James Karen who appeared in the first installment of the series in 1985 (and Return of the Living Dead II in 1988 as Ed). Frank was training, and trying to impress, a young, new hire named Freddy Hanscom. After Freddy asked whatwas the weirdest thing he ever saw at the company, he went on to explain how scenes from the film Night of the Living Dead were actually based on real events. He told him there was a chemical spill, at the VA hospital in Pittsburgh, of a chemical called 245-Trioxin, which leaked down into the morgue and made all the dead bodies jump around as though they were alive. Freddy wanted to know how he knew that and Frank told him the canisters were shipped to their company by accident. Frank showed him the secret room in the basement containing canisters marked with a U.S. Army seal. Naturally, one of the canisters busted open gassing Frank and Freddy, rendering them unconscious and unbeknownst to them infecting them with the virus, slowly turning them into one of the undead as well. Rather than continue to exist as a flesh-eating creature, Frank elected to take his own life by crawling into a crematorium.
Struck by Lightning[]
"Frank" was the name utilized by the Frankenstein Monster in the modern era. More than 300-years-old, he did not look a day over 60, and found work as a handyman working at the Brightwater Inn in New England. His employer was the inn's owner, Mister Stein, who was the great-grandson of his creator, Doctor Frankenstein. Day to day operations at the inn were administered by a manager named Nora. When Mister Stein passed, ownership of the inn fell to his grandson, Ted Stein, who was a high school science teacher from Boston. Ted visited the inn and was willing to sell it off until Frank revealed the truth about his nature as well as Ted's infamous lineage. At no small measure of coercion, Frank convinced Ted to stay at the inn so that he could perfect his great-grandfather's serum to extend Frank's life. "If you don't, I'll die," he explained, "Let me put it another way... if you don't, you'll die". Reluctantly, Ted agreed to stay and worked in the cellar laboratory beneath the inn to perfect the serum that Frank needed. (Struck by Lightning)
True Blood[]
Frank is a minor human character featured on the HBO television series True Blood. Played by actor Colby French, he appeared in the eighth season two, "Timebomb". Frank was a member of the Fellowship of the Sun and the Light of Day Institute. He followed Steve Newlin to Dallas, Texas to get revenge upon the vampires responsible for killing Steve's family. Like other members of the group, he wore silver chains across his body to protect him, as well as the signature Honesty ring that all members wore. Jason Stackhouse approached him, posing as if he were still a loyal member of the group and showed that he was armed and ready to fight. When Frank questioned as to whether Jason's weapon was real or just a paintball gun, he knew that his ruse had ended, so he hit Frank across the face with the butt of the gun, knocking him out cold. (True Blood: Timebomb)
