The Monster is the body of a convict with an abnormal brain brought back to life in Transylvania, Romania. He is seven and a half feet tall and 54 inches wide.

During the events of Young Frankenstein (1974) played by Peter Boyle

Dr. Frankenstein and Igor put a body on a table and use electricity to bring The Monster to life, but fail. Later, The Monster comes to life and Dr. Frankenstein sets it free from the operating table. Igor lights a cigarette, which causes The Monster to go into a rage and he starts to strangle Dr. Frankenstein. Inga gives The Monster a sedative and he falls asleep. Frau Blucher finds The Monster and sets him free. Dr. Frankenstein realizes it was Frau Blucher who led them into the laboratory. The Monster breaks out of the castle and runs away. He comes across a Little Girl playing by a well and the Little Girl is thrown onto her bed when The Monster sits on the opposite end of the seesaw as her. The Monster barges into the home of a Blindman who had just asked God for a companion. The Blindman offers soup to The Monster, but accidentally pours it on The Monster's crotch. He offers wine to The Monster but smashes The Monster's cup while offering a toast and then the Blindman sets The Monster's thumb on fire while trying to light his cigar. The Monster runs away and goes into town. Dr. Frankenstein disguises himself and is able to catch The Monster by attracting him by playing the violin. Dr. Frankenstein tells The Monster he is good, not evil and he loves him. Dr. Frankenstein presents The Monster at the Bucharest Academy of Science after being introduced by the Emcee at Frankenstein's Show. He has The Monster show off his abilities culminating in a dance number of Puttin' On The Ritz. One of the lights suddenly explodes during their dance number and the crowd turns on them and starts to throw vegetables at Dr. Frankenstein and The Monster. The Monster becomes enraged and is arrested. A Sadistic Jailor tortures The Monster by lighting matches and holding them towards The Monster's face. The Monster grabs the Sadistic Jailor and chokes him to death and frees himself. As Elizabeth is brushing her hair, The Monster breaks into her room and she screams. The Monster takes Elizabeth to a hay loft and they have sex. Dr. Frankenstein plays the violin from the castle to try and attract The Monster, who arrives at the castle and Dr. Frankenstein transfers a portion of his brain to The Monster. Inspector Kemp and the villagers arrive at the castle and break inside and Villager starts to break the lab equipment. The villagers grab Dr. Frankenstein and The Monster, who can now speak, tells them to put Dr. Frankenstein down. The Monster tells Inspector Kemp that since he couldn't instill love into people, that he would instill fear into them. He then tells the villagers of the sacrifice Dr. Frankenstein made and Inspector Kemp offers The Monster his friendship. Later, The Monster marries Elizabeth.
