The Frankenstein-Dracula is a real opening... you can look it up!
1. e4 e5 2. Nc3
I think it's called the Vienna game

 
2... Nf6 3. Bc4
Nothing exciting so far...

 
3... Nxe4
fork trick...

4. Qh5
Qh7?!! aha... trying a version of Scholar's mate? not quite...

 
4... Nd6
and we are almost in the middle of the Frankenstein-Dracula -the white bishop is attacked

 
5. Bb3
protect the bishop

 
5... Nc6
defend the pawn

 
6. Nb5
deflecting the black knight to prepare for checkmate

 
6... g6 7. Qf3
keeping the attack

 
7... f5
blocking checkmate

 
8. Qd5
threatening checkmate again... is this crazy or what?

8... Qe7
this might seem like an extremely horrible blunder

9. Nxc7+ Kd8 10. Nxa8
it's not really, though, as you'll soon see

 
10... b6 11. d3
who cares about a knight? white is behind in development

11... Bb7 12. h4
development and attacking is worth more than saving 1 point with Nb6- white threatens Bg5 and he is going to castle queenside-as you'll see white will develop safely and win

 
12... f4 13. Qf3 Nd4 14. Qg4
white wants a queen trade
