Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
The granddaddy of all comedy horror films, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello encounter the classic Universal Monsters Frankenstein (Glenn Strange), Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and The Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.) in one of the duo's greatest flicks. Dracula is looking for a brain for his Frankenstein Monster and warns Wilbur Gray (Costello) to watch his head! Not only is it one of Abbott and Costello's best movies, it's also the best of the "Monster Rally" films from Universal. (Where they featured all their monsters in one film.) Watch for Vincent Price in a cameo appearance as The Invisible Man. Goofy humor by the buckets- appropriate for all ages who love monsters. The auditorium will open at 6:00pm and the movie begins at 6:30 with a brief discussion about the film at 6:15pm. Food and drink are allowed in the auditorium during the film.
Gimmick- Monster Whistles and "Horror Horn" to keep everyone safe during the movie!
