Just in time for October, Stray Cat is proud to bring back one of our favorite films prints we’ve ever played! What do you get when you mix the two funniest men of the 40s and a cavalcade of horror flick veterans? A film that is somehow one of the best comedies of the Hollywood golden age AND one of the best Universal monster movies!

Finding Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, and Bela Legosi in top form; ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN is a wonderful fusion of gothic horror and gag-a-minute slapstick! Screening from a RARE 16MM FILM PRINT!

Plot: Dracula is hunting for a brain he can use to bring Frankenstein back to life, but 2 dim witted bag men stand in his way!
