- What is Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein / Arsenic and Old Lace about?
ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, 1948, Universal, 83 min. Dir. Charles Barton. Still considered the greatest horror spoof ever, as Bud and Lou run afoul of Frankenstein’s Monster, Dracula and the Wolfman (played straight by Glenn Strange, Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney, Jr.), with the Count intending to install Lou’s tiny brain in the Monster. If you’ve never seen this tour de force in a theatre with an audience, then you have no better way to ring in the New Year!
ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, 1944, Warner Bros., 118 min. Dir. Frank Capra. The granddaddy of all black comedies, a tender tale of two sweet old ladies with this odd little habit of poisoning people, plus their three darling nephews: a homicidal maniac who looks like Boris Karloff (who created the role on Broadway), a nut who thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and worst of all, a theatre critic.
