YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) w/ Mel Brooks pre-show
March 13 : 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
“The best Mel Brooks film with the finest Gene Wilder performance is this near-flawless horror spoof that’s shot in velvety monochrome.” – Times (UK)
Rightfully regarded as one of the greatest comedies ever made, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN never gets old. Mel Brooks’ pitch-perfect satire of (and loving homage to) the Universal monster movies of the 1930s stars the maniacally brilliant Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronkensteen,” of course), a scientist determined to live down his family’s lurid reputation for creating evil creatures until he finds himself in the old family castle where he can’t help but take up the family business. With the help of Teri Garr as the voluptuous Inga, Marty Feldman as the bug-eyed assistant Igor, and an abnormal brain, Frankenstein ultimately brings to life a monster played with madcap mastery by Peter Boyle. But can the Monster be tamed? Or will he turn Frankenstein’s sex-starved socialite fiancee (the hilarious Madeline Kahn) into his bride? As Mel Brooks celebrates a century on the Earth this year, let’s pay a fond return to perhaps his finest hour.
Plus, we’ll have more Mel before the film! Come out early for a Mel Brooks pre-show starting at 6 pm!
Why should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides, monsters, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series, featuring thrills, chills, dark laughs and twisted loves, all culminating with our April 10 premiere of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER!
