Please join film historian Larry Wolff to discuss Abbott and Costello's most well known film, "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein".  Attendees will learn about the making of the funniest horror film of all time and how it almost was never completed!  Film highlights will follow the presentation making for a perfect introduction to the Halloween season.  See why no one could top Lou Costello in displaying on screen fright as "The Boys" tangle with Universal's classic monsters for their final screen bow - Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolfman and the immortal Count Dracula!  You will also learn about the monster that didn't make it into the film and together, we'll uncover a few screen mistakes.  This film is just as funny now as it was in 1948!  Halloween music is included as is an autograph, memorabilia and book display.

No registration required.
