Before we begin, we want to take a second for a moment of silence in honor of the passing of another Halloween season. Everyone good? Great! Thankfully, Svengoolie (aka Rich Koz) and the House of Svengoolie (Sarah Palmer's gorgeous ghoul Gwengoolie, Scott Gryder's devilishly ingratiating IMP (Ignatius Malvolio Prankerstein), and Bill Leff's 800-year-old vampire Nostalgiaferatoo) are back to keep the creepy vibes flowing! Kicking off at 8 pm ET/7 pm CT on MeTV tonight, Svengoolie screens the 1948 classic Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, starring Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, along with Lon Chaney Jr. as The Wolfman, Bela Lugosi as Dracula, and Glenn Strange as Frankenstein's Monster, as well as Lenore Aubert and Jane Randolph. Though production on the film was less than smooth, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein would go on to be one of Universal's top-grossing films of the year.
You can check out the trailer for Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein below. Following that, we have some thoughts from our host about tonight's screening (with the complete blog update here) and a look at Kerwyn's "Joke of the Week," submitted by Jay Hunter from Tucson, AZ:
Svengoolie on Tonight's Screening of "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein": "We'll go over the impressive cast list of this film and present a vintage version of our drawing game 'Too Drawn Out'- plus a fun interview from Flashback Weekend with Pamela Shoop, who played a nurse in 'Halloween II' and whom you've seen in countless TV shows- as well as a visit with our old friend, the star of 'Halloween III, ' Tom Atkins- and a song, more past convention fun, and more surprises!"
