SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939) / YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL!!

SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939) d. Rowland V. Lee (USA)
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) d. Mel Brooks (USA




From the moment the original Frankenstein from Universal Studios was released in November of 1931, the landscape of cinema changed forever as Mary Shelley’s creation became a household word overnight. Unsurprisingly for Hollywood, further adventures featuring the Frankenstein monster followed, some critically acclaimed, others derided, while the fan base grew, passed on through generations of horror fans.

Tonight, we examine the third film in the Universal canon, Son of Frankenstein (1939), celebrating its 85th anniversary, as well as the legendary comedy from Mel Brooks, 1974’s Young Frankenstein, celebrating its 50th anniversary.


Join AC and his amazing panel of film fans: Doug Long (DePaul University), Dave M. Gray (Raiders of the Podcast), Michael Weber (Porchlight Theater), Fraser Coffeen (Creepy History) for a hilarious round table discussion celebrating these two classic spins on the Frankenstein mythos.
