Age: Recommended for ages 7 and up
Price: $5
Location:
Academy Museum of Motion Pictures

The popular comedy team of the 1940s and 1950s, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, goes up against Universal Studios’s monsters in this zany spoof. Dracula (Bela Lugosi), the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.), and Frankenstein’s Monster (Glenn Strange) all make memorable appearances in this horror comedy mashup, which manages to do justice to both genres - a feat frequently attempted but rarely achieved.

This 1948 black & white film has a runtime of  83 minutes and is recommended for ages 7 and up.

*On the last Saturday of every month, the museum's Family Matinee is an accommodative screening, with open captioning, the theater dimly lit, and volume maintained lower specifically for neurodivergent viewers.
