Growing up watching old movies on Saturday afternoon on my small 13″ TV in my room are some of the best of my childhood memories. And combining monsters with my favorite pair of comedy actors, Abbott & Costello, well, that just made it even better.

Some time ago, Kino Lober posted a photo of a box et they’d be releasing, with 6 different features with Abbott & Costello where they sort of cross over in the horror genre. They were: Hold That Ghost (1941), Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948), Abbott & Costello Meet the Killer Boris Karloff (1949), Abbott & Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951), Abbott & Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1953), and Abbott & Costello Meet the Mummy (1955), all in 4K presentations.

If you’re in the Chicago area tomorrow evening, June 20th, there will be a screening of one of the last, true great Universal Monster Films from the classic era, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948).

The event starts at 6pm at the Sulzer Regional Library, with an introduction by Aaron Christensen (Horror 101 with Dr. AC) with a Q&A to follow. For all the details of this event, just click HERE.

There is something to be said about seeing the old Universal classic monster films on the big screen. As many times as we’ve seen them on our TVs, it still doesn’t have the same impact of seeing them projected on a huge screen, inside a theater with a bunch of like minded film fans. There really is something magical about it and is something that every fan of these wonderful films should have the chance to experience that way. Well, if you’re anywhere near Canton, Ohio in October, then you will have the chance to do just that.
