Director: Mel Brooks
Year: 1974
Runtime: 106 minutes
In this Mel Brooks homage to and parody of old monster pictures, the American scientist grandson of the infamous Dr. Frankenstein travels to Transylvania and the old family castle. There he discovers his grandfather’s old laboratory and notes on reanimation of corpses, and here we go again…
“The best Mel Brooks film with the finest Gene Wilder performance is this near-flawless horror spoof that’s shot in velvety monochrome and pays loving homage to the original Universal monster movies of the 1930s.”

“Wilder’s hysteria seems perfectly natural. You never question what’s driving him to it; his fits are lucid and total. They take him into a different dimension — he delivers what Harpo promised.”
