I'm big into horror. Love the 1974 movie Young Frankenstein, especially, because of its unique story and all the history that comes with it. But what I love most about it is that it has comedy elements too, due to the great directing of Mel Brooks and acting of Gene Wilder.
Horror movies are the best!
I agree, and horror/comedy films are such a unique combination... With the movie centered on the title character being a descendant of the popular Dr. Victor Frankenstein, and having actor Peter Boyle star as the monster.. It had great actors in it, and they did a great job making it a parody of classic horror films.
Isnt the monster called Frankensteins monster? i always get it confused
"Frankenstein" produced by Universal Pictures in the 1930s. Much of the lab equipment used as props was created by Kenneth Strickfaden for the 1931 film "Frankenstein". To help evoke the atmosphere of the earlier films, Brooks shot the picture entirely in black and white, a rarity in the 1970s, and employed 1930s' style opening credits and scene transitions such as iris outs, wipes, and fades to black. The film also features a period score by Brooks' longtime composer John Morris.
A critical favorite and
Young Frankenstein (musical)
Young Frankenstein (promoted as The New Mel Brooks Musical: Young Frankenstein) is a musical with a book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, and music and lyrics by Brooks. It is based on the 1974 comedy film of the same name written by Brooks and Gene Wilder and directed by Brooks, who has described it as his best film. It is a parody of the horror film genre, especially the 1931 Universal Pictures adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and its 1939 sequel,
