Matinee Screening
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) at The Million Dollar Theater
Saturday, October 25, 2025
2 p.m.
Enter the mad-cap laboratory of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974), where writer and director Mel Brooks brilliantly blends classic horror with sharp humor and unforgettable laughs. This loving tribute to the monster films remains one of the most iconic and quotable comedies of all time.
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974)
From the deep, dark recesses of the mind of Mel Brooks, we bring you YOUNG FRANKESTEIN, a monstrously funny homage to the classic horror films of the 1930s.
Gene Wilder stars as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (“It’s pronounced Fronkensteen!”), a brilliant young scientist who inherits his grandfather’s spooky castle in Transylvania and accidentally discovers the formula to bringing the dead back to life!
With the help of his wide-eyed assistant Igor (“That’s EYE-gor!”), cheerful lab assistant Inga, and mysterious housekeeper Frau Blücher (cue the horse whinny), Dr. Frankenstein creates a scary but lovable monster played by none other than Peter Boyle. From secret passages and talking brains to musical numbers like “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” this black-and-white spoof of old monster movies is packed with iconic moments, rapid-fire wordplay, and affectionate satire.
Also starring Madaline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, and Cloris Leachman, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is a perfect afternoon treat for classic film lovers and comedy fans alike!
Newly added! Catch Fleischer Cartoon‘s Betty Boop’s Hallowe’en Party (1933) before the feature!
Costumes are encouraged; family-friendly monsters, mad scientists, or vintage Hollywood ghouls are all welcome. Be sure to check our costume guidelines below.
