In this 1974 comedy horror classic, Young Frankenstein, directed by Mel Brooks, Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, the grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, wants nothing to do with his family’s dark legacy. However, when he inherits his family’s Transylvanian estate, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to his grandfather’s work. With the help of a quirky assistant, Igor, and a beautiful lab assistant, Inga, Frederick embarks on a humorous journey of reanimation. Shot entirely in black and white, this film cleverly parodies the iconic horror genre of the 1930s, filled with hilarious moments, unexpected twists, and a memorable monster performance by Peter Boyle. Young Frankenstein remains a beloved homage to the original Frankenstein films, blending humor and horror seamlessly.
