REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., Oct. 22, 2002
This is one of the best of all the Abbott and Costello features. The pairs meet up not only with Frankenstein, but also the Wolfman, Count Dracula, and the Invisible Man. It's a giddy blend of horror and comedy. This outdoor Halloween event for the whole family is co-sponsored by the Austin Film Society, the Saturday Morning Fun Club, and the Alamo Drafthouse. Concessions will be available, or bring your own food (no glass containers, though). Gates open at 6:15pm. Bring your own lawn chairs. (Rain date: Sunday (10/27), 7pm, Alamo Drafthouse Downtown)
