If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein hit the spot, these will too

Both land dread and unease at once
The difference: Played as family first

Witty and playful in the same breath

Both are built on the same subject: dracula
The difference: Without the same wit

Both keep coming back to the same thing: horror spoof
The difference: Made in the 2010s, in a different era of the craft

Both lean on dread more than on horror
The difference: 21 years apart, and the 1960s show

Common ground: black and white

The same preoccupation in both: black and white

Unsettling comedy in both cases

Dread-soaked horror, and it commits to that

Comedy with a pulse of unease, in both cases

Horror built on wit, twice over

Playful comedy in both cases
In the mood for more dread?
