Mel Brooks' beloved horror-comedy spoof gets the big screen treatment at The Beverly Theater, bringing Gene Wilder's manic energy and Peter Boyle's lumbering monster back to life in glorious black and white. This 1974 classic follows Dr. Frederick Frankenstein as he travels to Transylvania to claim his family's estate, only to find himself drawn into the same monster-making business that made his grandfather infamous—with predictably chaotic results.

The film's mix of slapstick, wordplay, and affectionate homage to the old Universal horror films has kept audiences laughing for decades, and watching it in a proper theater setting adds something that a living room simply can't replicate. The Beverly Theater's intimate 150-seat space and crisp acoustics make for a fitting home to revisit Wilder's frantic energy, Marty Feldman's shifting hump, and Madeline Kahn's show-stopping musical number. Whether you've seen it a dozen times or you're catching it for the first time, there's a particular pleasure in experiencing this one with a crowd who's in on all the jokes.
