"You'll Have to Stay the Night": Hollywood's Greatest Haunted House Comedies w/ Rupert Holmes and Dino Proserpio
2Description
Frank ushers in Halloween week by welcoming film preservationist Dino Proserpio and bestselling author and Tony-winning composer-playwright Rupert Holmes for an illuminating analysis of some of Hollywood's spookiest (and silliest) haunted house comedies, including "The Ghost Breakers," "The Cat and the Canary," "Scared Stiff," "Beetlejuice" and "Hold That Ghost" (as well as lesser-known films featuring The Bowery Boys, The Little Rascals and The Three Stooges). Also in this episode: Bela Lugosi meets Ish Kabibble, Woody Allen "borrows” from Bob Hope, William Castle remakes "The Old Dark House" and Rupert takes a swipe (or two) at "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken." PLUS: “Munster, Go Home”! "The Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow"! The Ingmar Bergman of porn! Dino defends "Transylvania 6-5000"! And Rupert reveals why "revenge movies" are the easiest movies to write!
