A lot of fun! Very informative with great graphics. I learned some great trivia about Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein that I never knew. Here's something about that movie maybe you didn't know: during production, Lon Chaney, Jr picked Bela Lugosi up by the collar in a tift over who was the better Dracula.

Ha! Had not heard that one but it is fun to picture it. :) Thanks for the kind words, we had LOTS o fun making the Ghouly Irv vids, and we have quite a few more if you check out our channel & see the MovieFrightFare playlist.

if you shut off the sound,it's like watching a Kiss tribute band.

Ghouly Irv does like to think of himself as "King of the Night Time World"...

Very good Vid! I have the short cut from Dr. Cyclops on 8mm Film.

Thanks much for watching & writing in! Wow, 8mm...that takes us back. I (the man behind the Ghouly One's camera) remember having the 8mm shorts...my friend had one for "Alien" that included the chest-burster scene. And I remember the days when we used to browse the early video stores and just talk about how we'd love to own the BOX, forget about the movie (cause we figured that could NEVER happen)...
