Girls, Join Us Tonight At 8PM, As "Svengoolie" Presents "Black Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                   No, darlings, this has nothing to do with department stores and malls!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                   This 1940 Karloff-Lugosi team up is seldom shown, and, having not seen it, I can't tell you why.  But maybe after watching, we shall find out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                    The whole thing is a riff on the "Frankenstein" myth, with one of the leads receiving the brain of a gangster, and explaining all this, via flashback, on his way to execution.  Sounds like a barrel of laughs, right?



                                    Wrong!  It sounds more like Universal had to concoct something fast for their top two horror stars, and this is the result.  If you want to find out that result, join us.  Baby Gojira and Company will be watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                       This poster may be better than the movie, so watch out, dears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny you mention malls, we were just talking about the rise and fall of the American Mall.

Victoria, Yes, malls are becoming a thing of the past. What is left for us, I wonder? I did not get a chance to mention this on the post, but "Black Friday"
is the last film to team Karloff and Lugosi.
