The Frankenstein monster takes center stage for a trio of old-school horror flicks that will run on separate Shocktober evenings to prepare viewers for Halloween. First up is the double bill of the 1931 Universal classics
Frankenstein (starring a neck-bolted
Boris Karloff) and
Dracula (with
Bela Lugosi as the famed sawtooth), to be presented in 35mm prints on Saturday, Oct. 26, 2:30 and 7 p.m., at Rome’s
Capitol Theatre, 220 W. Dominick St. The 7 p.m. screenings also feature a live-onstage spook show hosted by “The Ghostmaster.” Admission is $6 for adults, $2 for children under 12; call 337-6453. Also on Saturday, the “Brew & View” film series at Eastwood’s
Palace Theatre, 2384 James St., continues with a 35mm screening of the 1943 Universal monster rally
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, which pairs Lugosi with
Lon Chaney Jr. The campy musical
The Rocky Horror Picture Show follows at midnight. Admission is $10; dial 436-4723. And the 1948 comedy classic
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (pictured) offers horror hilarity with Bud and Lou and Bela and Lon, to be presented on Monday, Oct. 28, 7:30 p.m., by the
Syracuse Cinephile Society at the
Spaghetti Warehouse, 680 N. Clinton St. Admission is $3.50, with a dinner menu available; call 475-1807 for details.
