Good scares too, as you pointed out.<br /><br />Jose, your comment brought back a lot of nostalgic memories for me. Where would any of us be without wise old family members who introduced us to the good stuff? As for playing it straight, those really are the best of the horror comedies--this is why I also think ROTLD works so well.B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-24014017081880680592012-12-07T16:55:25.600-05:002012-12-07T16:55:25.600-05:00Man, I have great memories of my grandparents gett...Man, I have great memories of my grandparents getting this from Blockbuster for us to watch for a sleepover there. I actually think this was the first time I saw any of the Universal monsters in film and it was so much fun. I never considered the point you brought up about the monsters "playing it straight" before... how refreshing that would be to integrate into contemporary horror comedies.<br /><br />Also, when I saw this link come up, the very first thing that came to my mind was the quote you started the review with. Cracks me up every single time.

And there was terror, as well- think of the monster throwing that woman out the window, or end up being burnt alive...<br />The only A&C film I can stand, and I think it's a cinematic treasure.
