Join us on Wednesday 7th October for our free film showing of 'Young Frankenstein'.

“A Monster Riot” – The New York Times

Mel Brooks’ monstrously crazy tribute to Mary Shelley’s classic pokes hilarious fun at just about every Frankenstein movie ever made. Summoned by a will to his late grandfather’s castle in Transylvania, young Dr. Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) soon discovers the scientist’s step-by-step manual explaining how to bring a co**se to life. Assisted by the hunchback Igor (Marty Feldman) and the curvaceous Inga (Teri Garr) he creates a monster (Peter Boyle) who only wants to be loved. Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, and Gene Hackman co-star in this inspired vision of lunacy.
