October Horror, Day 1: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948, Charles Barton). Finally getting around to this one (which might be a big theme in this year's picks). It's definitely a mixed bag, with Costello at the top, Lon Chaney Jr following, and everyone and everything else in some order below them. Abbott just kind of disappears into the rest of the non-monster cast for the most part, as there's not much for him to do and Costello has so many others to play off of.
Lugosi suffers from a similar issue as Abbott, just on the monster side.
It seemed like this, more than any of the other monster team-ups and mash-ups, was the basis for The Monster Squad.
Some charming effects and enough laughs to make this solid seasonal viewing.

October Horror, Day 12: Dead of Night (1945, dir. Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden, and Robert Hamer), Dead of Night (1977, dir. Dan Curtis), and After Midnight (1989, dir. Ken Wheat and Jim Wheat).

October Horror, Day 12: Dead of Night (1945, dir. Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden, and Robert Hamer), Dead of Night (1977, dir. Dan Curtis), and After Midnight (1989, dir. Ken Wheat and Jim Wheat). Three horror anthologies, two with the same name. And yet the '45 Dead of Night and After Midnight are much closer to one another, having a very similar wraparound conceit, while the '77 Dead of Night is a TV Movie with no wraparound. As is the general rule with horror anthologies, these are all mixed bags in terms of quality. For the '45 Dead, the ventriloquist dummy one is maybe the most famous, but I really liked the wraparound story the best. For the '77 one l'd assume the final story, one of many variations on The Monkey's Paw, is the most well-regarded given the cover art. But the opener about a time-traveling car has an interesting twist. And, finally, I would say After Midnight peaks with the opening part of its wraparound (which I don't want to give away), but the second story about a couple who wind up at a haunted house has an entertainingly nasty ending.

the fundamental problem of civilization is that humanity's highest calling is Hanging Out With Friends, but a small minority of humans are maniacally driven to control everyone else because no one wants to hang out with them

This is really savvy. Exploiting at the hysteria over the ascendance of a grifter who clearly knows how to accept money from donors and farm rage bait and who's not afraid to take on any opposition with DARVO and the power of her benefactors.
