About this Event: Often billed as the “twin titans of horror,” Karloff (the Frankenstein monster in the 1931 classic film) and Lugosi (synonymous with his title role in Dracula) were teamed for the first time in this stylish horror thriller. Bearing little resemblance to the Edgar Allan Poe story, The Black Cat has Lugosi visiting his old nemesis Karloff, who heads a devil cult in a castle nestled in the mountains near Budapest. A stranded honeymooning couple comes between the two men who have a surprising score to settle in one of the great modestly-budgeted films that distinguished Universal Pictures during the 1930s and 1940s, known subsequently as the “Universal Horrors.”
