    • Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein A small town sits at the base of a craggy mountain. on which a narrow, craggy road winds its way up to the forbidding castle at the top, eerily illuminated by a full moon. The house lights go down, and the title card appears over the scene: Young Frankenstein! Overall: an _excellent_ show, and we got to see it _first_ (nyeah-nyeah)! ➡

Pretty amazing. ➡
