Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

Scary Sunday takes us back to an unlikely meeting of Hollywood stars. Hoping to use the studio’s most popular stars to rekindle interest in their monster properties, Universal brought the comedic duo into the world of Dracula (Béla Lugosi), Frankenstein’s Monster (Glenn Strange), and the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.) bringing back the actors who had made the monsters popular. Despite concerns about the script from everyone involved, and the less than cordial relationship between Abbot and Costello, the film became one of Universal’s biggest hits leading to further misadventures of the duo with the Universal Monsters.

Bob's Burgers - Fort Night

Scary Sunday takes us back to the second Halloween episode of Bob’s Burgers featuring Gene (Eugene Mirman), Louise (Kristen Schaal), and Tina (Dan Mintz) getting trapped in their (admittedly awesome) cardboard fort on Halloween night along with Andy (Laura Silverman), Ollie (Sarah Silverman), and Daryl (Aziz Ansari) missing their chance to go trick-or-treating. Concentrating on making the kids a dragon costume, it takes quite some time for Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and Linda (John Roberts) to notice the kids aren’t around.

Family Guy - Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Cheater

The Family Guy Halloween episode “Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Cheater” fits the show’s formula with Peter (Seth MacFarlane) doing something stupid (here breaking his neighbor’s pumpkin while attempting to steal it) without a reason or a plan, and a B-story of Stewie (MacFarlane) doing something crazy (here bringing his teddy bear to life to replace Brian after the pair have their latest tiff). Both stories have a Fall theme, although its ready just Halloween-ish trappings for the characters to get into their usual shenanigans.

A trip to the Drive-In on its closing night provides misadventures for the entire family. Fueled by the nostalgia of a visit as a kid, Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) becomes obsessed with a half-assed on-the-fly attempt to save the theater (unaware the owner wants to sell and retire). Gene (Eugene Mirman) and Louise (Kristen Schaal) get into their own trouble getting into Tina‘s (Dan Mintz) candy before she was ready to share. And, not to be left out, Linda (John Roberts) attempts to gossip on a text chain backfire and lead to a freak-out for most of the night.

My Old Ass

If given the opportunity to talk to your younger self, what advice would you give? I wasn’t expecting much from this comedy about a teenager meeting her future self while high on mushrooms. Variations of this premise have been done before, but rarely, if ever, as well. Under the fantastical premise, there’s something quite real about growing up and making realizations about yourself, your life, and understanding what you are leaving behind.
