Friday night stuff

Greenbriar Picture Shows has yet another amazing post up. This time, a look at "The Pair That Curled Your Hair", Dracula and Frankenstein!
"...For seven years after their initial release in 1931, showmen regarded them separately. Playdates were infrequent as Universal provided sequels (Bride Of Frankenstein, Dracula's Daughter) beginning right where originals left off, but there were gold deposits untapped even as the mine's route lay not hidden, but in plain sight. The magic was in combining them, but nobody thought of that until seemingly bungled reissues of Frankenstein and Dracula suddenly caught fire together in August 1938..."
