Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with a Sylvester and Tweety Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1954 Friz Freleng directed, Satan's Waiting:
The cartoon's plot was later reworked nine years later as the Bugs Bunny cartoon Devil's Feud Cake, although unlike this cartoon Devil's Feud Cake re-uses footage from previous cartoons.
We are moving back to our usual broadcast facilities and out of the Jonnet Building, high above Monroeville, PA. we just couldn't take the high life there. This week the ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour thought we'd go back to an old favorite of our, the 1944 Universal horrow film, The House of Frankenstein, the somewhat sequel of Frankstein Meets the Wolf Man. The film has the first appearance of all three major Universal Monsters together in one film, albeit they don't all share screen time. Dracula is "killed" before the Wolf Man is revived. And even though the monsters all seem to meet their end in this film, they all return for the 1945 sequel, House of Dracula. So as we are want to do, why don't you pop an extra bag or two of popcorn, get on your PJs and get comfortable, while The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour get ready to have you spend an evening with Dracula, the Wolf Man and the Frankenstein Monster in The House of Frankenstein.
Glenn Strange was the fourth actor to play the Monster in Universal's Frankenstein series. The actor who played the original Monster, Boris Karloff, was also present in the film, playing the role of Dr. Niemann. Being on the set, Karloff was able to personally coach Strange in the way the Monster should be played.
Demand Euphoria!
