The Arcata Theatre Lounge is stitching together two monster movies this week for your pre-Halloween pleasure. On Sunday, Oct. 26, from 5 to 8 p.m., Mel Brooks’ black-and-white masterpiece Young Frankenstein lurches back to life with Gene Wilder, Cloris Leachman and all your favorite one-liners ($8, $12 w/poster). Then on Wednesday, Oct. 29, from 6 to 9 p.m., things get gothic with James Whale’s The Bride of Frankenstein, celebrating 90 years of high drama and even higher hair ($6, $10 w/poster). Both screenings come with pre-show entertainment and raffles. Brooks for laughs, Whale for lightning-lit glamour. Pick your monster or catch both.
