GGACP Rewind: Episode #22: Bela Lugosi Jr. and Sara Karloff

Gilbert and Frank celebrate the lives and careers of horror icons Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff with the help of their devoted offspring, Bela Lugosi Jr. and Sara Karloff. First up, the “Son of Dracula” recalls visiting the set of “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” as a child and points out what the movie “Ed Wood” got wrong about his famous dad. Then, author and historian Sara Karloff looks back on her father's most indelible roles, from The Frankenstein Monster to The Mummy to The Grinch—and tells us why her dad referred to Halloween as his “busy season." PLUS: Karloff dances on “The Red Skelton Show”! Lugosi passes up the role of a lifetime! Sara meets the “Son of Gilbert”! And Bela Jr. takes a stand for The Three Stooges!
