Cat People -- The classic atmospheric horror film about a young newlywed who is stricken by an ancient curse that turns her into a bloodthirsty panther.

Sequel to the classic horror film "Cat People" about a lonely child who creates an imaginary playmate with surprisingly dangerous results. Simone Simon ("Cat People," "The Devil and Daniel Webster") and Kent Smith ("Cat People," "The Fountainhead") return to star in this imaginative and entertaining follow-up to the classic original. Unlike "Cat People", this film takes on more of a fantasy genre, rather than horror, and it is very successful in doing so.

Abbott and Costello, as railroad baggage clerks, receive a strange shipment - the last remains of Dracula and Frankenstein's monster. But this deadly duo is still very much alive. So when the shipment arrives at the House of Horrors, the Monsters are not in their crates but have disappeared to a secret hideaway island. Blamed for the disappearance, Abbott and Costello follow their trail to the island, where not only do they meet up with Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and the Monster (Glenn Strange), but a Mad Scientist (Charles Bradstreet) who wants to switch Costello's brain with that of the Monster. With everyone chasing each other, the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.) shows up to scare them all. In the end everything works out: Costello finds romance and the Monsters find their final resting places...or do they?

The Wolfman tries to help foil Dracula's attempts to transfer Lou's brain into the ailing Frankenstein monster.
