THE FORD presents a triptych of screen classics ideal for the Halloween season. Oct. 27 brings the National Theatre Live Masterpiece production of Frankenstein, based on the Mary Shelley novel, directed by Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle and starring Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch. Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, Oct. 30—with Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd and Scatman Crothers—is considered one of the greatest horror films of all time. Mel Brooks’ hilarious cult classic Young Frankenstein, Oct. 31, is among the greatest comedies, a surreal parody of the horror staple with Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr and Peter Boyle. Young Frankenstein’s 50th anniversary presentation includes pre-show entertainment and other goodies. Costumes are encouraged, dress to kill! 2580 Cahuenga Blvd. E., 323.850.2000, theford.com
