And then just a decade later Son, after humanity had gotten repeatedly punched in the face by WWII and less than 20 years after Dracula & Frankenstein hit, they're already seen as being so laughable that Abbott and Costello have a field day with them in 1948.

And... Ms Costello.
Fleetwood Mac: actually happened. Elvis Costello: hasn’t so far.
In the late 70s, I saw all kinds of punk and new wave bands came thru there too: Ramones, Sex Pistols, Patti Smith, The Police, U2, Elvis Costello, Mink DeVille, The Cramps, Iggy, Talking Heads, Dead Kennedys, REM y mas. All of em stopped in while rolling coast to coast. Tickets were like ~$10.
Two weeks from today, two theaters in LA will have screenings of ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN that will overlap each other for a half hour. I now predict that's when the Big One will hit.
