The Curse of Frankenstein
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Framed as a late-night TV airing of an old horror picture, the sketch sends host Hugh Laurie's head villager and a torch-carrying mob to a castle door, where Bill Hader's unmistakably green monster calmly redirects them across the moor. There they find Jason Sudeikis's Dracula, who hears their description of a tall green man with bolts in his neck and tells them that can only be Frankenstein's monster. Back at the first castle, the monster treats every accusation as a personal insult, passing off his bolts as an old childhood injury, complaining about name-calling and prejudice and presenting himself as a shoemaker and family man, until the embarrassed villagers apologize and he refuses to accept it.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
I'm Dracula. See? Cape. Fangs. Widow's peak.
Oh, great. Thanks a lot. I almost forgot about that spinal injury I had when I was four years old.
Oh, great. Now it's a racial thing.
The rabbit hole continues
One more couldn’t hurt.
