When cheapskate producer Hal, unscrupulous director Morty, and rudderless screenwriter Freddie join forces on their next B movie, they hatch a plan to resurrect the Greatest Monster of Them All: old 30s horror legend Ernst Von Croft. Von Croft is committed—perhaps a little too committed—to his comeback role. Freddie is happy just to have a job. Hal’s eager to make a quick buck. And Morty has a “comedic” film trick up his sleeve that no one expects. But after Von Croft is devastated by a humiliating screening, will he end up having the last laugh? Or . . . will we?
