Lou Costello (Louis Francis Cristillo)
The inexhaustible funnyman and lovable, bumbling duffer of legendary comedic duo Abbott and Costello. Growing up, I would watch two particular outings of theirs repeatedly: Hold That Ghost (1941) and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948).
These were taped on VHS and provided endless enjoyment, laughter and terror (Hold That Ghost has some legitimately terrifying moments even for a film that is now 77 years old and especially when I was watching it as a ten year old ;D).
Costello is hilarious, sweet, ridiculous and lovable all in one breath. The endless physical sight gags he delivers and delivers just consistently bring out loud belly laughs. His charades constantly irk Abbott, his unapologetic stoic partner in crime and hilarity, and the antics they create between them are timeless.
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is the real Van Helsing...forget all that CGI from 2004...in 1948, you had Lon Chaney Jr as the Wolfman and Bela Lugosi as Dracula with Frankenstein's Monster (unfortunately no Boris Karloff for this outing) all sparring with Abbott and Costello in a tour de force.
The cache is located in Epping Park. Depending on your approach, you'll either have an easy stroll across the oval or a bit of bush bash. Coordinates will waver a bit under the tree cover. GZ is slippery. Cache contains log only, please BYO pen. Enjoy and L'chaim!
"Heeeeeyyy, Abbott!!"
