Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (reissued years later as The Boys from Brooklyn) is a 1952 American comedy horror science fiction film, directed by William Beaudine and starring horror veteran Bela Lugosi with nightclub performers Duke Mitchell and Sammy Petrillo in roles approximating the then-popular duo of Martin and Lewis.

He later conducts a similar experiment on one of the entertainers, transforming the man into a gorilla.
