In the early '40s, the burlesque team of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello kept the studio's coffers full. When the two franchises were combined in 1948, the result was another windfall--despite the apparent oil-and-water mix of subject matter. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein was the first of these summit meetings, although the title is a misnomer. Actually, Bud and Lou bump into most of the Universal heavy-hitters, including Count Dracula (played by Béla Lugosi himself), the Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.), and the Frankenstein monster (veteran monster Glenn Strange). There's even a token appearance by the Invisible Man, whose disembodied voice is recognizable as that of Vincent Price. Sure enough, the film is funny, especially since it gives the portly Costello multiple opportunities to do his wide-eyed, quivering scaredy-cat routine. Audiences ate it up, and in future installments Bud and Lou would run into Boris Karloff, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the Invisible Man, and the Mummy. But the first was the best. --Robert Horton Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Can't rate what i don't have.. I ordered this dvd from another seller listed with Amazon. I ordered this dvd on Oct. 19th. To date i still have not received it. I have sent several emails to the seller and to Amazon and have had no contact from the seller yet. I will never order from a seller listed with Amazon again. If i can't get it directly from Amazon, then i guess i just don't need it. Rating: - "Soon the moon will be out and I'll turn into a wolf." "You and 20 million other guys!" Before GHOSTBUSTERS there was ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN! The last harrah for the original Universal monsters -- not to be seen until the Hammer revival a decade later. Amazingly, despite his identification with Count Dracula, Lugosi only played the character in the 1931 original and this movie. Glenn Strange (best remembered as the bartender of the Long Branch in the tv series GUNSMOKE) returns as the Monster, Lon Chaney Jr as Larry Talbot, the Wolfman. Never mind why he is after ...

Also many people don't know this movie made the most money for Universal that year. Some much for smart executives who said old monsters and comedians are washed up. Rating: - Another Universal classic! I enjoyed the movie, again, and the special features, which I hadn't seen before. While a comedy, as best I can remember, this was the last movie to feature the classic monsters with traditional actors playing them. Rating: - good Abbott and Costello This movie is a bit dated, but it's always fun to watch Abbott and Costello. see more Browse for similar items by category: By Theme - Comedy - Genres - VHS - Video - Nothing Goes Right By Year - Comedy - Genres - VHS - Video - 1940-1949 Classic Comedies - Comedy - Genres - VHS - Video - Slapstick Classic Comedies - Comedy - Genres - VHS - Video - General AAS Comedy - Genres - VHS - Video - Slapstick
