Universal Pictures made a great deal of money from its monster movies in the 1930s. 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

This movie is a bit dated, but it's always fun to watch Abbott and Costello.

One of the very first movies I remember seeing as a very young boy was Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein on Million Dollar Movie on WOR-TV, Channel 9 in New York, in the early '60's. I was so enthralled with this movie, that as I got older, it easily became my favorite A&C movie...followed by Keep 'Em Flying...
This movie never fit into the continuity of the other Universal "Monster" films, as the Wolfman had actually been cured in 1945 in The House of Frankenstein. But how wonderful ... Read More

Chris Farley & David Spade.
Eddie Murphy & Judge Reinhold.
Steve Martin & Dan Ackroyd.
These names, coupled together, are synonymous with comedy. Without giving anything other than a name, scenes of cultish comedy will come to mind or perhaps you will even chuckle as you read this due to a flash memory of another great comedy duo doing what they do best - making us laugh. I had the unique opportunity to discover a new comedy duo that, if released in theaters today, would ... Read More
