Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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

I love this thing and watch it every Halloween. It's campy fun and really a hoot to see all these old, serious horror characters bumbling about in true comic Keystone Cops fashion. My kids love it also, and I don't think anything that's well done ever ages. Great stuff!

This is a must for the Halloween movie buff. My daughters grew up watching this one on VHS. The B&W movie fans will appreciate it's clear picture on DVD.
Fun for the entire family, although, my daughters always reminded me there are some scary parts....but isn't that the point?
Patiently awaiting my next shipment of classics from Amazon.

Classic Abbott and Costello. Never get tired of watching although Ive seen this movie many times over the years. Now my older kids are hooked and enjoy watching A&C classics. This ones a must for your classic movie collection.

It has been said in other forums relating to this movie, but the reason this movie works, even for non A&C fans is because the monsters play it straight. Fortunately, the writers didn't have the monsters reciting goofy lines or tried turning them into a comedy team. They were smart enough to leave that to the brilliance of Abbott & Costello and let the monsters do what they do best ... be monsters. I have everything that A&C have ever done but if I could only own one of their performances, this would ... Read More

This movie is a great classic! Abbott & Costello are two of my favorite actors, and funny they are! I was pleased with the quality of the movie, and the price was great too. I had been looking for this movie for a while and in checking out amazon for the first time, I got to see the wide range of movies that they carry, so now I know where to search for items that may be hard to find.
Thank-you amazon
