Abbott and Costello were one of the great comedy teams and they were at their best in this film. A chicken Costello and only slightly
less chicken Abbott plus Frankenstein and the supernatural equals lots of laughs and lots of fun.
They made several "meet the asorted monster and ghost" type comedies, but this is far and away the best of the bunch. You will love
it and so will your kids.

Abbott and Costello were especially good comedians. However, their box office popularity was slipping a little before this film was made. For all practical purposes, this film created the Comedy-Horror genre. The Abbott and Costello characters played their parts like comedians; the monsters played their parts straight. The film features veteran horror actors from Universat Studios -- Glenn Strange aas the Frankenstein Monster, Lon Chsaney, Jr., as The Wolfman, and Bela Lugosi as the definitive ... Read More

I know I'm showing my age, but I first saw this when it came out in 1948. Dopes whose intentions are well meant, but come out heroes in the end. The wolfman(lon Chaney, Jr.), and Dracula(Bela Lugosi)set the tone for our current monster movies. Viewed best if the viewer will try and
imagine this genre in the 40's when most of the monster films were B & W. There are some great comedic lines in this movie that will live forever.

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
