Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

Comedy classic that merges the Universal monsters brilliantly with some witty humor and fun performances. The cast is superb, with Abbott & Costello their usual excellence as the leads, while Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney Jr. bring gravitas to their monster roles. Behind the camera, director Charles Barton delivers a fun movie that wisely treats the monsters seriously while leaving the comedy to Abbott and Costello. He crafts some hilarious sketches and keeps the pace moving fast. All in all, one of the best horror comedies ever.

Here is the original multiverse crossover event of the decade!

3.5 stars. Easily my favorite Abbott and Costello movie, and it ranks up there with all the Universal creature movies in entertainment value. I thought it was a neat blend of comedy and horror. It contains an all-star cast minus Boris Karloff (who turned down the Frankenstein monster role), although Glenn Strange is a veteran of horror and other movies and played the Frankenstein monster in "The House of Dracula." Considering it was mostly a comedy, Lon Chaney, Jr., and Bela Lugosi gave admirably serious performances playing the Wolf Man and Dracula.

The best and most famous of Abbott and Costello's movies. This has an all star cast as well. Featuring Glenn Strange as Frankenstein's Monster, Lon Chaney Jr. being The Wolf Man once more, and Bela Lugosi returning to the role of Count Dracula.

Classic movie. The monsters are great. Loved this as a kid

This was the funniest horror movie I've seen. It definitely wasn't that scary, but it had a few tiny scary moments

Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein is an amazing movie. I finished it just now so it is fresh in my head. Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein was a really funny movie, and guess what? I LOVE comedy!!! I think that this movie was one of the first crossover movies ever. Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein was also a really interesting movie. I just watched Dracula, and the same Dracula actor was in the movie. He looked much much older than he did in 1931. What a good movie. I give this a 74%.

Amusing, Harmless. With nice old school horror sets, Classic Universal monsters battle it out. And wackiness ensues.

One of the best horror-comedy of all time is really fun and outrageously very funny and fun to see your favorite loveable Universal Monsters.

How fun it is to see these older movies on the big screen. The physical humor and the subtleties come through strongly. And while in some A&C movies, Abbott is really mean to Costello, here the monsters take up so much of the action that the boys are more of a team. This is a great one to see with the whole family. One of A&C's movies that holds up best.
