Review of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) by Dann M — 30 Nov 2016

Legendary comedy duo Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein in is this lighthearted goofball comedy. The story follows two hapless delivery clerks who unwittingly stumble across Dracula's scheme to unlock the secrets of Frankenstein's Monster while transporting some crates to a local horror museum.

Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi, and Glenn Strange all return and reprise their Universal Monster characters. And the film does a surprisingly good job at being comedic without making fun of the Monsters.

Abbott and Costello performer their usual vaudeville comedy routines while the Monsters deliver the mayhem. The plot's a little weak, but overall Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is a hilariously fun romp that's full of laughs.
