This saved Universal Pictures from bankruptcy. True story tbh with you.

Perfect combination of horror and comedy! Double treat!

Fantastic mix comedy and gothic horror together make really good 5 star entertainment.

I've always loved this movie, but I appreciate it even more now since I saw an interview with Bela Lugosi, wherein someone asked him what he'd like to do besides horror, and Lugosi said he wanted to do comedy. I hope he had fun making this. ☺️

The perfect combination of comedy and horror with one not overlapping with the other

The actor who played Frankenstein in this film (and 2 others) was Glenn Strange -- more famous as the bartender Sam at Miss Kitty's Long Branch Saloon in the CBS-TV series Gunsmoke. In the Frankenstein role in this Abbott & Costello classic, Glenn was personally coached privately by the original Frankenstein monster Boris Karloff.

When marketing toys & games with the Frankenstein image it's often the Glenn Strange version that's used. So much so, that when Boris Karloff's obituary appeared in The New York Times they erroneously printed a picture of the Glenn Strange creature.

Glenn also appeared in several John Wayne films & a few other Abbott & Costello films.

So Lou faked that he had been hypnotized to get Dracula to leave him alone!!! Wow!!!! Awesome!!!!

[hotrod]

I love this show brings a lot of memories back. Has a kid.

[Fakan]

Still makes me laugh after so many years. The Monster's reaction to Wilbur is my dad's favorite part and makes him laugh to the point of tears. =)

[JosephStately]

One of my favorites from this great comedy team.

Despite being most famous for playing Dracula this was only the second time Bela played him.

[solarguy]

This was on LA TV all the time when we were young. My brother and I knew all the dialogue.

"The Monster"doesn't wake up on his own.."Dracula"wakes him up by using his evil cursed ring.

[taotzu]

2:36 The funniest part was when Frankie saw Lou and was freaked out. LOL

[Brotherleoofchrist]

1:48 m- master yes.. For some reason that part had me dying

[mcgannahanskyjellyfetti]

*FUN FACT:* This was actually the ONLY movie Bela Lugosi ever reprised his role of Dracula...
