Показать описание
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is a Universal International film from 1948 features Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, and even a glimpse of the Invisible Man. In Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, the remains of Frankenstein and Dracula are being sent to a house of horrors, and Chick and Wilbur (Abbott and Costello) have to personally deliver them.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein stars Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Jr, and Glenn Strange. It has behind the scenes stories for days, including temper tantrums and pie fights.

For some, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein sullies the reputation of the Universal Monsters, but many others consider it their favorite movie. You'll have to watch to find out my opinion!

Funniest line -- and one of the greats of ANY movie:
Chaney, forlorn: "When the moon comes out...I turn into a wolf."
Costello: "You and twenty million other guys..."

This film introduced me to both Bud Abbott and Lou Costello AND the Universal Monsters. This was back in the late 1960s, so I became highly interested in these new-found ‘friends’. I was about 8 or 9 at the time. All of them (A&C and the monsters) have remained in my heart ever since.

So glad Bela came back for this one. He honestly played a better Dracula here than in 1931

I just watched this again last week and still lol’d at the gag where they block the door and then it opens out instead of in

"Ah, you young people today. Making the most of life. While it lasts..." Dracula talking to Wilbur.

Interesting trivia: Lon Chaney Jr was stand in for Glenn Strange as the Frankenstein monster in one brief scene.
(Chaney played the monster in The Ghost of Frankenstein.)

I enjoy this movie. My favorite part is seeing the very cool animation of the bat transforming into Dracula. That visual was awesome.

It is my favorite abbott and Costello movie .I watch it every Halloween along with the universal movie monster classics. Ivlove your channel Antonia you look like and have all of the qualities of your aunt Carla. I never met her but I always loved seeing her being interviewed on old movie documentaries. She would be so proud of you and uncle Carl and Jr would be proud of you too. Keep up the great work. Maybe someday you can buy universal back and the lemle family can run it right for a change . The way the movie biz is going the whole industry is going down the toilet faster than a greased up turd .

It’s what no one can capture about the Munsters anymore. There’s a Vaudevillian component to Universal Horror that only the true physical comedians understand…

Nicely done Antonia! I’m also looking forward to you doing more of the women of Universal horror ie: Evelyn Ankers and Julia Adams.

Favorite line:
Abbott: Now, listen. Listen, you know there's no such a person as Dracula, I know there's no such a person as Dracula . . .
Costello: Bud does Dracula know it?

Yes! I totally agree!
Funniest line -- and one of the greats of ANY movie:

Also, when Chic is talking to Lenore Aubert about her attraction/interest In Lou and says "I don't get it" and Lenore says and " You never will" Nice bit of sexual Fun!

Love Your Channel!
