Plot: It seems that Count Dracula, in league with a beautiful but diabolical lady scientist, need a "simple, pliable" brain with which to reactivate Frankenstein's creature. The "ideal" brain belongs to the...( read more read more... ) hapless Lou Costello, whom the lady doctor woos to gain his confidence and lure him to the operating table. Lawrence Talbot, better known as the Wolf Man, arrives on the scene to warn Costello and his pal Bud Abbott of Dracula's nefarious schemes, but is he too late?

    This is quite possibly hands down the greatest comedy / Universal monster movie crossover ever to be conceived by mere mortal man!

    Even the Invisible Man shows up briefly for a cameo just for the heck of it! (and also since he was such a friggin' cheap-ass character to add in the mix during last minute script changes or something)
    Long story short, both of their puny brains are devoured then returned to sender via rectum, and neither Abbott nor Costello seem affected by this traumatic experience by the beginning of their next comedy film!

    The best crossover movie ever, too bad they couldn't talk Karloff into reprising his Frankenstein. Ever wonder that if comedy duo were still around today we'd have "Abbot and Costello Meet Jason and Freddy" or "Abbot and Costello Meet The Living Dead" oh oh or better yet "Abbot and Costello and Campbell Versus the Evil Dead"................boy do i need a life.

    It's Abbott and Costello. Humor doesn't get any better than this.

    I think I'd rather see Bud and Lou's hi-jinx over Larry, Moe, and Curly's. Sue me.

    this was such a funny movie!! wilbur kept getting spooked by just about everything. although i have to say, lon chaney was right when he said that abbot and costello ruined horror movies. it was such a ridiculous spoof!! but now that ive seen (and heard) bela lugosi in his full vampire gear, i cant help but think of that count from sesame street. theres no doubt where the influence for that one came from :):):)

    This is the world's greatest "cross-over" movie. The monsters are as threatening as they ever were in their own series, while Abbott and Costello contribute hyper-funny performances.

    I like this movie because not only do you see Abbott & Costello in all there glory, but the Universal monsters at their heyday.

    Another collection of the classic Universal monsters, this time played for laughs with Abbott and Costello. One of my all time favorites, and a pretty cool transformation scene as Dracula (Lugosi) changes into a bat and back!

    This is an Abbott and Costello movie with a twist. Lon Chaney as the Wolf Man is in town trying to find Dr. Frankenstein to see if he can cure him. Bela Lugosi as Dracula is always good to see. Dracula being manipulative as always searching for the perfect brain to give Frankenstein's Monster a better brain. Unfortunately Boris Karloff was not Frankenstein's Monster in this film. Abbott and Costello make a mess of things as usual. The surprise ending is when the Invisible Man (voiced by Vincent Price) is smoking in the boat that Abbott and Costello use to escape in. What a fun filled movie this is to watch! It gets better with each Halloween that my brother and I bring out our "Monsterfest" Collection!!!

    When I was a kid you could watch Abbott and Costello movies on Sunday afternoons on one of the local TV stations. I saw all of these and loved them, except the musical numbers, which were silly.

    Moody, creepy, and hilarious. A great blend between the two genres. Only "Bride of Frankenstein" did it better (and more subtle). Great to have all the monsters together in one place again. Some hokey and campy moments but...hey, it's Abbott & Costello. The end of an era though...as new monsters came in...the old ones had lost their shock appeal. But they are forever legends.

    Abbott and Costello met all the Universal Monsters in this one. Including a young Vincent Price as the Invisible Man! Hilarity ensures later as they are face to face with Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Wolfman (who they don't know is their friend by day!).

    Just an amazing film. Brings humor and the Frankenstein Monster, Dracula and the Wolfman all in one movie. It really doesn't get any better than that!

    The best horror comedy ever. The monsters are out to kill people off they do not just stroll around for laughs and a few scenes are genuinely scary. Abbott & Costello are in top form, too.

    Abbott and Costello are my favorite comedians of all time. Along with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin slapstick comedy is the best of all time in comedy. There will never be another Abbott and Costello or Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. They were truly one of a kind in comedy.

    if you are an abbott & costello fan...this is the movie is for you. Vincent Price makes an appearance (or lack thereof) as the Invisible Man. with Bela Lugosi as Dracula, Glenn Strange as the Frankenstein Monster and Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man

    It's old, but I love it anyway. Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein takes all of the classic monsters, with Bela Lugosi as Dracula, Glenn Strange as the Frankenstein Monster and Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man, and pits them against one another in a hysterical star-studded comedy. Even Vincent Price makes an appearance (or lack thereof) as the Invisible Man.
