From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia- Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein[a] is a 1948 American horror comedy film directed by Charles Barton. The film features Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi), who has partnered with Dr. Sandra Mornay (Lenore Aubert) in order to find a brain to reactivate Frankenstein's monster (Glenn Strange), and they find Wilbur Grey (Lou Costello), the ideal candidate. Larry Talbot makes an urgent phone call to a railway station in Florida, where Chick Young and Wilbur Grey work as baggage clerks. Talbot tries to warn Wilbur of a shipment due to arrive for "McDougal's House of Horrors". However, before he finishes, the moon rises and Talbot transforms into a werewolf, causing Wilbur to think the call is a prank. Meanwhile, McDougal demands the crates be personally delivered to his wax museum. back to me:
I am astounded I have not actually talked about this movie more often, since it is one of my favorites. It has been mentioned here and there, with trailers and such, but since Sven aired it last night here it is again. What a great movie. I was kinda sad to hear that Bud and Lou didn't want to be part of it, but at least they were mostly professional. I mean they were great in the movie. I am sure the success changed their minds about doing more such films as well. Sven really couldn't tell me much more about the movie that I didn't already know, what with seeing it for at least fiddy years.
