Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
Abbott and Costello get to meet not one, but three supernatural creatures in one movie as baggage handlers who deliver the “remains” of Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and Frankenstein’s Monster (Glenn Strange) to McDougal’s House of Horrors, where the Wolfman (Lon Chaney) is also on the scene. Rated PG.
In a truly over-the-top plot, Abbott and Costello get to meet not one, but three supernatural creatures in one movie! As two baggage handlers, they deliver the “remains” of Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster to McDougal’s House of Horrors. The monster is weak after the journey, but Dracula is there to help him find a new brain to regain his strength. Costello is abducted for this purpose and Abbott has to find him before it’s too late. Who arrives on the scene to help thwart Dracula’s plan? The Wolfman himself! The cast includes Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi and Glenn Strange as the monsters. The film was preserved in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2001 for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” Rated PG.
