Summary: Solid laughs in first A&C Monster film
Review: OK, this film is a guilty pleasure for me. Yes, it's funny but since the Frankenstein/Dracula/Wolfman pictures had become parodies of their originals by this time, that's not necessarily saying a lot. What works for A&C Meet...is the writing and performances by all the principles. Lugosi and Chaney are quite adept at playing their roles for laughs. Poor Glenn Strange as the ailing Monster isn't given much to do. In fact, by the time Strange took on the role the Monster was little more than an after thought tacked on to the conclusion. This is the best of the A&C Meets films. The direction is pretty tight and the picture quality on the DVD crisp and vivd. The audio commentary and other extras weren't just thrown together. All in all this is an entertaining way to spend an evening with the kids. It's still pretty funny 50 years on. Lou Costello's slow burn reactions are classic. There wasn't a better straight man than Bud Abbott (although the Monster came pretty darn close in this film).

Summary: The Monster Reunion Begins!!
Review: In this comedy and part horror classic, Chick Young (Bud Abbott) and Wilbur Grey (Lou Costello) are box office workers who deliver crates of Count Dracula and Frankenstein to MacDougall's House of Horrors, and that is where Wilbur is hypnotized and where the two monsters escape. MacDougall takes Chick and Wilbur into custody, only to be freed by a lady who is investigating the disappearince of the monsters. Suddenly, the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney) comes along, and turns into the Wolf Man shortly after Costello locks his door. So as you can see, I don't want to tell the rest except that this is a wonderful monster reunion (except the Wolf Man goes against Dracula and Frankenstein), and I think that if you like horror with Abbott and Costello, see this.

Summary: A good movie
Review: This is a normal Abbot and Costello movie, basically they have to deliver a package for a man and in the crates is Count Dracula played by Hungarian Star Bela Lugosi. and frankenstein and more. Nuff siad

Summary: Priceless Commentary Track
Review: I've got a ton of DVD's but this is the best commentary track I've ever heard, courtesy of film historian Gregory Mank. Buy this DVD for that alone and you won't be disappointed. When Greg tells the story of how the aged female costar was accosted in her nursing home by a fan wanting her to autograph an old photo, it'll break your heart. She signed the photo with the word "help."

Summary: Simply the best horror comedy of all time.
Review: A great horror comedy in that A&C do their act and the horror is straight, which results in a great "brew". Lugosi and Chaney perform their Dracula and Wolfman roles with veteran expertise. Costello plays off them with expert timing. A joy over many views and on many levels.

Summary: AN ALL-TIME CLASSIC!
Review: This was the film that had me eagerly watching The Abbott & Costello Movie each week as a kid...praying that this would be the one aired. What a classic that works on so many levels. It's funny! It's scary! It's nostalgic! And most importantly it treats all of the Universal Monsters seriously! The movie does not make Dracula, Frankenstein, or the Wolf-Man cartoons an buffoons...Bud and Lou rightfully handle that aspect. The DVD is overall a nice presentation complete with trailers, production notes and photos, a "Making of..." featurette, and an outstanding audio-commentary by film historian Gregory Mank. I loved this commentary because it includes a little bit of everything: how much did each actor make on the film, what were the actors like to work with, where did they go after making this film, where are they today, and how were aspects of this film made. You can tell that Mank did plenty of research before recording this commentary. If you want to laugh, then check out Abbott and Costello and the monsters in one of the all-time classics from Universal. If you're a real fan of the Lon Chaney Wolf-Man character you may want to read the incredibly fun book by Jeff Rovin, The Return of the Wolf-Man which picks up right where this movie concludes.

Summary: A Perfect Comedy!
Review: This is a perfect comedy. Abbott & Costello are at the peak of their powers and are able to spoof the monster stars without humiliating them. Bela Lugosi is the true star of the film and plays it straight against the comedy for wonderful effect. This is the only time he played Dracula other than the 1931 film and here he actually gets to talk and interact with actors who have some life in them. The sets and effects are great-- even by today's standards. Lugosi really shines in his final major motion picture.

Summary: Hey Abbott.....This is a great movie
Review: The funniest and best of Abbott and Costello's movies. The combination of the two comedians and the great "monsters" of the day, Dracula, The Wolfman and Frankenstein's monster make for a spooky, hilarious premise. The very idea that anyone would want to steal Lou Costello's brain is a hoot. The acting, writing and directing are all top notch.

Summary: Universal Pulls Out All The Stops - Great DVD!
Review: The DVD of Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein is as good as it gets! Huge kudos for Universal in their loving treatment of this title. The commentary track is excellent - one of the most thorough I have had the pleasure to listen to. A must have for all Abbott and Costello fans. I can only say how disappointed I was that Universal didn't give "Abbott and Costello Meet The Mummy" the same platinum treatment. I do hope that when they finally decide to release "Hold That Ghost" - my personal favorite - that they give it the same kind of attention paid to this great DVD.

Summary: Dated but excellent
Review: The best of A&C's "Meets" movies, it remains funny despite its decidedly dated comedy style. Plays fast and loose with the established monster rules -- the wolfman is back despite being cured in 'House of Dracula,' and Dracula casts a reflection -- but in addition to the humor it's notable for being only the second time Lugosi played Dracula, despite all the money he made for Universal in the 1931 original, 17 years earlier!
