Summary: The most hilarious film ever!
Review: This was an excellent comedy, but a few things bother me. How is it that after being killed in "House of Dracula" Count Dracula and the Frankenstein Monster are alive? How is larry Talbot a werewolf after being cured in "House of Dracula?" The Wol Man makeup was terrible. Besides these three things, nothing spoiled the plot. Chick Young (Bud Abbot) and Wilbur Grey (Lou Costello) are delivering two crates to a wax museum. Whle Chick fixes the power, Wilbur watches as out of the crates come Count Dracula (Played by the expert Bela Lugosi)and the Frankenstein Monster (Glenn Strange). As the two escape, Wilbur and Chick are arrested. Wilbur's girlfrein Sandra (Lenoure Aubert) plans to help Dracula put Wilbur's brain in the monster.
Coming to the aid of Chick and Wilbur, Larry Talbot (once again Lon Chaney) tries to concvince them of their danger. Dracula and Sandra kidnapp Wilbur, and Talbot and Chick come to save him. At the end of the film, we learn of Dracula's fear of werewolves as he battles the Wolf Man, and witness Chick and Wilbur run from "Frankie." When Dracula and The Wolf Man fall from the balcony, this time the Wolf Man is really doomed, never appearing again. Frankenstein's creature and Dracula however, although seemingly dead, returned.

Summary: Universal brought out the best here.
Review: Universal gave their classic monsters a great swan song in this 1948 classic where Bud and Lou play customs agents who unknowningly open the shipment boxes that contain Dracula (Bele Lugosi) and the Frankenstein monster (Glenn Strange). Along comes the Wolfman (played by Lon Chaney Jr.) and a brief voice apperance by Vincent Price as the Invisable Man, and you have a great Universal horror/comdey classic that can be enjoyed by all. Screenplay by Robert Lees, Frederic I. Rinaldo, and John Grant. Produced by Robert Arthur. Directed by Charles T. Barton.

Summary: One of the greatest commentaries that exists
Review: The movie is very good, but the DVD commentary from Gregory Mank is astounding! He talks about the history of nearly every single actor - birth to death - as well the studio, the soundstages, the crew, etc. It's packed with funny little anecdotes about each of the stars (Bud and Lou, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, etc...) as well as the various costs of the setpieces and special effects, the films financial and historical results, and much more. Also included is a documentary on the making with some very rare and hilarious outtakes that Mank refers to in his commentary. Even if you hate the movie, every film fan needs to have this DVD.

Summary: Best Abbott and Costello Movie
Review: This is my favorite Abbott and Costello movie. Bela Lugosi is playing Dracula, Lon Chaney Jnr. is once again the Wolf Man and Glenn Strange is playing the Frankenstein monster for the 3rd time. The plot is that Dracula plans to put Lou's brain in Frankenstein's monster. I love that line where Lou says to Bud "Sandra is going to use my brain to make a bigger dummy out of the other dummy".It seems everyone likes this movie and I think it has some great one-liners for Lou: 1) I've got what they want Brains
2) It a little past sunset and if Dracula lives here and he's gonna be wanting breakfast and I'm fatter than you and it ain't gonna be me - it ain't gonna be me

Summary: Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein
Review: Without a doubt Abbott & Costello's best movie. This is a classic. In my view, their only movie that ranks near the classics of the Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton and Laurel & Hardy. This is a horror movie and a comedy in one. Everyone is after Lou's brain. Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney and Glenn Strange are in this.

Summary: DVD Lacks Quality Transfer....Disappointed
Review: I love this movie...unfortunately, Universal did not take the time to have a pristine print made and transfer something beautiful to DVD. Instead, they must have transferred from some old print they had in their vault, and it shows. It's no better than the VHS tape. I was shocked at how bad, how splotchy the print was. I really expected much more, like a nice beautiful print, and I was eager to see Abbott and Costello like I had never seen them before.....but no.

Summary: Universal films & fans deserve better quality transfers
Review: I have always loved this film as a kid and have collected many of these Abbott & Costello films on VHS from Universal including the entire classic monster collection. You can't imagine my dissapointment when I watched the DVD expecting to see DVD quality but instead looked at about the same quality as my VHS tape. Why? I have been a loyal customer of Universal's since I was 17. Couldn't they have done a better job on this transfer? The Frankenstein DVD looked great. I was intending to buy all of my favorite Universal classics on DVD but now, will not. Universal, your films and your fans deserve better.

Summary: A Classic Favorite!
Review: My entire family enjoys this movie, as well as the other Abbott and Costello monster flicks. Very entertaining. We have the VHS version and plan to get the DVD, as well. Fun to watch in October AND throughout the year. Even young kids can watch this.

Summary: A DVD you simply cannot pass up!
Review: Regardless of whether you have ever seen Abbott & Costello or not, this is a DVD you simply cannot pass up. I highly recommend this film because not only is it excellent, Abbott and Costello are always winners! As usual, Abbott is sarcastic and Costello is loveable and charming. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello star in this hilarious horror/comedy that has not only one but three of Universal's classic monsters: Frankenstein, Count Dracula and the Wolfman. Abbott plays Chic Young and Costello is Wilbur Grey. Both men work as baggage handlers in Florida. After a brief meeting with Wilbur's beautiful girlfriend Sandra(Lenore Aubert), Wilbur takes a mysterious phone call from Lawrence Talbot (the wonderful Lon Chaney Jr.) about two crates to be delivered to the McDougal House of Horrors. Thinking nothing of it, the eternally scared Wilbur goes about his business. When Chic and Wilbur get the crates for Mr. McDougal (Frank Ferguson) in a rather unusual manner, McDougal insists the men deliver them personally so the insurance company can inspect the deliveries. After a hilarious delivery scene, Count Dracula (the immortal Bela Lugosi) and the Frankenstein monster (Glenn Strange) escape the House of Horrors and go to the home of Dr. Sandra Mornay! Dr. Mornay and Count Dracula want Wilbur's brain so they can revive the Frankenstein monster. Added to the mix is a lovely insurance inspector, Joan Raymond (Jane Randolph) who is 'interested' in Wilbur for the purpose of her investigation. Chic simply cannot understand why so many beautiful women are in love with Wilbur! I was very pleased to see the classic stars Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi and Glenn Strange in this film. All three men were just as splendid at comedy as they were in their horror roles. I also found this movie to have some very good special effects for its time. The scene where Dracula changes from a bat to a man is excellent. Vincent Price, a true master of horror himself, appears as the voice of the Invisible Man at the end of the film. This film also has some great trivia. Lon Chaney Jr. worked as both the Wolfman and the Frankenstein monster on some scenes after Glenn Strange broke his ankle during filming. Boris Karloff also did some promotional work for the film. Check out the Internet Movie Database for more trivia! Will Dracula and Sandra get Wilbur's brain? Will Wilbur get the girl? Will Chic ever give Wilbur the respect he deserves? Get the DVD and find out!

Summary: I saw what I saw when I saw it!
Review: Producer Robert Arthur had a brainstorm when he dreamed this one up. Top-notch production values (why oh why doesn't somebody release a soundtrack CD of Frank Skinner's marvelously evocative score? --- just not conducted by William Stromberg, please!)and a cast of seasoned professionals elevate this film into TWO halls of fame: horror and comedy. Bud & Lou were never funnier (and that's saying a lot), and Lugosi refutes for all time the old charge that he couldn't play comedy. (SON OF FRANKENSTEIN should have silenced those scoffers!) This is one of the prime iconic films of my youth --- I still watch it reglarly today; and although I can quote practically the entire screenplay by heart, it still makes me laugh. Charles Barton proves himself an extremely versatile director by turning out the highwater mark Gothic-comic films.
