Classic Friday : Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) 8/10

Starring : Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi
Director : Charles T Barton
Running Time : 80 mins

Chick (Abbott) and Wilbur (Costello) are hired to delivery a number of crates to a wax museum. Little do they know that the boxes contain the bodies of Count Dracula (Lugosi) and the Frankenstein monster, and that the Wolf Man (Chaney) is desperately trying to stop them from opening the boxes.

One of Abbott and Costello's better efforts, this movie paved the way for a series of monster movies with the comic duo. Sadly they don’t get any better than this one which, in spite of an awful lot of technical errors, still remains just as funny today as it was when it first got released over sixty years ago.
