Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

Abbott and Costello meet frankenstein movie poster
It's a comedy, but it scared the hell outta me when I saw it as a little kid. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein teams up the classic comedy duo of Abbott and Costello with classic movie monsters.


They run into Frankenstein (actually, Frankenstein's monster), Dracula and the Wolfman. I wasn't scared of the Wolfman, as he was kind of an animal, and I partly wanted to be a wolf. Dracula never scared me either, as I was pretty sure my cross on a chain would protect me. Plus, they didn't like garlic, and my mom's cooking as pretty garlic-intensive.

No, I was freaked out by Frankenstein. Even though I laughed at those two bumbling idiots, and laughed harder at silly faces and slapstick routines.

Woah, according to Wikipedia, the cast had several pie fights during the production. Sounds like fun, as long as the pies were plain cream pies. My concern would be if they were piping hot apple or cherry pies... straight out of the oven, pie filling is as bad as napalm- and I think there's been enough napalm dumped on the world.

Is this a good movie? It's a nostalgic one for me, one of those weekend movies that plays on cable, chewing up time before the main sporting event. Still, it's classic comedy, and it's the heavy foundation for American humour. Embrace it!

I loved that movie Cibbuano, and it still tickles me to watch it. Raven

Good flick for kids.
Silly but not too funny.
