CibbuanoAbbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

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!

Silly but not too funny.
