Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein Movie Review Summary

Actors: Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein


The American proprietor of a house of horrors has the bodies of Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster shipped over from London for display in his museum. But they turn out not to be dead! Lawrence Talbott, aka the Wolfman (Chaney), has pursued the coffins from London to try to stop Dracula, whose plan is to revive the weakened Monster with a new brain. Chick Young and Wilbur Grey (Abbott and Costello) are freight handlers who deliver the boxes and get mixed up in the plot because the svelte doctor corralled by Dracula to perform the surgery, Dr. Sandra Mornay, decides Wilbur's brain would be perfect for the monster. Dracula and Mornay abduct Wilbur and Talbott and Chick rush to save him. But Talbott turns into the Wolfman and all three monsters go on the rampage. This 1948 film has a nice mix of Abbott and Costello verbal shtick and classic horror: the monsters and sets look good, Glenn Strange stands in for Karloff as the Monster, and Vincent Price makes a brief cameo at the end as the voice of the Invisible Man.
