B-Monster review
The monsters, particularly The Wolf Man, are ridiculed relentlessly without diluting their scariness. The effects vary from marginal to weak, but heck, it's Abbott and Costello....read the complete Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) review at B-Monster review

Abbott and Costello were especially good comedians. However, their box office popularity was slipping a little before this film was made. For all practical purposes, this film created the Comedy-Horror genre. The Abbott and Costello characters played ...

I love this thing and watch it every Halloween. It's campy fun and really a hoot to see all these old, serious horror characters bumbling about in true comic Keystone Cops fashion. My kids love it also, and I don't think anything that's well done ever ...

This is a must for the Halloween movie buff. My daughters grew up watching this one on VHS. The B&W movie fans will appreciate it's clear picture on DVD.
Fun for the entire family, although, my daughters always reminded me there are some scary parts... ...

Classic Abbott and Costello. Never get tired of watching although Ive seen this movie many times over the years. Now my older kids are hooked and enjoy watching A&C classics. This ones a must for your classic movie collection. ...

It has been said in other forums relating to this movie, but the reason this movie works, even for non A&C fans is because the monsters play it straight. Fortunately, the writers didn't have the monsters reciting goofy lines or tried turning them into a ...

This movie is a great classic! Abbott & Costello are two of my favorite actors, and funny they are! I was pleased with the quality of the movie, and the price was great too. I had been looking for this movie for a while and in checking out amazon for ...

I remember watching this movie when I was younger every year around Halloween time. Since it isn't too scary me and my sister could watch this movie and not have nightmares. I always enjoyed watching it and thought it was so funny. A couple weeks ago I ...

You can't do better than Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein if you are a fan of their comedy and a fan of Universal horror. The monsters play it straight which is respectful to the series and Abbott and Costello play it for laughs. A true gem and ...

Even having the Vol. 3 A&C Collection, this is good to have for the commentary. Also, it's good to have a classic like this on a single disc. Perfect DVD also has documentary. ...
by The Purple Heart on April 11, 2009
Although I have seen many A & C movies this is the best AND the ONLY one that I own. It has an interesting plot, some likeable charcters ( not Bud Abbott ), and Universals "Big 3" of the 'Monster Era' ( Drac, Frank, & Wolf ).
It is a movie worth owning ...
