Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I've seen this one as often as any movie I can think of. We all grew up on Abbott & Costello. I'm a fan, so I enjoy all their movies. A&C Meet Frankenstein is the one the novices and non-fans always mention. With good reason, it's great fun. Famous for having the monsters play it straight.

There seems to be a strange train of thought that this film shouldn't be include in the Universal FRANKENSTEIN monster franchise. Let me see now , there's a character called Lawrence Talbot and he finds himself caught up in plot involving Count Dracula and the Frankenstein monster. On top of that he's played by Lon Chaney Jnr and Dracula and the monster are both played by actors who had previously played the same characters in the Universal franchise. There might be a lack of internal continuity but that's always been the problem with the franchise . Ah it also stars Bud Abbott and Lou Costello , a comedy double act in a film that's marketed as a comedy. Well there was also an element of black comedy to THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN and some of the scenes from the latter films do come across as being deliberately tongue in cheek . I would definitely consider this as being part of the legendary franchise and would also consider it better than most of the films in the series One thing I did notice on its network broadcasts is that it was never included in the BBC horror seasons that were shown on BBC 2 in the 1970s and early 1980s where the broadcasters would - unlike the similar Hammer films - show respect by showing the universal FRANKENSTEIN movies in chronological order, The only times I remember seeing A&C MEET FRANKENSTEIN being shown was one Saturday morning in the 1970s on ITV and about ten years later on an early evening slot on the same regional station which indicates broadcasting rights were an issue Typing that last line reminds that networks broadcasting black and white films is something from my nostalgic youth. I certainly do remember Abbott and Costello as a child but they struck me as a rather pale imitation of Laurel and Hardy. I'm probably being disingenuous because here they are authentically amusing. Okay I wasn't exactly rolling around the floor but the smart one liners and put downs did bring a smile to my face. Since there's two aspects , one of comedy and one of horror this tends to bulk up the storyline , especially in comparison with the threadbare narratives of the monster films of the 1940s. On short it's a good way to end the monster franchise for once and for all

I enjoyed this very much when I was a kid. I still enjoyed it twenty years later. Now much of it just seems silly, but it's still the best of the "Meet Monsters" movies. How can you go wrong with the original Dracula (Lugosi), the original Wolfman (Chaney, Jr.) and two lovely maidens, the sinister Lenore Aubert and the still sexy and mellifluous Jane Randolph. Boris Karloff was elsewhere, so the monster is played -- or played up -- by Glenn Strange, usually a bartender in cheap Westerns. True, the careers of most of the principals was on a downward trajectory, but so what? None seems to have lost his or her charm.The careers of Abbott and Costello were revived by this film but it was a dead cat bounce. Each sequel, each meeting with another of the Universal Studio monsters, was less innovative and enjoyable than this one. Besides, the two characters were pitched at a level that few people over the age of fifteen could get a kick out of. Who wants to watch tall, snarling, Bud Abbott kicking around short, plump, Lou Costello? Slapping him across the face and excoriating him at every opportunity. Certainly not us short, plump men! Most memorable scene, for adults, is the climax. It's a lot of slapstick but at moments comes to resemble late Marx Brothers. The funniest incident in the movie may be when Costello, in the middle of a frenzied brawl, yanks a tablecloth out from under a dinner service that remains in place. He stops for a second, stunned, glances at the camera with a big smile, and gestures at the table before dashing away. Charlie Chaplain used the gag effectively too, but we expected it from him.

Baggage handlers Chick (Bud Abbott) and Wilbur (Lou Costello) are instructed to deliver and unpack two crates containing the coffin of Count Dracula and the body of Frankenstein's monster, which are destined to be attractions at a museum of horrors. While they are at work, the vampire rises from his coffin and reactivates the monster, much to the dismay of Wilbur, who has trouble convincing his friend of what he has seen.Meanwhile, Wilbur's girlfriend Sandra (Lenore Aubert) is preparing a special surprise for her beau: she intends to transplant the hapless fellow's brain into Frankenstein's monster, having made a dastardly deal with Dracula. Fortunately for the chubby chap, lycanthrope Lawrence Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.) is on hand to help defeat the Count and his lumbering lackey.I recall enjoying Abbot and Costello's movies as a kid, and I'm a long-time fan of Universal's classic horrors. I hadn't seen this film for the best part of four decades and was keen to see if it was as entertaining as I remembered. The answer is, I am sad to say, far from a resounding yes.Abbot and Costello's comedic antics obviously amused the younger me, but as an adult I found their routines rather dated and laboured, with quite a few of the scenes repeated ad nauseum. Chick's constant berating of his simple 'friend' Wilbur is difficult to find funny, although not hard to understand since Wilbur's constant blubbering and screeching rapidly gets on the nerves.Of course, the comic duo are not the film's only attraction: the film features a lovely animated credits sequence, a few decent special effects, and some welcome eye candy in the form of the lovely Aubert and the equally delightful Jane Randolph as insurance inspector Joan Raymond. Then there's the little matter of it's trio of classic monsters—but while it's nice to see Frankenstein's monster (Glenn Strange), Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and the Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.) together again, this silly caper simply doesn't do them justice, the creatures proving so inept that they can't even catch a bumbling buffoon like Lou Costello. It's an unfitting swan song for these classic scary characters.5/10, purely for the sake of nostalgia.
