Plot: It seems that Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi), in league with a beautiful but diabolical lady scientist (Lenore Aubert), needs a simple, pliable brain with which to reactivate Frankenstein's creature (Glenn Strange). The ideal brain belongs to the hapless Lou Costello, whom the lady doctor woos to gain his confidence and lure him to the operating table. Lawrence Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.), better known as the Wolf Man, arrives on the scene to warn Costello and his pal Bud Abbott of Dracula's nefarious schemes. Throughout the film, the timorous Costello witnesses the nocturnal rituals of Dracula and the Monster, but can't convince the ever-doubting Abbott--until the wild climax in Dracula's castle, where the comedians are pursued by all three of the film's monstrosities. As a bonus, the Invisible Man (voiced by an unbilled Vincent Price) shows up for all the excitement. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

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 ages. Great stuff!

Halloween Classic
Added 10/22/2009

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....but isn't that the point?

Patiently awaiting my next shipment of classics from Amazon.

The Monsters Play It Straight with A&C
Added 9/9/2009

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 comedy team. They were smart enough to leave that to the brilliance of Abbott & Costello and let the monsters do what they do best ... be monsters. I have everything that A&C have ever done but if I could only own one of their performances, this would be it. It is a stand alone classic on so many levels. This DVD must not go out of print. Buy it !!

Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein
Added 9/7/2009

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 the first time, I got to see the wide range of movies that they carry, so now I know where to search for items that may be hard to find.
Thank-you amazon
