This is my favorite Halloween movie of all time. It's timeless comedy that just also happens to feature the classic Universal monsters played by their famous actors: Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney & Glenn Strange. It's also surprisingly scary (for the younger set). Just a great movie that I watch every year on Halloween night while I answer the door for trick-or-treaters. "He's just a wax dummy, Wilbur!" "I know that. And YOU know that. But does **HE** know that?" (points to Dracula's coffin) I love it!

I like watching this every Halloween, though I admit laughs, like horror, dampen with repeated viewings. Still shows you how a monster mash and a horror/comedy mashUP here. Alternating between chilling and goofy, it is fun and lighter than air.

Legendary comedy duo _Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein_ in this lighthearted goofball comedy. The story follows two hapless delivery clerks who unwittingly stumble across Dracula’s scheme to unlock the secrets of Frankenstein’s Monster while transporting some crates to a local horror museum. Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi, and Glenn Strange all return to reprise their Universal Monster characters. And the film does a surprisingly good job at being comedic without making fun of the Monsters. Abbott and Costello performer their usual vaudeville comedy routines while the Monsters deliver the mayhem. The plot’s a little weak, but overall _Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein_ is a hilariously fun romp that’s full of laughs.

Wow. This was amazing. It almost made me break my 'Nothing gets a 10/10' rule. It has humour by the bellyful and almost enough Universal monsters to field a five-a-side team[spoiler] (the Mummy and the Creature From The Black Lagoon missed the team bus) [/spoiler].
