Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein Appreciation Thread

[kingdom warrior]

Fav Monster movie of all time....how there are no Mego like action figures of this movie is beyond me.....

Love this movie. It's what me and my boys kicked off Halloween with 2 years ago and it really started my oldest son's love of both Abbott and Costello and old horror movies. We now have watched all the old Universals and too many others to count. It even helped us get into other classics.

Big fan of this movie, watch it regularly!

Right in the middle of that exchange is "Chick" saying to Dracula, "Talbot here thinks you're the real thing"

Ah, I must have missed that over my kids jibber-jabber.

I really liked Glenn Strange's portrayal of the Monster. He looked really powerful. Karloff is still the King, but he was a more gentle creature...

I got this last year for me. This year, I'm gonna share it with my daughter. We watched Planet of the Apes last week and Jaws a few weeks earlier. I can't seem to get her interested in Star Wars. She gave up halfway through Empire ( my favorite movie) so I have my work cut out for me.

It's too bad that people like Chaney Jr. and Karloff thought this was an insult to their industry. Quite the contrary. I thought it enhanced their appeal tremendously. You can't always take your work too seriously. Monsters are made to be screamed AND laughed at. Actually when I was a kid, I still found the monsters creepy. It just felt extra real to see them attacking Abbott and Costello. In some ways, this film stands the test of time better than some of the originals. Very witty on so many fronts. A timeless classic anyway you slice it.

Other than Bride, Frankenstein, Mummy and Wolfman, it's the best of the Universal Monster flicks. For today's sensibilities, it might be the one that holds up the best.

You've got Karloff-like Frankenstein, the Lugosi Dracula and the Chaney Wolfman...all interacting TOGETHER....It's got House of Dracula and House of Frankenstein beat simply on those levels....
