Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein movie trailer

[roscoegino]

best horror comedy of all time

[enriquebenitez51]

This a true classic ...I hope is at national registry archives in Wash DC

[snakes3425]

I often wonder why couldn't they get Karloff to play the Monster one last time

[nybabz]

i love this! why don't they show it on Halloween anymore?

[Adamguy2003]

Easily one of the funniest movies I've ever seen!

I remember once a few years ago, watching this movie with my pet cockatiel Cookie, who knew how to say a few phrases, and could even imitate a laugh. As I watched the movie, I'd obviously laugh a lot, "Ha ha ha!" Cookie eventually picked up on it and started joining in with his own laugh, "Ah ah ah ah!" It's so funnyy, it was like he was enjoying the movie as much as I was!

0:53 ... por qué mierda se ve su reflejo?

[radioclash81]

This movie was great, and it really brought to a close Universal's classic horror run, as the few movies that came after this really weren't that good. As many people have commented here, it was brilliant having the monsters play it straight. Universal's notable contribution to the sci-fi 50s would be the Creature from the Black Lagoon--I just picked up the Legacy Collection of that.

[INKIEtheCLOWN]

why did the director make Bela stand in front of a mirror...fire him!!Oops too late...

[Noppersbop]

can't wait until this comes out...........

[bestnil1]

A true masterpiece. Rarely is comedy & horror mixed well, as it is here. One of my earlieast memories of movies & started a lifelong love of them.

[TheDorr71]

This was a funny movie.They admitted to one mistake after this film was made-vampires CANNOT see their reflection in the mirror,and they showed Dracula in the mirror!

I also missed not seeing the REAL Frankenstein,Boris Karloff. He was a fantastic actor, and was the great voice of the original Grinch cartoon.

[HalcyonicRepose]

@TheDorr71

They ought to do very minor digital tweaks to these golden oldies, like removing the mirror reflection. And maybe a bat string or two. Miss Kitty's (from Gunsmoke) bartender does a pretty good Frankie, still, he's no Boris!

I like how Original Series Star Trek Discs allow you to watch the CGI version OR the original graphics, there could be two versions of this, remap Boris Karloff's version over the Frankenstein monster!

[AdamYJ]

The best thing about this movie is how they actually played all the monsters completely seriously, while Bud and Lou provided the gags. It wasn't parodying the monsters, because the monsters were completely themselves here.

[OldFartsChannel]

Always great fun! Check out our contemporary version of these guys at oldfartschannel. It's good clean fun.

[windstorm1000]

Fun, fun, fun==I can see myself watching this with a bowl of popcorn and some Diet Dr. Pepper--with or without friends.

[EkseteraEksetera]

Bela Lugosi!!!!!!!

[tomanyasses]

those were the days the music was great the acting and the story now it s special effects with puky criminal types making movies

[xoxSorasGirlxox]

i love how the girls don't even have names

[MrDanlj]

These two were one of the best comedy duos ever. I love this movie

[300minus]

This one was of course made for the kids and as a young boy, I loved it dearly. We need a chance sometimes to laugh at what we hold dear and this one worked better than any remake attempts. A&C plus the Universal trio? What's not to like?

Oh, and betweeen you and me, I was pretty scared for Lou at some points!

[MrMayDX08]

One of my favorite movies of all time. Such a classic.

[MyMerlin1]

Mother Riley Meets the Vampire (1952) was better than this SHYT.

[blkshepherd]

I always thought this was the very best of the three monsters. with the original actors playing the roles they made famous. I wish Boris Karloff had played the monster as he made the role famous as did lugosi and lon chaney who played their most famous roles..still glen strange was frigtening to me as a child. and dracula changing into a bat and back to a human Was the Coolest transformation I ever saw during that time. it was awesome to a five yr old back in `1961 when i first saw it. and today

[lpride1]

Loved this as a kid.I'm still afraid of the Wolfman

[mpbranch]

great movie first saw this on thames tv in england in xmas 1983 when i was five. i taped it and watched it non stop for three years wore out the tape! i especially loved it for the monsters but abbott and costellou r the best comedy act ever and this rates as their best film. Still love the chase scene at the end where our heroes are blocking the door with the bed and frankenstein just walks in classic!

[whiskeyify]

Great Movie, however I was disappointed by the Frankenstein monster, Glen Strange stinks.

If only we could have had Bois Karloff then this movie would have been totally cool.

[dracula1961]

This was released in the U.K. as Abbott & Costello meet the ghosts. Dose anyone have that trailer, or the opening credits of the fim, with that title on?

[tedfio1tedfio1]

This is a classic LOL...

[starscream1646]

What's with Dracula's reflection on 0:54?

[NikeAurrs45]

@starscream1646 it's a parody so you can laugh at it.

[rickw1100]

@starscream1646 - You're right! Good catch! Not to mention that the Wolf Man was supposed to have been "cured" at the end of House of Dracula-so lets say it just "wasn't permanent"-O.K., but the fall off the balcony shouldn't have killed either Dracula or the Wolf Man, either. I guess by this time, exact sequential accuracy wasn't as important, Anyway, a great film!!

[Extratexture4]

@rickw1100, while it's true that a fall into the water wouldn't kill the Wolf Man, Dracula would not be so lucky. In the novel Dracula, it's stated that a vampire can be trapped forever beneath running water.

[rickw1100]

@Extratexture4 -Apples and oranges. The lore behind the film adaptation of Dracula is different from that of the novel. For example, in the novel Dracula, Dracula is seen at first to be an old man who becomes younger as he drinks blood, he is able to move about during daylight hours, and is killed by a knife in the heart ( no stakes mentioned). Not so the Lugosi Dracula,

[sexyeyes1969]

I HAVE THIS MOVIE AND MANY OTHERS FROM THESE 2 GREAT COMEDIANS.

wHEN i AM FEELING DOWN i JUST PUT ON A ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MOVIE..

[johnhrobiii]

I think the film should be renamed,"Abbott and Costello Meet The Monsters"

[TheSKCJ]

your right..

[Bestmanme08]

Lou Costello in great new POLITICAL bio (Ted Kennedy: The Early Years) at amazon!

[flapdoodle64]

Chick-chick-chick-ch-ch-ch....­!

[LuvIzAhl]

One of my all time favorites

[johnlorican]

A great film - and one of my favorites as a youngster. Now that I have a family of my own, we always watch this movie - and 'Hold That Ghost' around Halloween time. My children, all now teenagers, have fond memories of those movies.

I'm sure Bud and Lou never thought their humor would STILL have an impact sixty years later!!!

These two comic legends are sorely missed. It's really true....Hollywood doesn't know how to make movies like this anymore....(!)

[vintagecupcake]

One of my all time favorite movies :)

[lpride1]

Loved this filmas a child but the Wolfman always scared me-even now a bit.

[tomkes100]

Untimate comedy horror A&C Meet Frank is a classic. DONT KNOCK THIS FILM PLEASE. I am a horror film historian i knew msny of these actirs have my own website hknring old films & these players. Lugosi best latter day role, Chaney great, STRANGE has best psrt yet, A&C are at their funniest, funny daring great musicm sets and the ending is UNFORGETTABLE. Folks we all have this on dvd. A&C are the best. their tv series & this American classic. Thats life folks. Long live this film FOREVER. TOMK

[bisnagaboy]

It's playing on the big screen at The Paramount Theater in Oakland on Friday, October 30th!! WHOOO HOOOO!!! I am so there!!!

[fagnanno]

glenn strange was a regular on gunsmoke.

[unrealvariety]

That"s true

[MegamanNG]

You take Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man and add Abbott and Costello... and you get one heck of an awesome movie.

[xDeathshardx]

@MegamanNG This is by far my favorite Abbot and Costello movies, if not one of my favorite of all time.

[clgreene100]

funny movie. i was a little dissapointed with bela lugosi. he looked so old in this one. in the seen where he struggles with the wolf man i could see wrinkles, crows feet... and frankenstein didn't talk very much. what's up with that?

[wolverineland]

Lugosi was 66 when this film came out, so he kinda was old. Bud was 53 and Lou was 42, so they weren't really spring chickens either.

[kickasquirrel]

Just located an origional projector copy. Any ideas of value???

[themovieguy364]

The Wolfman make-up looks much sillier in comparison to the original movie's, but maybe that was the point. It was a very funny film. It's good on it's own if you haven't ever watched the Universal monster movie's, but if you have it's simply hysterical and you'll love it!

[mhendog]

the man bat trans formation is way cool

[Yapostadodat]

If you are from a certain age group you saw this on Sat after cartoons on some UHF channel like 56 in Boston. It's a HUGE part of culture that should be passed on to other generations. It was such a HUGE success for Universal by combining all their BIGGEST stars :).

[balrog13571]

Great movie. Would have maybe been perfect if Karloff went back to play the Monster (although he did pose for some pictures for the film to raise money in exchange for money for his hotel) and Claude Rains as the voice of the Invisible Man's quick cameo instead of Victor Miller from the Invisible Man Returns although he was good. Chaney is wonderful as always and even watching it last night I still felt the suspense in that scene in his room. But Bud and Lou are superb! I gotta buy my own copy!

[Mtripp005]

Actually it was Vincent Price's voice as the Invisible Man

[balrog13571]

Sorry I said Miller accidentally didn't I? Don't know where I got that from. Actually Vincent price is probably the second best Invisible Man, but I'd say Rains is the all out best. Course they play two different men so there's no need to compare.

[jksonny]

Great comedy. Ironically, the story of why the Monster, the Wolf Man and Dracula are all involved with one another is more believable than that of HOF or HOD. Also, the Dracula character is better developed (and finally back in Lugosi's hands) and this is the best of Strange's Monster.

[agkmck6969]

such an amazingly funny movie...this is what motivated me to start acting.....if u havent seen it i suggest to go to the mother f*in store and buy it not rent it....now!

[Afro70s]

Lon Chaney...? Bela Lugosi...? Gotta see it! Must see it! And I really like Bud and Lou... They're so funny!

[jungleman68]

this movie reminded me of van helsing

[mattman747]

this film is a CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE! the greatest comedy team of all time at their all time best!

[JoshVlogs]

@mattman747 Don't you mean they're all time "beast"?

[FrauofGermany]

"This is awful silly stuff"

*creak...* LOL!

[CrustyConrad]

This film is so great, really a classic and so funny!

[ironbuttermilk]

Great film! It was in the movie 'Into the Night' w/ Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer (also w/ David Bowie and Carl Perkins).

I hope you Werewolf fans will check out the video of my song 'Teenage Werewolf' on my channel, it's the only video I've posted so far, so you can't miss it.

[rolex452]

One of the funniest comedies ever, starring the best of Universal's Horror & comedy actors!

[Fearichi]

i saw this movie about 6 days ago on comcast....it was funny

[jakee316]

someone please put this movie up! at least put it up someone where online. i cant find this movie anywhere! i tried buying it too but i cant ever find it!.

[rainbowsandwar]

I've got a VHS copy from forever ago, but I think they've released most of their films on DVD. I just checked, and they've got A&C MF on Amazon for some pretty good prices! $11.96 for new!
