This is my favorite A & C film...love it. 😁😁😁
It’s so good
I recently got a DVD with Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, The Mummy. All 4 films in one set for a very low price. Totally worth it and includes some great special features also. Good call on this one. ✌️
I love where Dracula has Lou Costello’s character in a trance and the monster gasp in fear when suddenly sees Lou. That’s when Bela Lugosi uttered the iconic phrase that he would be associated with…”Don’t be afraid”, to the monster.😅
"Wilbur! I said, cooome baaack!"
"He von't hurt yeau!"
Makes sense for the Monster to be Scared of People.
He's never known any Kindness from most of them.
@Doug O'Brien. Lugosi saying to the Frankenstein monster, "Don't be afraid" iconic? Hardly.
@@michaelbarlow6610 It's ironic that the Monster is afraid of the Fool rather than the other way around.
The remark about the sweat under the rubber appliances reminded me of how Fred Gwynne had the same issue with playing Herman Munster. He used to drink gallons of water to replenish what his body lost while shooting in full costume and makeup!
Excellent job. One of My Favorite Abbot & Costello movies. They’ve had so many. In the 60s and 70s they were a Sunday afternoon staple.
I grew up with this movie. It was a much loved staple in my generation and I am surprised that it has been forgotten, which is a shame. Nonetheless, all the trivia you pointed out is much appreciated, so thank you very much.
It depends on the horror community. Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein's one of the default recommends when someone asks what to start watching in classic Universal horror.
Grew up watching this with my brother on NYC channel 11... Eleven Alive! Many a Saturday afternoon were spent watching this movie! ;-)
Thanks for this. I introduced 9 Grandkids to this GEM...7 years ago now... they have seen and ENJOY, all the Universal monsters through the years !!!
I am thrilled about them passing it on , someday!
My favorite scene is where they were being chased by the monster, werewolf and Dracula through the castle..... hilarious
That is fascinating trivia! I sure loved their movies as a kid. Allllll of the monsters! Thanks Rick!
This movie is a 10/10 and should be a Halloween staple today. Shocked Lou Costello was hesitant! The blooper reel is legendary!
This movie is one of my favorite motion pictures, from my childhood and up through my adult years. As a child, I was a huge Universal Monster movie fan and I was/am a huge fan of Abbott & Costello along with the Three Stooges. This film is truly a classic.
Haven’t watched this since I was a kid but I always watched Abbott & Costello.
I personally love the 4 universal monster movies Abbot and Costello made. Thank you for highlighting this one. God bless and stay safe.
Thanks Rich
This is my favorite movie the second one is the One where they meet the Mummy
What about Abbott and Costello Meet Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? One of the Longest Titles for a Movie.
Too bad the Bride of Frankenstein never appeared in one of these films, She was one of my favorites.
Yeah Elsa Lancaster would've been great as her again
My Mom ,Grandparents & I would watch These movies on Sundays after church. I loved them as a kid. I have not watched in 20 years but maybe I should?! I didn’t know any of this Trivia. I think it makes more fun to watch. Thanks Rick. I guess I have some A&C Monster movies to watch for the October.
Loved this movie as a kid and still love it. It's an annual view for me. Hard to believe that Costello didn't want to do it, intially. Thanks for highlighting this classic movie.
I also love 'Hold that Ghost' and 'The Times of Their Lives'.
I did know about Glenn Strange breaking his ankle. This is probably my favorite Abbott and Costello movie. Also, Vincent Price is uncredited, as the voice of the Invisible Man, in the end scene when they are in the rowboat.
I first seen this movie at 8 years old in 1992. This was also the first time I seen abbott and costello. I have been a fan of abbott and costello ever since.
This is, by far, my favorite Abbott and Costello movie. What a classic and a fantastic watch around the Halloween season. Thanks for posting this video!
My Great-Uncle Charles played Dr. Stevens in the movie. It's the only movie or TV show I ever saw him in. Unfortunately, I never saw the movie until after he died, though my grandmother told me earlier that he was a bit role actor during the Golden Age of Hollywood. So this movie has a special place in my heart
My favorite Abbott and Costello film!
I am 1000% with you on this. I love this movie, and it’s been a favorite since childhood. Thanks for posting!
That was so interesting! I would love to see more Abbott and Costello trivia videos. All of their movies were must see TV on the weekends! Thanks for sharing!
Maybe more on the way
This is one of the most entertaining movies ever made. So much fun, many wonderful laughs.
My favorite Abbott and Costello movie! Loved it since I was a kid!
They originally wanted Lon Chaney Sr. to play Dracula in 1931 but he was in poor health and died from cancer.
Judging by his work in London After Midnight it might've been a Masterpiece.
I've always loved the opening animation.
And I never knew about Bela Lugosi portraying Dracula only twice. That alone makes this film special!
@Blake Pace
The narrator of this videoclip review of the film, "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein"(1948) initially fails to specify that Lugosi only played Dracula twice in films - but he also failed to mention that Lugosi also played Dracula innumerable times on stage - not only on Broadway but also in touring productions of the Deane-Balderston version of Bram Stoker's novel. He also fails to mention the more commonly accepted story that it was because of Lou Costello's insistence that Lugosi be hired to play Dracula in the film, that is the reason why Universal International put Lugosi in the film as Dracula.
Wow! So much went on during the making of this movie! Now I gotta watch it for sure! It’s amazing all the actors back then had to go through in the terms of the makeup and prosthetics compared to all the computer generated effects we are accustomed to today. Those guys and gals truly deserve our praise for their efforts! As do you Rick for creating another great video! Thank you. 😎
This is a old favorite of mine and I watch it every year on Halloween. Adding Vincent Price at the end was such a nice touch!
What was great about about this movie is the monsters all played it straight, Abbott and Costello handled the comedy. Can you imagine how bad it would have been if the monsters were doing shtick and double takes?
These were Saturday morning/ afternoon favorites of mine. Also where I got to see Ma & Pa Kettle movies, Blondie, Flash Gordon & Pete Smith Specialties. Didn't know Lon Chaney Jr. did "duel" roles. Glad Lou relented and did more of these. Lou's out takes are hilarious! I got to "run" Dracula & Frankenstein (newer copies) @ the former AMC Meyerpark 14 theaters in Houston, TX. I also got a catalogue of other films we could rent. We ran the 2 films @ midnight. This is a perfect film for the Halloween season.
Last time I saw this movie was back in the 70s at noon on a Saturday on Creature Feature! Always loved it!
Thanks for some more interesting bits of trivia. It has been way too long since I have seen this movie. I agree with you, horror & comedy can work well together. Mel Borooks' "Young Frankenstein" is a prime example of that.
Well now you got me wanting to see the Abbott and Costello movies! It's been a long time and I truthfully don't remember a lot of them except for that they were hilarious and bud and Lou were the greatest comedy team ever..
Anyone with a sense of humour should give this movie a watch.
Rick! How fascinating about what you shared with us. Such great research! When I was young I was actually afraid of this film. It was the perfect blend of horror and comedy...and has never been equaled.
The blend was truly awesome. You can laugh but take that film seriously with the acting and Star power
Forest Ackerman of Famous Monsters Magazine profiled many of these secrets in one issue. So glad you brought this info back for the many who had seen the movie but had not read the "Ackermonster" as he called himself many times.
This is one of my favorite Abbott and Costello movies.
Rick, Great video. This is my Hubby's favorite movie. He'll enjoy all the behind the scenes stuff.
Much appreciated
I remember watching this movie with my dad when I was little (he was a big Abbot and Costello fan) and watching this video brought back some wonderful memories. Thank you so much!
For some reason, we watched this movie in one of my elementary school classes - either as the last day before Christmas break or the last day of school. I still remember the way Dracula morphed from Bat to Man.... WONDERFUL FILM!
This is another film from way before my time that grew on me. I especially like the part where Lou Costello's character kicks the wolfman in the pants because he thinks it's Abbot's character in disguise. I play this movie every Halloween season.
That’s a great scene. There’s a snapshot of that in my video
@@ricknineg Can you do Creature from the Black Lagoon, please?
It's been awhile since I've seen this movie. Thank you for the behind the scenes!!! Going to check this one out again!!! Love your videos!!! 😍
Thank you!
Tom Scollo : One of my favorite movies of all time , thanks for the very interesting facts about the film !!!
Love Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, One of my Favorite Movies.
A Perfect Film to watch on Halloween as well.
This movie is one of my all time favorites as a kid. I love your research and I was blown away by the trivia! Awesome job
Much appreciated!
Sooooo cool! Love hearing all the old stories!
Me and my brother when we were growing up watched a ton of Abbott and Costello movies all the time. Didn't watch this one much but we did watch at least probably 10. The Invisible Man one was the funniest.
This one is super funny 😂
I ❣️❣️❣️Abbott and Costello‼️ What a outstanding job Rick‼️
I can’t believe that anyone wouldn’t like this great movie. It’s so cool about Lon. I never heard about him being Frankenstein in that scene.
That’s crazy right? I loved hearing it
Quite the discovery about that movie. Also, I do believe in the last scene, the voice of Vincent Price could be heard as The Invisible Man.
You’re correct!
Tarantino cites this film as one of this all-time favorites, and also a strong influence on his own works, in terms of the mixture of humor and darkness/violence, etc. He says all this in multiple interviews.
Lots of fun trivia! I knew about Lon Chaney Jr. doing the one scene as the monster.
I didn't know about the others though!
Glad I could bring this video to you
Quenton Tarantino also said this is his favorite comedy horror film of all time, saying it's both genuinely funny and scary.
Fantastic presentation. When I was 10 ( I'm 63 now, ) in Northern Ireland, me and the mates would go down to the local Lido at 10 every Friday night to watch a couple of late-night horror movies like Dracula or Frankenstein, or even Hammer ( yes, we got in!!, ) and getting back home about 1 in the morning. Great times. Great memories.
I used to show this film at Halloween to my kids and now they show it to my grandkids. I remember Bud and Lou both on the big screen and television. I also remember going swimming at Lou Castello Jr. park in East Los Angeles. Thank you for your great post.
Wow! For years, the guy I thought was "Bud Abbott" was actually Lou Costello, and vice versa! Thanks for setting me straight! LOL!
69 years old here. First watched this great movie back in about the mid 1960s as a young teen. I've seen it many times over the years. Own my own copy. Highly recommended.
Yes! I remember watching this film as a kid and loving it, thinking it was such a gem. My mother hated abbot and Costello so we didn’t watch them often. We had to sneak their films in when she wasn’t watching tv.
My all-time favorite A&C picture!
This has always been one of my favorite films! Very funny and, I suppose, a little scary. A real treat of stars. And, although I believe he is uncredited, I’m sure it is actually Vincent Price voicing the Invisible Man at the end! Brilliant!
I have never seen this movie.😮 Looks really fun from your descriptions and interesting info. Thanks for another great video in this series. Loving it!💀👻🎃
You can’t miss it, take a look
A&C Meet Frankenstein is an absolute must film to watch. Saw it as a small boy and realized even then it was a classic.
THIS IS ONE of my favorite of their movies
Hey Rick, nice job on my fav Universal Monster movie as A&C are my fav B&W comedy team. Thats some great trivia about the actors & that Lon Chaney Jr. had to fill in for the injured G.Strange. I recall reading that Karloff was insulted to be asked to play the monster in a comedy, but regretted that decision after seeing how well this movie was received by audiences. Keep up the good work.
If Boris Karloff agreed to play the role of Frankenstein, this would have been the perfect all-time Horror-Comedy film!
Thanks Rick, I luv your vids and all the trivia you bring to light. Though it's been years, I've seen every movie Abbott and Costello made. As a kid they used to play one every Sunday at 10am here in Boston on ch-38. When I was very young in the 60's our cinema "Camoe" in Weymouth they'd show them at the Saturday matinee when us kids would spend the whole day at the movies cuz our folks would get us out of the house for the day lol. Hope you're well? ✌️💚
Doing well, thank you! So glad you liked the video
Thank you, Rick! EXCELLENT job! WONDERFUL video as always! I never realized that Bela Lugosi only played Dracula in only TWO movies. That's incredible! He's such an iconic character!
Anyways, I just LOVE Abbott and Costello! I first started liking them because my late dad was such a BIG, huge fan of them when he was growing up. Then I started watching them on my own. I then became a big fan. They are so HILARIOUS!!! 🤣
The Frankenstein monster could have easily been played by Fred Gwynne, seeing as how Glenn Strange bears a striking resemblance to Gwynne's 'Herman Munster' character.
Great info, once again! Here’s a little anecdote for all of you: Now, where I live, we can see American movies the very same day they are issued in the U.S.A. but when I was a kid, in the 60’s, we had to wait several weeks and sometimes even months. Oddly enough, that particular film was shown in my hometown when I was 10… in 1964! I suppose it was originally shown In 1948 but why was it relaunched 16 years later? Was that “revival” done across North America or was it a local thing only? Anyone knows?
Next to Karloff, Glen Strange was hands down the best, most scary (as a kid) Frankenstein Monster. That spooky, severe face.
So many great insights. Thanks and subbed.
I love this film and the actors within.
Awesome episode Rick 🙂
Bela Lugosi agreed to be paid 1/4 the salary of the lead actor in Dracula. That probably influenced Universal's decision to hire Bela Lugosi as well.
Strange is a strange but appropriate name.
Love this movie as well as ALL Abbott and Costello movies. Really enjoyed your review and your information about this film. I think the fact that it is a horror comedy is part of what makes it great. It seems that all the monsters play the rolls straight as horror characters and the comedy happens along side the story. You share my love of these old movies and thanks for doing such a great job in your vids.
Horror Comedy definitely started here. How wonderful!
this movie was one of the Greats to me. thanks for making this video.
You’re most welcome!
From what I've read previously, Karloff said he would not play the monster again after Son of Frankenstein (1939) his third outing. So that decision was made by him almost 10 years prior to A&B Meet Frankenstein. Also, Lugosi played Dracula on stage for quite some time - that may have lead his agent to more successfully promote him for the first screen version.
That's not the reason why Karloff didn't want to play the monster in this film. He didn't like the idea of comedy and the monster and making fun of the monsters.
WOW!!! Just wow. Love this film. I knew it, but I was glad to hear somebody else remind people that Bella Lugosi only played Dracula twice and this was the second time. Love this, Rick, the research you do and facts you come up with boggle my mind. I thought it was already full of the trivial trivialities that existed. Not so! Keep it up, brother, and be hopeful.
I wonder which daughter Lou though could write a script.
I saw an interview with Boris' daughter where she was asked if he regretted not being in the movie "Arsenic and Old Lace". She said he only did when his nephew (or great nephew I forget the exact relation) asked why he was not in the movie , then she said the nephew had also asked about why he was not in this movie and her father had done the first A&C movie for that nephew and brought him to set to meet A&C.
One of the ORIGINAL Horror / Comedy movies.
Abbott and Costello were on a downward swing in their careers at the time this movie was made. This movie put them back in the public eye, and was a great swan song to the Universal monsters of the golden age. It's easy to see why, as the monsters are all in character the whole movie and it still ends up being hilarious. Which is more than I can say for Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy, which was a chore to sit through when I was 10 and no better now.
Omg! Glenn strange and lon Chaney Jr switching roles at the end blows me away!!!! Just the end of a awesome era. They don't make anything like this anymore!
I actually watched this, this morning (not for the first time) I love Abbott & Costello and I love universal monster movies, so combining them was a genius move, thanks for all the facts that I didn't know!
Definitely going to watch it again thank you 😊 love this movie
In a "making of", there's an out take I saw of Bela Lugosi giving Bud and Lou a telling off for laughing. Among other moments of corpsing, of which, there's quite a lot. As you'd expect.
I loved this movie its one of my favorites
This was always one of my favorite Abbott and Costello movies. I grew up watching the original Frankenstein, Wolfman and Dracula movies. You mentioned some great Trivia I never new about which only adds to my enjoyment now when I watch the movie. There's just one small detail or should I say " monster" that you left out. The very last scene in the rowboat they have an invisible passenger voiced by Vincent Price. Thanks for this post and great trivia.
Yes! I forgot about that, thanks for reminding me. I haven’t watched this movie in a long time and now I will have to watch it again before Halloween.
What?? Sam the bartender (Gunsmoke) played the monster??? Wow!!!
My wife and I JUST saw this movie just this Sunday at our local movie theater! Yes, on the big screen! Georgia Theater Company runs what they call Flashback Cinema every Sunday and Wednesday nights, and this movie is showing this week! It will run again in the state tomorrow night, for anyone that sees this and can make it. It was so worth it to see it on the big screen! And it is twice as funny! Some of the expressions on Lou's face are hysterical, and the monsters look awesome on the large screen! Lugosi rocked and both Glenn Strange and JCjr were awesome to see larger than life! Great vid and awesome movie! See it on the big screen if you can! BTW, I love the spinning stone door bit when Wilbur (Lou) keeps going around and seeing the monsters and Chick doesn't believe him yet! Awesome comedy!
I saw this movie at age 7 with my older sister. I was scared to death. I didn’t know it was suppose to get laughs.
Stellar episode Rick,....
me, and millions of other kids my age were obsessed with this film in the early 60's...
I should have been around in the 60s
5: 30 You missed a movie, Rick. The Monster Squad 1987 had Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy, Gillman, and, my favorite, Scary German Guy. :D
This was my fave movie with Abbott and Costello when l was a little girl in the early sixties. This made me think of something that happened with my great grandmother. She loved Lou, of course because he was Italian like us, and she watched everything he did. She was heartbroken when he died. A few years after he passed, she saw him in a movie on TV. She started yelling for my father. (She only spoke Italian) but she wanted to know how Lou made a movie when he was dead??? I remember my father laughed his butt off. She was so cute. She was an old lady in the 60's. Thanks for the memory. I miss you, Grandma! ♥️♥️
Excellent. Thank you!
You forgot Vincent Price he was in the Movie as the Invisible man
Glenn Strange was a regular on Gunsmoke for many years, playing Sam, the Long Branch bartender, at least during the color years. (During the 30-minute B&W era, Sam was played by several actors.) By all accounts, Glenn Strange was a kind, wonderful man.
He also played a Villain called Butch Cavendish on the Lone Ranger TV Series.
He played in a lot of westerns.
Thanks…a real fav of mine for decades…love your work
This is one of my favorite Bud & Lou film.
I wish you could do a clip of the bud and Lou are talking at a restaurant and Lou destroyed the economy because he doesn’t like mustard😊
Amazing that Bela was in it~!
I watched every time it was. Recently I purchased the DVD 5 years ago and watch it every halloween. I've seen all Abbott and Costello movies and this is the best by far.
