This and Dracula. Both films had Bela Lugosi. In a way Lugosi saved Universal twice from bankruptcy, first with Dracula and then this film but yet he was cast aside. A real shame.

I'm watching this tonight,on HALLOWEEN! In honor of My Dad ,me my Brother and my Dad,used to watch marathons of Abbott & Costello movies,every Saturday Afternoon,this is what HALLOWEEN!should be about!FYI! TO THOSE OF YOU WHO CELEBRATE EVIL HALLOWEEN IN ANY WAY!JESUS CHRIST!CONDEMS IT!AND FORBIDS IT!WHEN YOU DRESS UP!YOU ARE ACTUALLY BREWING UP!EVIL SPIRITS!AND ITS WITCHCRAFT! ITS FORBIDDEN!!REPENT NOW!
I've always loved this movie, but I appreciate it even more now since I saw an interview with Bela Lugosi, wherein someone asked him what he'd like to do besides horror, and Lugosi said he wanted to do comedy. I hope he had fun making this. ☺️
The actor who played Frankenstein in this film (and 2 others) was Glenn Strange -- more famous as the bartender Sam at Miss Kitty's Long Branch Saloon in the CBS-TV series Gunsmoke. In the Frankenstein role in this Abbott & Costello classic, Glenn was personally coached privately by the original Frankenstein monster Boris Karloff. When marketing toys & games with the Frankenstein image it's often the Glenn Strange version that's used. So much so, that when Boris Karloff's obituary appeared in The New York Times they erroneously printed a picture of the Glenn Strange creature. Glenn also appeared in several John Wayne films & a few other Abbott & Costello films.
AND technically., if you follow the somewhat loose continuity, the monster is supposed to be Legosi too as the brain of his sinister character Igor or Ygor was put in the monster’s body in Ghost of Frankenstein
Abbott and Costello was handled perfectly. I dont think the stooges could pull It off- all 3 were cowards. Moe would be saying Naaaahhh throughout the movie.
Imagine, all the Frankenstein movies there have been and all it took to wake him up was some little electrical thing you can carry around in your pocket. If only I had been a fly on the wall when they came up with that idea. "So how does Dracula wake up the monster?" "Oh, that's no problem. Dracula just has this knick knack he carries around that wakes him up lickety split." "Ingenious! Why didn't we ever think of this before?"
"Lawrence Talbot"/"The Wolfman"(Lonnie)tries to call "Chic & Wilbur"(Bud And Lou)to warn them that the wax figure that are to be delivered to"The MacDougal House Of Horrors"..are not real wax horror statues..but..the real "Count Dracula"(Bela) and "The Frankenstein Monster"(Glenn)entering the USA..illegally.
Imagine huntz hall being there Huntz hall :no you guys go ahead Whitey: all right ✅ Sach Slip: we Wii be back Satch Satch : chief chief wait fellas 🤔 (Bowery boys go away ) Frankenstein: (growling) Satch: oh stop It chief Frankenstein (roars) Satch: now chief its only.... (Sees monster 👻 👽) Satch: uh hi (screams and faints )
The last time that these classic horror movie characters would ever grace the silver screen,then Hammer took them to a whole new level,wish Boris Karloff could have played the Frankenstein monster one final time.
Can someone who knows the reasoning for “the X Y and Zs of monsters” please explain 2 things to me? 1. Why did they sculpt the eyelids in a way so it always looks like the Monster’s eyes are shut? Both here and Ghost of Frankenstein, I never got that. Karloff, Legosi, and the first 2 Glenn movies didn’t do that. 2. How come the Monster is able to speak only when referring to Dracula as his master, but he can’t speak anywhere else? I know he lost the ability to speak in Son of Frankenstein because he was sick in that movie. And in Frankenstein meets the Wolfman (the intended story) he lost it because the remains of Ygor’s brain were destroyed by the male doctor at the end. So why here can he say “Master” and no other words?
Take this film as a separate vehicle to the classic Universal monster series. It's an Abbot and Costello pic first and foremost so some inconsistencies are bound to creep in. Re the monsters eyes, Jack Pierce did add heavy lids to Karloff's eyes from the very first film.
This movie would've been absolutely perfect if it had somehow managed to include the Mummy, but unfortunately it didn't. The movie had nearlly all of the Universal monsters: Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, Dracula, and at the very end of the movie, even the Invisible Man (with the voice of Vincent Price). Shame they failed to include the Mummy.
If only Bride and Creature had been in it too. Creature wasn’t even around yet, he would be released 6 years later. They actually met him on a TV special around the time the original film released, here…
When someone tells you just to blindly follow them without understanding. “The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, But the folly of fools is deceit.” Proverbs 14:8
It’s because Dracula’s plan involves him taking the alias Dr. Lajos, later in the picture. He appears to Bud and Lou under that assumed identity, and Lou isn’t supposed to recognize him as Dracula. That’s why he covers his face. Of course Dracula couldn’t possible have known that, but he might just be thinking ahead.
This saved Universal Pictures from bankruptcy. True story tbh with you.

This movie is still awesome and the comedy holds up
Ma and pa kettle movies were hugely successful for universal in the 1950s.😊

Perfect combination of horror and comedy! Double treat!

I’m glad it’s just a comedy, that RIDICULES all that Halloween stuff!
The perfect combination of comedy and horror with one not overlapping with the other

Fantastic mix comedy and gothic horror together make really good 5 star entertainment.
“Poliiiiice!”
“I can do better than that. POLICE!”
I liked that bit (3:33)
And in 1977 The Police played their first gig at Rebeccas in Birmingham, UK.
It was hysterical combined w no one paying attention to wilbur .
Agreed it was hysterical
Pllllliiiiiisssseee
Still makes me laugh after so many years. The Monster's reaction to Wilbur is my dad's favorite part and makes him laugh to the point of tears. =)
can we all agree that dracula was ready for that coffin to open
So Lou faked that he had been hypnotized to get Dracula to leave him alone!!! Wow!!!! Awesome!!!!
He didn't fake it, dracula hypnotizes him several times in the movie
I always fought he was frozen in fear and dracula left him alone because he new he wouldn't do anything to stop him
He snapped out of it, then pretended.
Yup😂@@robertcoggeshall3071
I love this show brings a lot of memories back. Has a kid.
Boy. This film scared the heck outta me ss a young kid . I used to have dreams the monster was after me
At age 66 I can relate to what you say
One of my favorite movies when I was younger in the early twentieth century 🤣🤓🫣
"The Monster"doesn't wake up on his own.."Dracula"wakes him up by using his evil cursed ring.
Despite being most famous for playing Dracula this was only the second time Bela played him.
In a movie, at least
This was on LA TV all the time when we were young. My brother and I knew all the dialogue.
This movie was my childhood
One of my favorites from this great comedy team.
2:36 The funniest part was when Frankie saw Lou and was freaked out. LOL
I died laughing but I’d be offended like YOUR the monster but I freaked you out 😂
"DON'T worry-- HE won't hurt you." 🤣
I LOVE this movie 🖤🖤
*FUN FACT:* This was actually the ONLY movie Bela Lugosi ever reprised his role of Dracula...
AND technically., if you follow the somewhat loose continuity, the monster is supposed to be Legosi too as the brain of his sinister character Igor or Ygor was put in the monster’s body in Ghost of Frankenstein
1:48 m- master yes.. For some reason that part had me dying
"Junior" awakens. Lou is at a loss for words. This was the last big "hurrah" for the Universal monster canon -- a great way to finish up the 1940s.
Movies like this are how we got shows like Scooby Doo.
If you think about it, Shaggy is basically a skinny version of Lou Costello.
In 1975, I was into monsters and horror. My friends were into superheroes. Still love monsters to this day.
Frankenstein afraid of Costello 😂.
Glenn Strange and Bela Lugosi....
I hope they are re release the classic monsters back to cinema for Halloween this year. Especially Frankenstein and Bride of. Plus The Wolf Man 2010
Imagine the Three Stooges meeting these monsters
Now that would be wicked also!! Love the Stooges 👍🏻
I wouldn't wish that on any monster T_T
they did met a werewolf at a hotel
Abbott and Costello was handled perfectly. I dont think the stooges could pull It off- all 3 were cowards. Moe would be saying Naaaahhh throughout the movie.
A shame
Loved this movie I have this movie on Blu ray
I can't believe that the Frankenstein Monster got spooked walking past Wilbur(Costello).
Wilbur looks like the Roto-Rooter™️ guy.
Universal Classic Monsters are for ever cool!
They are brilliant 💜💜💜💜

0:12 Dracula awake

Bella Lagosi always made the scariest Dracula and Boris Karloff the scariest Frankenstein back in the day. ;-)
Hey Abbottttttttttttttttttttt!!
Frankenstein got scared of Costello 😂
Imagine huntz hall being there
Huntz hall :no you guys go ahead
Whitey: all right ✅ Sach
Slip: we Wii be back Satch
Satch : chief chief wait fellas 🤔
(Bowery boys go away )
Frankenstein: (growling)
Satch: oh stop It chief
Frankenstein (roars)
Satch: now chief its only....
(Sees monster 👻 👽)
Satch: uh hi (screams and faints )
Bela lugosi was the best

@@thewomble1509 The Monster makeup always included heavy eyelids. I guess whoever made the appliances for this film made them heavier.
@@JoeLibby I think it was Bud Westmore.
@@thewomble1509 Producers didn't do anything like that to Fred Gwynne many years later as Herman Munster.
He couldn't speak because they used a brain from a lady named Abby Normal
This is my favorite Mark Cuban film.
Love this🤟💀🤟💀

Too many ingredients.

There is Abbott and Costello meet the mummy film.
What is the sound effect called when Dracula is hypnotizing people?
great comedy/horror movie!!!🌟🎦🍿
1:21
This would be funnier is it were,
"The Three Stooges Meet Frankenstein."
When someone tells you just to blindly follow them without understanding.
“The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way,
But the folly of fools is deceit.”
Proverbs 14:8
Why does Dracula cover his face most of the time in this scene??
Covid 19! The evil Dr. Fauci was a consultant on this movie!
It’s because Dracula’s plan involves him taking the alias Dr. Lajos, later in the picture. He appears to Bud and Lou under that assumed identity, and Lou isn’t supposed to recognize him as Dracula. That’s why he covers his face. Of course Dracula couldn’t possible have known that, but he might just be thinking ahead.
Herman Munster vibes... 😅 2:37
Frankenstein
Ah you young people Making the most out of life While it Lasts.
Why is lou immune to dracula is he wearing contacts or that stupid
I think he originally is hypnotized but somehow snaps out of it and is clever enough to pretend that he is still under the spell.
Abbott and Costello both from nj died penniless because of the government
Dracula was practicing social distancing aka covid.
