Our friends at See It On 16mm are back! And this time they’re unspooling Charles Barton’s monster mash classic Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein!
Nothing is as it seems when bumbling baggage clerks Chick (Bud Abbott) and Wilbur (Lou Costello) find themselves caught in a comedy of terrors. Dracula’s coffin, the Wolf Man’s curse, Frankenstein’s monster — all land in their laps, and the results are shrieks of laughter mixed with genuine chills. Can these two scaredy-cats survive a night in the castle?
A horror-comedy landmark and one of Universal’s greatest monster rallies, Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein brings together Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Jr., and Glenn Strange for a frightful fiesta of classic ghouls.
