I always loved watching Abbott and Costello movies when they came on TV over 20 years ago so I decided to get some of the DVDs. This item contains two of their best pictures, in one they go to Egypt where they meet the Mummy and in the other they meet Frankenstein, Dracula and the Werewolf. Even today both movies are still laugh-out-loud funny.
There is no colour, no special effects and no obscenity or swearing. This means good clean innocent comedy that you can watch with your kids. The same can't be said about the stuff made for TV today.

Typical mad Abbot & Costello. Any film that can make my 82 year old mother shriek with laughter really deserves five stars. An enjoyable way to pass an evening.

Despite me having a huge interest in the "old black and white" horror films from the 1930's and 40's, i was quite concerned that the apperance of the legend Bela Lugosi in this film, would damage his reputation as the finest Dracula ever caught on screen.......but not a bit of it, this really is a fitting tribute to him, as for a change, he has a nice part to play.........Dracula of course.
Bud and Lou are on terriffic form, the reading of dracula's "legend" by lou, whilst standing next the the coffin, is a film highlight!....the film also has its errie moments, with one or two scares. Lon Chaney (another ledgend from that golden era of horror films) also makes an appearance, as the wolfman, still a haunting figure, and beautifuly played by Chaney.
I cant reconmmend this film enough if you loved the old horror films from that golden era.....and you wont stop laughing, escpcially at poor old Lou.......MAGIC!
forget the other Film, Bud and Lou are really off form with this one

A&C+ Universal Horror winner!
This is a must-have movie! The misleading title gives us more than the Frankenstein Monster (Glenn Strange) with the addition of the Wolfman (the brilliant Lon Chaney Jr. Read more

Abbott And Costello - Meet Frankenstein/Meet The Mummy
What was funny in the 40ies and still funny in the 60ies is dull today.

Not good
A&C Meet Frankenstein
Lots of drawn out scenes where A&C milk a joke to death, eg, swing-door in the cellar with A&C and Dracula and Frankenstein. Read more

The foundation of slap stick comedy.
To me this brings back the good old age of pure, honest, non insulting, slapstick comedy. These guys are just awesome. The films are very funny and entertaining. Read more
