Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) [w/Commentary]

The world of baggage handlers Chick Young and Wilbur Grey is turned upside down when they receive the remains of Dracula and Frankenstein bound for the House of Horrors Museum. When Dracula and Frankenstein escape, complete chaos ensues as Chick and Wilbur get mixed up in an evil plot to switch Wilbur's brain with Frankenstein's and are aided by Larry Talbot, who turns into The Wolf Man when the moon is full! Featuring a perfect blend of laughs and thrills, this is one of the all-time great horror comedies.



Audio Commentary with Film Historian Gregory W. Mank. Mank is scholarly but accessible in this very informative and enjoyable commentary. Some of the commentary is frankly of the "now we're seeing" category, but Mank also provides some unexpected little nuggets, like the fact that animation under the credits sequence was probably done by Woody Woodpecker's Walter Lantz and that Glenn Strange was once the singing voice for John Wayne in some of the Duke's early Western films.
