Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is a 1948 horror comedy film starring Budd Abbott and Lou Costello contending with Dracula, the Wolf Man, and Frankenstein's Monster.

Plot
In the first of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's horror vehicles for Universal Pictures, the inimitable comic duo star as railway baggage handlers in northern Florida. When a pair of crates belonging to a house of horrors museum are mishandled by Wilbur (Lou Costello), the museum's director, Mr. MacDougal (Frank Ferguson), demands that they deliver them personally so that they can be inspected for insurance purposes, but Lou's friend Chick (Bud Abbott) has grave suspicions.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Aside from the Frankenstein Monster, this movie also includes Dracula and the Wolfman for more fun.  This is also probably why they never made an Abbott and Costello Meets movie for those two monsters.
 * 2) Phenomenal comedy.  This was one of the first horror comedies ever made and is considered by many people to be one of the best with the stellar work of two of the greatest comedians of all time Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.
 * 3) Amazing acting from everyone, including Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi, Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, and even an uncredited Vincent Price.
 * 4) Vincent Price had a cameo at the end of the movie as the Invisible Man, opening up the door for more of these movies.
 * 5) This is the first time that the BIG THREE Universal Monsters, Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Wolfman, have appeared together since the 1945 film House of Dracula.
 * 6) This is the first and only time that Bela Lugosi reprised his role as Dracula in a movie.  He was technically in Dracula's daughter, the only direct sequel to the original Dracula, but only as a corpse at the very beginning of the movie.
 * 7) The beginning of the movie shows a brief animated cartoon, which is really cool and sets the tone for the whole film.

Reception
Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein is considered the best horror-comedy film of all time and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress in 2001.
