Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein—light horror comedy—works more at the cute, simple family entertainment level. The dialogue that gets old quickly are the repetitive scenes where Bud refuses to believe Lou about seeing both Frankenstein and Dracula. Watch for actor Glenn Strange (who later played the bartender in the Gunsmoke television series).

Additional Thanks
Thank you to Director Charles Barton for directing effort. Thank you to Producer Robert Arthur for making the film possible. Cast includes Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Luggosi, Glenn Strange, Lenore Aubert, and Jane Randolph.
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? Yes. The movie provides suitable entertainment with its own brand of comedy. The comedy is balanced with very light suspense.
