31-Day Horror Challenge Day Eighteen: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein



Another awesome picture for all ages to enjoy!  Abbott and Costello were always hilarious and this time they've gotten themselves into some ghoulish trouble.  This is a fantastic film to watch during this time of the year.

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello or in this case, Chick Young and Wilbur Grey, are working at a shipping company.  They find themselves shipping a couple huge packages to a house of horrors attraction.  Little do they know that these packages actually contain the bodies of Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster!  Hilarity and suspense ensues and there's even a great cameo from Vincent Price as The Invisible Man at the end.

With great performances from Abbott and Costello, Lon Chaney Jr. and Bela Lugosi, it's obvious that this film shines.  It's also very well directed and cleverly written.  Watch it with the whole family!

 10/10 Jack O'lanterns
