Episode 339: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
Update: 2025-10-08
Description
Spooky Season starts in earnest, and we're kicking it off with a movie that scared the hell out of four-year-old Lauren: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Comedy team Abbott and Costello play baggage handlers who run into a bevy of Universal Monsters including Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi), the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.), and the Frankenstein Monster (Glenn Strange), in a creepy castle in...Florida? The film would go on to become a template for horror comedies, and the most successful movie in the Frankenstein series since the original.
Next week will be The Watcher in the Woods (1980), which is weirdly hard to get a hold of (but well worth the effort!).
