Frankenstein + Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein

“A monster science created—but could not destroy!” Considered by many to be the greatest horror film of all time, James Whale’s FRANKENSTEIN tells the at once terrifying and poetic tale of a maniacal scientist (Colin Clive) whose obsession with creating a living being from dead body parts has tragic and shocking consequences. Adapted from the quintessential gothic novel by Mary Shelley, this is the film that made Boris Karloff a genre icon and ushered in a new era of horror.

The popular comedy team of the 1940s and 1950s, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, goes up against Universal Studios’s monsters in this zany spoof. Dracula (Bela Lugosi), the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.), and Frankenstein’s Monster (Glenn Strange) all make memorable appearances in this horror comedy mashup, which manages to do justice to both genres―a feat frequently attempted but rarely achieved.
