A Comedy-Horror, Not a Horror-Comedy
Larry (Wolf Man): “In half and hour the moon will rise and I will turn into a wolf.” Wilbur: “You and twenty million other guys.”

In the motion picture’s opening sequence, which is animated, Frankenstein’s Monster knocks on the lids of two Mutt-and-Jeff coffins, which are opened to reveal two skeletons. They are so frightened when they see Frankenstein’s Monster that they run and collide with each other; their bones fly in all directions and form the movie’s actual title:

BUD ABBOTT LOU COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN.

Of course Frankenstein means his monstrous creation, not the scientist himself. Today Frankenstein has come to mean the monster, but never mind. In foggy London during a full moon, a frantic Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.) attempts to call an express office – located at a Florida coastal town – that employs Chick (Abbott) and Wilbur (Costello) to tell the freight handlers not to deliver the two crates that they had received. They contain the bodies of Frankenstein’s Monster and Dracula (Bela Lugosi, in his second and last role in the part). They are scheduled to be delivered to McDougal’s House of Horrors. But because of McDougal’s insistence, the boys make the delivery. Not long after, we find Lou in a creepy cellar without lights (because of a lightning storm) as a coffin cover creaks open. Bela Lugosi gets out just before Chick arrives because of Wilbur’s frantic screams (CHIIIIIIIICK!!!!). See Wilbur’s nervous laughter, and nobody does the I-am-so-frightened-that-I-cannot-speak-routine better than Lou Costello. It seems the monsters come out only when Wilbur is around.

The troubled and empathetic Wolf Man tries to stop Dracula from his plan of reviving Frankenstein’s Monster by transplanting Costello’s moronic brain, which will make it easier for Dracula to control the monster. Meanwhile there are two women with key roles: Dr. Sandra Mornay (Lenore Aubert), a mad scientist in league with Dracula, and Joan Raymond (Jane Randolph), an insurance investigator who is trying to find out more about the crates. They are using their charms on Wilbur for their own ends, but Chick cannot figure out why Wilbur is such a ladies’ man. Then there is a Gothic castle on an island off the coast of Florida. What will happen when the monsters start running amok during the denouement? Will Dracula and Sandra’s evil plan to take Wilbur’s brain succeed? Will we meet still another monster?

While it is true that the monsters fright gags and sight takes serve to support the boys of comedy, the formula is effective. And the monsters play their roles as monsters, not comedians. They are all effectual. No wonder that this film was Universal’s second highest grossing movie of the entire year. It was Abbott and Costello at their peak, before their movie run became tired in the 1950s. If you only see one Abbott and Costello motion picture, this is the one.
