Abbott and Costello don't really meet Frankenstein in this, but they do cross paths with the Monster (Glenn Strange), Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.). It's inspired silliness, Bud and Lou's best movie, and the last go-round in Universal's classic horror cycle. One notable slip-up: a shot in which Dracula's image clearly appears in a mirror. You'd think somebody at Universal would've picked up on that, even in an Abbott and Costello movie.
