Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is a 1948 comedy/horror film in which characters played by Bud Abbott and Lou Costello deliver large heavy crates to a wax museum only to discover that the contents -- Frankenstein's monster and Dracula -- are neither wax nor dead. Bela Lugosi stars as Dracula; Glenn Strange stars as Frankenstein's monster; and Lon Chaney Jr. makes an appearance as the Wolfman. The film was directed by Charles T. Barton from a screenplay by Robert Lees, Frederic I. Rinaldo and John Grant.

In 2001 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.

It was released in the Universal Studio Comedy Legends DVD series, on August 29, 2000, as Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein. On May 31, 2005, the film was reissued on DVD as part of the "Best of Abbott and Costello, Volume 3" boxed set with seven other films.
