20. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
Charles Barton, 1948

Only a pair of railroad baggage handlers can save the world from Dracula's evil plot to re-animate Frankenstein's monster.

This was my first and, I dare say, last Abbott and Costello movie. They turned out to be another one of those old comedy teams that just don't work for me. Even bringing Bela Lugosi back to his signature role wasn't enough to save the movie. Other than Lugosi, the only real enjoyment I got from it was the uncredited cameo appearance at the end (which I won't spoil).

3/10
