Synopsis
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) is a classic Universal horror comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Charles Barton, it reunites the legendary comic duo with Bela Lugosi reprising Dracula — his first time back in the role after seventeen years.
Dimwitted porters Wilbur and Chick are tasked with delivering two crates to a wax museum: one holding Dracula's remains, the other the Frankenstein monster. Both are very much not remains. Dracula's plan is to transplant Wilbur's pliable brain into the monster's body. The Wolf Man shows up as an unlikely ally, desperately trying to warn the hapless duo — who take every threat as a joke. Vincent Price appears in a single uncredited voice cameo in the final scene.
Universal deliberately assembled its monster roster for a send-up of its own horror catalog, and the result hit harder than most of the straight entries. It remains one of the sharpest genre spoofs of the studio era. Stream Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) online on iFILM.
