Comedy?! Monsters?! Black and White?! Then you should watch this!
Yes the comedy is old, but how can you dislike the classics? Abbott and Costello created some of the funniest stuff that people are still laughing at their jokes in the modern time. Who's on first?
Now they are teamed up and meet Dracula, the Wolf Man, the Monster, Invisible Man, in a hilarious adventure.
Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney Jr reprise their roles in this film and boy do they make an impact. Lugosi is so sinister with his cape covering half his face that they put the horror back into vampires. The monster is in a weakened state, obeying Dracula (still don't know why Dracula wanted the monster under his control) and the Wolf Man trying to be the good guy to tell the world and stop the monsters running rampant, but then he turns into a wolf multiple times. Too many times to make sense...
It was a treat to watch Abbott and Costello do their routine with monsters chasing them, it gave me a serious Scooby-Doo vibe! (Awesomeness). Going through doors, Dracula vs the Wolf Man crashing through walls, the monster chasing Costello, and very funny comedy. Oh and slaps, lots of slaps. I may be a little biased since I'm an Abbott and Costello fan (I own their TV show) but this is a great comedy based on the classic movie monsters.
I can't really say more about this film other than how great the sets where. Any farther and I'm pretty sure I'd just be a ranting fan boy telling you to watch this movie. If you like old comedies, classic monsters, and Abbott and Costello then I'd highly recommend you to watch this.
RECOMMENDATION: Medium/ High
