DML Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ - good

"You and 20 million other guys!" - Wilber, when Larry Talbot says that tonight he will turn into a wolf.

Why watch this? When Universal monster films grew stale, Lou and Bud injected new life.

Plot Summary: Wilbur and Chick, a pair of unsuspecting freight handlers, get their world turned upside down when crates containing the remains of Frankenstein's monster and Count Dracula arrive from Europe. Dracula awakens and plans to revive the weakened monster, intending to replace its brain with that of a simpleton – specifically, Wilbur. Larry Talbot, the Wolfman, arrives seeking to thwart Dracula's plans and free Wilbur, but when the full moon rises, chaos erupts with the Wolfman, Dracula, and the Monster running rampant.

Dad's Preview: The thin, nay-saying Bud Abbott, and his portly partner, Lou Costello were a prolific comedy team making films since the late 1930's. As their careers slumped, a brilliant idea arose to pit them against filmdom's famous monsters. This is the best of the "monster" films, as they encounter The Wolf Man, Count Dracula and the Frankenstein monster. The real treat was that Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney reprised their original roles.
