Comedy
legends met horror legends in 1948. Abbott and Costello have run-ins with the
Wolf Man (Lon Chaney), Dracula (Bela Lugosi), and Frankenstein’s monster (Glenn
Strange). The movie marked the end of the golden age of monster films and
reinvigorated Abbott and Costello. The movie is considered one of the funniest
in history and the duo’s finest. Boris
Karloff declined the role of the monster leaving the spot to Strange. Strange
found the duo hilarious and laughed throughout filming leading to excess
retakes. At the very end, Vincent Price
makes a cameo as the Invisible Man. This
is the movie to watch during Halloween season.
