Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
February 8, 2025
Universal Monsters play straight man for Lou Costello's shtick. If you like his humor, then you'll enjoy the movie more than I did.

Classic Funny.
CBR
Howard Waldstein
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is not a straight-up horror, per se, but it indeed boasts all of the necessary elements to be considered as such.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Were it not for the goofy leads, this could very well be yet another chapter in the series of classic monster mashups, which had fizzled out of theaters a few years prior.
Phoenix Magazine
M.V. Moorhead
Even those of us who find Bud and Lou's antics more dated than those of, say, Laurel and Hardy or the Marx Brothers, can still enjoy this one, because the monsters are a hoot.
Washington Star
Chris Mathiesen
It may prove a less satisfying offering than usual to devotees of the slim and stocky funsters. Abbott and Costello prevail, however, over the chilly doings of such competent scare artists as Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney.
Movie Chambers
Paul Chambers
The first of three films to pair the comedy team with Universal's monsters. Moderately amusing.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
This 1948 effort is probably the last of their watchable films, though it's a long way from their best.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
The notion of having these two clowns run afoul of the famous screen monster is a good laugh in itself. But take this gentle warning: get the most out of that one laugh while you can, because the picture, at Loew's Criterion, does not contain many more.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
THE best of Abbott and Costello's zany films, this time with Lugosi and Chaney playing their monsters seriously, which makes A&C's reactions hilarious.
Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
An absolute hoot of a crossover film that holds up by today's standards and represents one of the best attempts Universal did to put all their monsters in one movie.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The best of all the 35 Abbott and Costello movies made between 1940 and 1956.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
One of the funniest comedies in the couple's long series of films that use Universal's classic horrors.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Bob Bloom
A classic mixture of horror and comedy, one of the best in this genre and one of A&C's finest moments.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
This is one of the best of all the Abbott and Costello features.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Superior Abbott and Costello vehicle with great Bela Lugosi Dracula performance.
Star Newspapers (Chicago, IL)
Michael Drakulich
Even contemporary audiences can't help but laugh at this.
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
One of the duo's most crowd-pleasing adventures.
Apollo Guide
David Conner
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein shows off both the comedy team and the monsters at their best, ranking in my book with Ghostbusters as one of the best horror-comedies ever.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...much of it is silly, but I think you'll find it as entertaining now as I did fifty years ago.
