History Film / AbbottandCostelloMeetFrankenstein

* AnimatedCreditsOpening: Done by WalterLantz, of WoodyWoodpecker fame.

But that's not all; Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney, Jr.), Film/TheWolfMan1941 himself, joins our heroes to stop Dracula. Too bad that he happens to turn into a werewolf at most inappropriate times...

* AbsurdlyIneffectiveBarricade: At one point Bud and Lou slam a door in the face of the {{FrankensteinMonster}} and try barricading it. Alas, they forgot that it opened ''[[TooDumbToLive the other way]]'' and get a very nasty surprise.

Detaching itself from the continuity of the previous UniversalHorror films, this movie centers around the cowardly Wilbur (Costello) and his no-nonsense buddy Chick (Abbot) who work as baggage clerks. One day they receive an order to take two boxes which just have come from London to the States to the [=McDougal's=] House of Horrors. The boxes contain the remains of Count {{Dracula}} (BelaLugosi) and FrankensteinsMonster (Glenn Strange), who are in fact alive and soon escape the place.

* IAmNotShazam: Aside from the title, Wilbur calls The Monster "Frankie" when he tries to reason with it.
** Otherwise averted, as characters who should know better (such as Dracula) refer to the Monster as "Creature" or such.
