Abbott and Costello - Watch Order: Meet the Monsters
The Meet the Monsters series represents some of Abbott and Costello's most beloved and enduring films, where they encounter classic horror icons in perfect comedy-horror parodies. Beginning with their career-reviving masterpiece Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, these films expertly balance genuine scares with the duo's trademark slapstick.
Each film stands alone while maintaining the consistent premise of the bumbling duo stumbling into supernatural encounters. These movies showcase Abbott and Costello at their most popular and remain their most frequently aired and referenced works.
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff
