The Wolf Man tries to warn a dimwitted porter that Dracula wants his brain for Frankenstein monster's body.
The film treats the classic Universal monsters seriously enough to stay creepy, while a comedy duo stumbles through castle, lab and masquerade at slapstick speed. That contrast carries it: Lugosi, Chaney and Strange play it straight, Abbott and Costello deliver the laughs. Black and white, a short runtime and plenty of spooky sets make it a cozy Halloween staple.
Good for you if you like horror films with plenty of humor and old monster classics with a nostalgic streak.
