Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)

Abbott and Costello face the world’s most notorious monsters in this gleeful spoof of Universal’s own classic horror movie franchises. The comic duo star as hapless delivery men unwittingly transporting the bodies of Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolf Man, but end up delivering old-fashioned scares with hilarious antics.

Recommended for ages 7+ (Common Sense Media)
