Summaries

Abbott and Costello return with their mix of comedy and horror for a new generation of fans where this time, they encounter the Frankenstein Monster in a whole new way.

ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MONSTERS, a new computer-animated reworking of ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, a project that has entered the test stage at eColor Studio. Combining the zany humor of the 1940s Abbott and Costello classics with the "monster rallies" of the same period, the project attempts to bring humor and comedy together in refreshing ways. MEET THE MONSTERS is beginning life as a two-minute test film, utilizing a key scene in the middle of the story in which Chick and Wilbur riff on the names of the monster characters before encountering Frankenstein's Monster face-to-face.—Anonymous

The Mummy. Frankenstein's Monster. Dracula. The Wolf Man. The Invisible Man. In this scene, Bud and Lou riff on the names of some of the characters before confronting the most menacing of all - Frankenstein's Monster!
