It’s funny, unique, and a lot of fun and if you browse around, it seems to get a fair amount of love from most folks.

It led to Abbott & Costello Meet Boris Karloff, Abbott & Costello Meet The Mummy and Abbott & Costello Meet The Invisible Man. So Universal rode that gravy train into the ground, and then kept going a few more feet.

I think I had a problem because I felt the tone of the movie was an ill fit for the Universal Monsters. I just prefer those characters in a horror movie. I have no doubt that if I had watched this movie in high school or even earlier, that I would have enjoyed it more. I think it also felt to me that Universal was treating their monster characters with a bit of irreverence.

After watching a bunch of the original Universal Monster movies these past two months, this movie looks cheap, has a poor script and just feels like a cash grab by Universal. But I continue to watch the movie every few years hoping to like it. I love the idea, I’m not in love with the execution.

But what your previous poster says makes sense, in its time, a movie like this was probably enjoyed alot more.

My dad showed this to me when I was 4 or 5 and from then on I loved it. It is often ludicrous, but it was a different time back then, and it’s just another chance to see these classic monsters. You’ve gotta admit that Abbott & Costello were funny as hell in some of those scenes!
