One of the first comedy-horror films in cinema history featuring the duo Lou Costello and Bud Abbott, known as Gianni and Pinotto, facing off against three sacred monsters of Universal horror: Dracula Lugosi, the Wolf Man Lon Chaney Jr, and Frankenstein Glenn Strange. The result is not memorable but not deplorable either. Sufficiently entertaining.
