[Scott]

[Evan3]

Isnt that the one with Abbott and Costello???

Both "House of Frankenstein" & "House of Dracula" were made in 1945. HOF being first with Dracula & Frankenstein's Monster in it for about 5 minutes each.

1948 brought us "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein".

Thanks for the info K-Sonic. I'm not sure if I have seen them, but have read about them.

Does anyone remember the lame houseof frankenstein made for tv movie which was on the a few years ago>? Man some things never change.

To Scott: "Yes."
To Evan3: "No. That was was 'Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" w Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney, Jr. having fun spoofing their roles of Dracula and the Wolfman respectively. Worth watching as one of the better A&C comedies, and as one of the better horror comedies.
Glenn Strange, who would later play the bartender on "Gunsmoke," would play the Monster in all three films.
House of Dracula also stars Onslow Stevens as the mad doctor, Jane Adams as the hunchback, Lionel Atwill as the police inspector, and John Carradine as one of the better Draculas.
"House of Frankenstein" is much like "House of Dracula" w/ Atwill, Carradine, Strange, and Chaney, Jr. reprising their roles from the later film.
The differences between the two films: Boris Karloff is now the mad doctor and J. Carrol Naish is the hunchback.
"House of Frankenstein" also has the advantage of having George Zucco in it.
Enjoy all three films.

Even I remember that crappy tv movie too boy that movie sucks not a good plot, bad writing just a really bad movie. The only thing good about this movie is the people in it Near Dark's Adrian Pasder, The Arrival's Teri Polo, Demon Knight's CCH Pounder, CSI's Jorja Fox, The Commish's Melinda McGraw and Night Court's Karen Austin. I bet everybody wish they didn't do this movie.
