Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)

Count Dracula, in league with a beautiful but diabolical lady scientist, needs a "simple, pliable" brain with which to reactivate Frankenstein's creature. This brain belongs to the hapless Lou Costello, whom the lady doctor woos to gain his confidence and lure to the operating table. Wolf Man Lawrence Talbot arrives on the scene to warn Costello and his pal Bud Abbott of Dracula's nefarious schemes. The timorous Costello witnesses the nocturnal rituals of Dracula and the Monster but can't convince the ever-doubting Abbott—until the wild climax in Dracula's castle, where the comedians are pursued by all three of the film's monsters. A special appearance by the Invisible Man, voiced by an unbilled Vincent Price, adds to the excitement. Also stars Bela Lugosi, Lenore Aubert, Glenn Strange and Lon Chaney Jr.

Pre-show Wurlitzer Organ music provided by New York Theatre Organ Society (NYTOS) beginning one-half hour prior to the film.
