PLOT:

Chick and Wilbur are just two normal delivery guys working at the warehouse when two of the shipments from Transylvania get up and walk away. The two package was going to a wax museum but was the real Dracula and Frankenstein monster. Lawrence Talbot has also arrived on Dracula's heels in order to stop his evil plot.

With the help of a mad doctor Dracula turns into a vampire they plan on stealing Wilbur's brain to control the monster easier.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

A true classic in every sense of the word. Any lover of classic horror and classic comedy will love this movie. Interesting side notes, Boris Karloff passed on being Frankenstein only because he didn't think a horror comedy would work. He was wrong and played in two more Abbott and Costello comedy fright fests. Second, the original working title was THE BRAIN OF FRANKENSTEIN but they thought no one know it's a comedy that's why they changed it. The comedy works, the fights work and it's a classic. 9 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

As you already might know last year I called this a hidden Halloween treat and I still stand by that. This is a great movie, it drags at times like a lot of movies of this time did but what's perfect. 9 STARS.
