    While I really enjoyed the one where they meet Frankenstein, and I thought the one where they meet the Invisible Man was also pretty decent, this one was quite okay. The most positive thing I can say is that I would consider this the best classic Mummy movie in the…

    When I was about 10 I became very interested in the Abbott and Costello movies. Back then you were at the mercy of your local UHF situations. Luckily for me Abbott and Costello were pretty popular on my local tv station on Saturday afternoons. Although I know I must have…

    I thought this one was a riot. It certainly had some of the duo's best bits. Costello is more entertaining than ever. The multiple mummies bit in the end had me rolling. At first I didn't believe that the duo's three Monster flicks could be so easily their top three…

    You took the shovel! Apparently the only picture in which Bud and Lou play themselves. Their characters allegedly have names, but they just call each other "Abbott" and "Costello".

    “Watch out for the babyface guy, he’s a killer.” The Curse of Klaris What the hell was that violent, screaming dance troupe performance that opened the film? I was into it. Also kind of into the *shrug* good enough rubber mummy suit(s) (hey, they had to make three of…

    Gets a LOT of mileage out of Lou Costello doing double-takes when he spies something scary and then running as fast as he can out of the immediate area, but, have to admit, the final gag is a pretty solid finale.

    Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy

    One of the better Abbott and Costello Meet… (Universal Monsters character) films. Silly slapstick with a very lacklustre story, carried by the two leads’ comedic ability

    Abbott & Costello are never not funny. Even though this pales in comparison to Frankenstein and Invisible Man installments, there’s a lot to enjoy here.
