Bud and Lou often just weren't funny
enough by themselves. So Universal
International set up a series of
confrontations from the horror films that had been such a success for the
studio in the 1930s. This was one of
the naively funniest, with the boys
delivering crates to a wax museum (of
course) unaware that their
consignment contains Count Dracula
and Frankenstein's monster. Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney Jr as the Wolf
Man play it straight enough to be
naturally comic, so the real comedians
end up as stooges.
