BOX SET CONTENT:
Hold That Ghost (1941)
Two bumbling service station attendants (Bud Abbott, Lou Costello) are left as the sole beneficiaries in a bumped-off gangster's will. Their trip to claim their fortune is sidetracked when they are stranded in a haunted house along with several other strangers.
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
In the first of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's horror vehicles for Universal Pictures, the inimitable comic duo star as railway baggage handlers in northern Florida. When a pair of crates belonging to a house of horrors museum are mishandled by Wilbur (Lou Costello), the museum's director, Mr. MacDougal (Frank Ferguson), demands that they deliver them personally so that they can be inspected for insurance purposes, but Lou's friend Chick (Bud Abbott) has grave suspicions.
Abbott and Costello Meet The Killer Boris Karloff (1949)
Funny and suspenseful outing for Bud and Lou casts them as a pair of hotel employees-house detective Casey Edwards and bumbling bellboy Freddie Phillips-who are determined to discover why corpses keep popping up around the Lost Caverns Resort Hotel. Is supposed swami Karloff really the killer... or is it someone else? Also starring Alan Mowbray, Lenore Aubert, and Donna Martell.
Abbott and Costello Meet The Invisible Man (1951)
Comedy legends Bud Abbott and Lou Costello encounter one of Universal's most unforgettable monsters in Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man. Recent detective school graduates Bud and Lou are minding their new business when accused killer Tommy Nelson (Arthur Franz) bursts into their office. Proclaiming his innocence, he convinces the two to get him to his beautiful fiancée Helen (Nancy Guild). Just as the police arrive to investigate, Tommy injects himself with invisibility serum being developed by Helen's uncle. Tommy convinces Lou to go undercover as a boxer to help expose the real killer. With Tommy's unseen assistance, Lou reluctantly goes into the ring as "Lou the Looper" for one of the most hilarious fight sequences ever filmed.
Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1953)
Bud Abbott is Slim and Lou Costello is Tubby, two American cops sent to London who find soon themselves in the throes of terror when they become mixed up with an equal rights leader (Helen Wescott), her reporter boyfriend (Craig Stevens), and the menacing Dr. Jekyll (Boris Karloff)-and his even more menacing alter ego, Mr. Hyde (Eddie Parker). Also starring Reginal Denny. 7
Abbott and Costello Meet The Mummy (1955)
Comedy meets horror when Bud Abbott and Lou Costello encounter Universal's classic monsters in the frightfully funny Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy. Pete and Freddie (Abbott and Costello) overhear a Cairo archaeologist's chatter about discovering a legendary mummy and decide to apply as chaperones for the corpse's journey to America. When they arrive at the archaeologists' home, they discover that he has been murdered; the mummy seems to have disappeared, and to top it all off, the boys become owners of a sacred medallion that holds the key to the location of an ancient buried treasure that many would kill for! Now it's up to the bumbling Americans to preserve the legend of the mummy and keep the treasure from falling into the wrong hands.
