The Wolfman with Lon Chaney Jr, Dracula with Bela Lugosi and Glenn Strange as Frankenstein who had played Frankenstein after Boris Karloff became weary of the character in 1944.

The film was well acted, the characters play their part straight and I believe it's Abbott & Costello's best film. It's a spoof but a very good one. So many others liked it so much, that Abbott & Costello made a whole series of films about meeting other monsters.
