A & C Meet Frankenstein annoys many horror fans as Universal throwing in the towel.
When Hammer found itself in similar straits in the 1970's, many people feel that they went out fighting, since they never (1) did crossovers between series or (2) did a comedy (other than Horror of Frankenstein) or (3) other than Dracula, update their series in time to the 1970's-Frankenstein stayed in the 19th century.
However, if they had decided to go the monster crossover route, what sort of film would they have made-Peter Cook and Dudley Moore meets Frankenstein? Since the only franchises that they had encompassed Dracula, Frankenstein, and Carmilla, it would seem a bit redundant, with two vampires (they never used Griffin/Invisible Man and made only one werewolf film).
