Once again I'll reitterate that though I loved Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, I don't in any way consider it as a part of the Frankenstein series anymore than A&C Meet The Invisible Mans was a pert of that series, or A&C Meet The Mummy was a part of the Mummy series, or A&C Meet J&H has any connection to anything else on the planet.

They are in not even alternate universe stories, they are just there to poke fun at the characters or ideas. The closest modern equavilant being SCARY MOVIE, or if Penn and Teller met Jason and Freddy.

That said, I still don't think Uni did any of the series any favors, with the general public anyway, by making the monsters bufoonish dupes of a comedy team.
I did not find the monsters in A&CMF "bufoonish dupes". They were played straight and were as scary as ever. That's not what I take away from that film at all. I also don't think A&CMF is anywhere near the silly Scary Movie in tone. That's an insult to A&CMF.

Two different views here. That's all.
