YOUNG FRANKENSEIN is a love letter to Universal horror in every frame. I absolutely adore that film. But it is very much a nostalgia piece honoring a world of over 40 years earlier, which cant be said about A&CMF.

Remember, A&CMF was only made 3 years after HOUSE OF DRACULA, so its slant on the UniMonsters was still very contemporary at the time, in the same way that SCARY MOVIE spoofs horror films that are contemporary to its own time. Therein lays the similarity.
