Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) - August 28 Review - Page 10 - Blu-ray Forum

Phillip Jay Fry EOE · 01-28-2013, 01:45 AM

I got a $25 Best Buy gift card for my Birthday from my Brother. With shipping, it only cost my $2. So I'm pretty happy to finally have this one in my BD collection. Picture quality is superb and it's great to be able to view this one in such a great presentation. I was also super stoked to finally get to watch the documentary, "Abbott and Costello Meet the Monsters" on here. Been wanting to watch that for a while now. Hopefully soon I can order Volume Four of their collection, then I'll have most of their stuff.

This is a great Blu-ray!

I watched Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein late last night to chase down my Criterion of Terrence Malick's Badlands. A strange double-feature night, I know, but it worked.

I purchased this Blu-ray/DVD combo pack months before I even owned a Blu-ray player, because I had longed to revisit this movie since childhood. I enjoyed going through the DVD disc back in 2012, but the Blu-ray presentation is a solid step-up.

I love how Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein is one of the funniest movies ever, but it still treats the Universal Monsters with the utmost dignity and grace.

Why does this cost so much ? with shipping you can't get this under $20 . I mean it's worth it .. but my 6 movie collection on dvd from Abbott and Costello less . I can't see buying this when a bluray set will probably be coming out soon . With more goodies . The Universal monsters come out to 10 dollars a Blu-ray , and if you bought the UK set there about $4.50 a movie. List price of $26.98 is just way too much for this . And the dvd and digital copy that comes with are useless . Give me the Blu-ray only and add some more movies .

This is down to $14.99 on Amazon. Still not super cheap, but this title rarely goes on sale.

This price is the lowest its ever been. I got it when it first went up for preorder for 18.89 and it came with a slipcover.

That A&C Meet the Monsters extra is one of the best commentaries I've heard for any movie. It is packed with interesting information. I find myself rewinding to hear stuff a second time quite often.

Excellent blu, excellent extras.

Ragna · 05-01-2013, 02:18 PM

Can someone please confirm it has a slipcover when they received there blu-ray from Amazon.

Brent L. · 05-02-2013, 03:23 PM

I just ordered it since I had a $10 promotional coupon for my next order and I have a couple hundred in credit. If I don't buy it now I wont ever get it. It said that they only has seven available to ship at the moment, and only six now that I ordered. It's not OOP or anything, but still, if you want it soon I wouldn't wait too long on this one.

I'll report back on Saturday on if mine comes with a slip or not.

Brent L. · 05-02-2013, 05:41 PM

Down to just three more currently in stock. Just a heads up...
