A comparison I used to give with these

A comparison I used to give with these "Abbott and Costello Meet..." movies, is that they are like if they made a "Key and Peele Meet the Avengers" movie. Take a legendary comedy duo and combine it with the biggest film franchise of the time. But upon finishing this film entry, a better comparison would be Richard Pryor in Superman III. They are two elements that by themselves work perfectly fine, but together do not work. Abbott and Costello are comedy legends with some of the best comedic timing and timeless writing of all time. Likewise, the mummy can lead to some entertaining and spooky stories. But these two elements put together bring out the worst in the both. There are some funny elements in isolation. The pick and shovel routine is a highlight, and the random bits of acrobatics are very impressive. But none of these disjointed elements come together for the whole. The mummy likewise is pathetic. He gets very little screen time and seems to be dispatched quite easily by hitting him on the head with a shovel. This mummy is crummy.

Another hilarious Abbott & Costello meet a monster

Another hilarious Abbott & Costello meet a monster flick with some fantastic bits. The leads remain pitch perfect, playing their usual acts to usual perfection, while director Charles Lamont crafts a fun mix of bits, from trying to lose a magical amulet to disguising one self as the Mummy. While not a bonafide classic as the "Frankenstein" film, still a lot of fun.

The worst of The Abbott and Costello meet

The worst of The Abbott and Costello meet the monster films. There are even times in the film where Bud and Lou call each other by their real life names and not the names of the characters they play in the film (Pete and Freddie) What also makes this movie terrible is we only see The Mummy for probably a total time of 15 minutes.
