	The Abbott and Costello Show (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		I used to love Abbott and Costello's movies, but I hated when they added singing (usually the Andrew Sisters, it seemed) or subplots involving young lovers, etc. I really have no idea why these things had to be added to a majority of their films.
		The reason why the Abbott and Costello Show is so great is because it cuts out all the nonsense and shows their comedy bits totally unhindered.
		Abbott and Costello were outright comedians and relied on verbal humour rather than physical comedy (though a little physical comedy was occasionally in their routine).

	DVD Review - Abbott & Costello Meet The Mummy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		1955’s "Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy" finds Bud and Lou tackling the immortal Wrapped One in the same irreverent manner they encountered all of the legendary Universal monsters, starting with "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" in 1948 (still the champ) and ending with this 1955 entry.
		What the "Scary Movie" films are to current moviegoers, the Abbott and Costello "horror spoofs" were to a generation weaned on Lugosi’s Dracula, Karloff’s Frankenstein and Chaney’s Wolf Man. Transforming these symbols of terror into slapstick props demystified them, robbing them of their power over our nightmares.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein follows a plot that is essentially the same as any of the many other studio sequels like Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man, House Of Dracula, and so on.
		Lou Costello is an absolute genius at playing the role of a bumbling idiot; scenes which could easily have become old and drawn out in a hurry in the hands of a lesser comedian remain fresh and fall-off-the-chair hysterical when carried out by a master at the top of his game.
		Taken as pure comedy, this film is generally recognized as the very best Abbott and Costello movie ever made, even by people who are not usually horror fans, and it is an acclamation that is very hard to argue against.

	Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy DVD Review
		Most of the movie is spent watching mis-en-scenes of Abbott and Costello doing their shtick.
