Vaudevillainous



Many monsters meant boffo B.O.
Histrionics filled coffers with dough
They defined Universal
Though their final dispersal
With moronic jokes "offs" the whole show.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (Charles Barton; 1948) featured the big trio of Universal Monsters: The Monster (Glenn Strange), Dracula (Bela Lugosi), and the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr).
