Talk:Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

message: Can anyone provide a citation to prove that English and Australian censors required the removal of all the monsters from the film (as stated in the article)? If this is true, A&C Meet Frankenstein must have been released as a 10-minute short in those countries! 23skidoo 03:47, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I was just about to ask this myself. The British ban on horror films was lifted in 1945 with Dead of Night, two or three years before this film. Since the statement has not been verified in the six months(!) since the question was first asked, I am going to remove it. David L Rattigan 11:52, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure about the English board, or the reason for the title change there, but it is true that The Australian Film board required that the monsters be removed, this has been verified in the book "Abbott and Costello Meet Hollywood" Donaldd23 14:05, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Ismil and Abdel Meet Frankenstein is a latter-day alternate title for Haram Alek (1954); suggest this should be noted and referenced, since text presents them as separate films. The News Hound 20:49, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Unofficial remakes

message: When Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein was released on VHS the run time was reduced to 88 minutes. Why? Because the people producing the tape decided the transformation scene with Lon Chaney Jr was too scary. Why else would the cut the best change ever produced at that time or any other time. Ok maybe the transformation in the remake of The Werewolf of London could be called better. Was it not for the technology that existed when it was made. Technology Buddy Westmore did not have when he turned Chaney into the Wolfman for Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

thread_title: The Times Have Truly Changed 

message: In the scene where Costello enters Larry Talbot's room, Costello enters the room 3 times, not once. I saw it many times as a kid. Apparently that footage is now lost.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.85.123 (talk) 10:58, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
