As part of its 100th Anniversary this year, Universal Studios Home Entertainment will offer special reissues of selected catalog titles, and the Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein Blu-ray will arrive in the September wave. This horror spoof stars legendary comedy duo Bud Abbott and Lou Costello (Buck Privates) as two hapless railroad baggage clerks who unwittingly loose Dracula (Bela Lugosi, Dracula) and Frankenstein's monster (Glenn Strange, House of Dracula) on the world.
Further compounding matters for Bud and Lou are a mad scientist (Charles Bradstreet, Lady in the Lake) who plans to swap Costello's brain with the monster's and the reappearance of Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr., High Noon), the tortured soul who turns into the Wolf Man when the moon is full.
Universal's Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack presents the film in its 1.37:1 original aspect ratio with a 2.0 DTS-HD Master Audio track. The set also includes a number of bonus materials, such as:
Commentary with film historian Gregory W. Mank

Production photographs
Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein streets on September 4th.
