 After Abbott and Costello's haunted-house comedy "Hold That Ghost" (1941) became a smash hit, the East Side Kids released the similar "Spooks Run Wild" with Bela Lugosi later that year.Lugosi went on to help make "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein," one of A&C's most popular and critically acclaimed comedies.The basic premise, centered around Dracula's scheme to transplant Costello's brain into the Frankenstein monster (played by Glenn Strange), was duplicated a few months later by The Bowery Boys in "Master Minds" (1949).
