Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Boris Karloff
Actually, despite the title of Abbott and Costell Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff, Boris Karloff isn’t the killer—but, he is quite funny in this movie. In a nutshell, Lou Costello plays a bellhop who is falsely accused of murder; His pal Bud Abbott tries to help, but only succeeds in getting Lou into more trouble. Boris Karloff plays the role of a hypnotist, who tries to hypnotise Lou into confessing—but Lou is too stupid to be hypnotized. As more bodies pile up, there’s plenty of opportunity for Lou to do his patented frightened reactions. A good movie, which I enjoyed, and hope you will too.

Trivia for Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff (1949)
- This was originally intended as a vehicle for Bob Hope . After the huge success of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948), Universal-International wanted another thrill comedy with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello so the script was rewritten for them. Oddly enough, the role played by Boris Karloff was originally written for a woman.
