    A perfect Halloween costume. Cheap, frightening, recognizable, warm to wear, and overall just plain cool looking.

      Indeed, but plenty of people (at least in my limited experience) at least recognize the image if not the man himself.

      WarlordOfRome take it from experience: it can get super warm. If you are dressing up, go on a super cold night or stay cool indoors.

  • @RavenHouseMystery
    @RavenHouseMystery 7 лет назад +29

    I agree that Abbott & Costello Meet The Invisible Man may be the funniest of the "Meet" series. With only one Universal "monster" in the story, the film gives Bud and Lou more time to focus on many different comedic gags, including the boxing match and multiple scenes at a restaurant. The waiter who serves Bud and Lou (w/Invisible Man) at the restaurant is perfect with his puzzling expressions.
