Bud Abbott and Lou Costello spread their jollity all over war-time America, and on through the 50s. They are remembered for one act in particular: "Who’s On First?" The skit was as much a classic as the pastime it spoofed: baseball. When you press the red button on this collectible figure set, the original skit runs a full six minutes, re-enacted line-by-line by the duo. The electronic Bud and Lou (13-inches tall, including the added height of the pitcher’s mound they stand on) talk to each other as they gesture with their mouths, heads and arms.

While Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are more famously known for their straight comedy routines, they did make a number of films in which horror played a crucial role. The first part of this critical reference examines the Abbott and Costello "Meet the Monsters" spoof films (Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Mummy).
