A new computer-animated reworking of ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, a project that has entered the test stage at Cantina Pictures, a CGI company presided over by pioneering founder Doug Beswick. Combining the zany humor of the 1940s Abbott and Costello classics with the "monster rallies" of the same period, the project attempts to bring humor and comedy together in refreshing ways. Scripted and produced by Scott Essman of Visionary Cinema (JACK PIERCE: THE MAN BEHIND THE MONSTERS DVD), MEET THE MONSTERS is beginning life as a two-minute test film, utilizing a key scene in the middle of the story in which Chick and Wilbur riff on the names of the monster characters before encountering Frankenstein's Monster face-to-face..
