Corrected entry: In the train station, Sandra comes up the counter where McDougal is waiting. They are strangers and are not introduced. However, after their brief dialogue when Sandra turns to leave she addresses him by name: "Very interesting, Mr. McDougal."
Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein (1948)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Charles Barton
Starring: Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi, Bud Abbott, Lou Costello
Continuity mistake: If you look carefully at the monster (Frankenstein) you will see that his face is different in the ending scenes. The reason is, during the movie you see the monster take the woman doctor and throw her out the laboratory window. You then see the monster kind of stumble, which he really did and broke his ankle. So in the final scenes they replaced Lon Chaney Jr. as wolfman with a stuntman, and Lon Chaney Jr. finished the movie as the monster.
Trivia: At first, Lou Costello did not want to be in the film because he thought the movie was too silly. But when Universal (the company that made the film) offered him $50,000 to be in the movie, Costello said he would be delighted.
Question: Why would Dracula need to put Wilbur's brain in the body of Frankenstein's Monster? I understand the Count wanted a Monster who would be much more obedient and easier to control, however it seemed like the Monster was that way already; he would follow Dracula's commands with "Yes, Master." So what did Count Dracula need Wilbur for again?
Answer: The monster may have seemed obedient, but its overall behavior is unknown to us. It's possible that it was at times defiant, obstinate, or just didn't follow instructions completely or competently. It's also just a plot device for a silly movie. There has to be some reason, however flimsy, why Dracula wants Wilbur's brain.

Correction: Of course she would know who he is, she was involved in helping him get the 'displays' for his horror museum, so there is no reason to think she would not know who he is.
