'Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein' remains the reference point, thanks largely to Wilbur Grey. The list also holds 'Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy'. The filmography reaches back well before the best-known title. Horror accounts for the largest share of the work. Work has kept arriving for 100 years, which is its own kind of achievement.
