Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff 4K UHD + Blu-ray Extras Disc with Slipcover (Kino Lorber) [Preorder]

Preorder scheduled for release on January 26, 2027

Brand New HDR/Dolby Vision Master – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Original Camera Negative! Abbott and Costello provide hair-raising and hilarious thrills tracking—and being tracked by—a killer in this slick murder-mystery spoof. The scene is a swank hotel where a prominent lawyer is murdered. Bud Abbott is Casey, the house detective, and Lou Costello is Freddie, the bellhop. Although there are plenty of suspicious characters about, the murder is pinned on Freddie, who sets out to catch the real killer and clear himself. Swami Talpur—played with delightful menace by the legend Boris Karloff—heads Freddie’s suspect list, especially when Talpur tries to hypnotize the bumbling bellhop into confessing. Things get hairier and scarier for Freddie when dead bodies keep popping up to incriminate him! Romping through tailored-to-fit roles, Bud and Lou masterfully mix mirth and the macabre in this mesmerizing companion piece to the immortal Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. This Special Edition includes the feature film on 4K UHD, and Special Features on Blu-ray.
