Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

BA_Harrison This is the first Bowery Boys movie I've ever watched, and judging by what I've seen, I won't be in a hurry to check out their other movies, the 'boys' particular brand of slapstick and buffoonery leaving me straight-faced throughout.Clearly modelled after Abbot and Costello's 'Meet' series of films (which I also find not very funny), '..Meet The Monsters' sees Bowery boys Slip and Sach (Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall) paying a visit to a creepy mansion inhabited by a family of kooks and oddballs, each of whom want the unwary guests for their own nefarious reasons.With Hall's painfully unfunny dumb routine and Gorcey's excessive use of maladroits (that's fancy speak for using the wrong word), this film is already on shaky ground, but chuck in a moth eaten killer gorilla, a crap robot, and a rubber man eating tree, and what you have is a film that gives new meaning to the term 'lowbrow'.

utgard14 Slip and Sach become mixed up with a family of weirdos in an old dark house in this thirty-fourth entry in the series. The family is the highlight of this one, with John Dehner, Ellen Corby, Laura Mason, Paul Wexler, and Lloyd Corrigan all turning in enjoyable performances. Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall are fine as usual. Leo has some especially funny malapropisms in this one. David Gorcey and Bennie Bartlett get little to do. Bernard Gorcey is fun as Louie. It's a good B comedy with a lot of things for old horror and sci-fi fans, like a robot, a gorilla, a vampire, a man-eating plant, and a formula that turns a guy into a Mr. Hyde-type monster. Definitely one of the better later Bowery Boys films.

wes-connors After a baseball breaks the window of "Louie's Sweet Shop", problem-solving leader Leo Gorcey (as Terrence "Slip" Mahoney) decides he his fellow "Bowery Boys" - accomplice Huntz Hall (as Horace "Sach" Jones), brother David "Condon" Gorcey (as Chuck), and Benny "Bennie" Bartlett (as Butch) - should get the kids playing in the Bowery off the streets and onto a safe vacant lot. Telephoning the lot-owning "Gravesend Family" at home, Mr. Gorcey wrangles an invitation to their mansion.Mad scientist John Dehner (as Derek Gravesend) tells brother Lloyd Corrigan (as Anton) that Gorcey must be dim-witted, due to his mangling of the English language. The pair decide "Bowery Boys" would be perfect for head and brain transplanting experiments involving both a robot and a gorilla. Family matriarch Ellen Corby (as Amelia) would rather feed them to her man-eating tree. And, sexy vampire Laura Mason (as Francine) is looking forward to the arrival of new blood at the old house.As a film series, "The Bowery Boys" looked like it was (generally) in an insurmountable rut, after a string of unsatisfactory films (see especially those from 1952). The quality was never all that dependable, but the movies did successfully entertain a targeted audience. While seeming to be finished, the series became sporadically good again, before the crashing in 1956."The Bowery Boys Meet the Monsters" was one of the a high points; it was followed by the bad "Jungle Gents" (1954), then the good "Bowery to Bagdad" (1955). The title "The Bowery Boys Meet the Monsters" suggests some inspiration from "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" (1948), but this situation is more clearly swiped from Charles Addams' witty "The Addams Family" (begun as a comic strip in 1938), which spawned the memorable 1960s television series and imitations like this film.****** The Bowery Boys Meet the Monsters (6/6/54) Edward Bernds ~ Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, Bernard Gorcey, Paul Wexler

vampi1960 Growing up in new jersey i remember them showing the Bowery boys movies every Sunday,and being a monster fan this was my favorite Bowery boys movie,huntz hall and Leo gorcey want to turn a vacant lot into a baseball field for the Bowery kids so they will have a safer place to play baseball,actually called stick-ball in new jersey and new york. they find it is owned by some kooky Addams family types.there's a gorilla in a cage,a man eating plant,and a big clunky robot.its all slapstick hijinks when the Bowery boys show up,some people called this the poor mans Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein.though not as good its funny,especially Leo gorceys vocabulary.as a Bowery boys movie i would say its the best one.made by allied artists(earlier known as monogram pictures)the Bowery boys went through many name changes, the Clancy street boys,dead end kids,eastside kids,and later the Bowery boys.i give this vintage gem 7 out of 10.
