Barton from a screenplay by Robert Lees, Frederic I. Rinaldo and John Grant.

The reason "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" was released in England under the erroneous title "Meet the Ghosts" was due to government censorship laws, which temporarily banned horror movies. Therefore, all scenes featuring Frankenstein's monster, Dracula and the Wolfman were removed by cutting them out of the film, hence the change of title in England and also Australia.
