I couldn't find "Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" which would be the next A&C monster film.
Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955)
Bud Abbott as Peter Patterson Lou Costello as Freddie Franklin Marie Windsort as Madame Rontru Michael Ansarat as Charlie Dan Seymourt as Josef Richard Deacont as Semu Kurt Katcht as Dr. Gustav Zoomer Richard Karlant as Hetsut Mel Wellest as Iben George Khouryt as Habid Edwin Parker as Klaris, the mummy Peggy King as vocalist
Although the ending credits list Bud Abbott as playing Peter Patterson and Lou Costello as playing Freddie Franklin they never actually use those names in the film. Abbott refers to Costello as "Lou" and Costello calls Abbott as "Abbott".
Two broke Americans are stuck in Egypt. Abbott overs a Dr. Zoomer saying he needs two good men to accompany a mummy on a trip to the US. He takes Costello to to Dr. Zoomer's, to ask for the job but Dr. Zoomer has been murdered. The duo gain possession of a medalion wanted by the followers of Klaris and up being persued by the cultists, a woman who wants the treasure of Klaris and the mummy, Klaris himself.
Not as good as Meet Frankenstein or Meet The Invisiible Man.
This is the last Abbott and Costello film. Lou Costello wanted to star in his own films. His only film without Bud Abbott, "The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock" (1959), was not released until after his sudden death, by hearttack.
Lou Costello died March 3, 1959. Bud Abbott died April 24, 1974.
