About Frankenstein’s Monster

Mary Shelley’s classic horror novel Frankenstein is a tale regularly being retold—with more than 200 years of adaptations into all sorts of media, including stage plays, films, television episodes, comic books, and any other media available. One of the best-known versions was introduced in Universal Studios’ 1931 film Frankenstein. That led to a whole series of films: Frankenstein: Complete Universal Monsters Movies


About The Wolf-Man

Although not Universal's first werewolf picture, 1941's The Wolf Man launched one of the most important series in the Universal Monsters movies canon, one infused as much with tragedy as with horror. It was through this series that the studio saw a way to combine together different franchises—crossing over the Wolf Man films with Frankenstein, Dracula, and even Abbott and Costello.

About the Mummy

The 1932 film The Mummy was inspired by the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 and the “Curse of the Pharaohs.” The film is about an ancient Egyptian mummy discovered by a team of archeologists and brought back to life through a magic scroll. Now alive in modern day, the mummy searches for his lost love, whom he believes has been reincarnated into a modern woman. The film led to a series of sequels: The Mummy: Complete Universal Monsters Movies


About the Creature from the Black Lagoon

A group of scientists exploring the waters of South America find an unknown beast that lives beneath the surface. The gill-man appeared in three films. Related: Abbott and Costello vs. 12 Monsters—including Dracula, Mr. Hyde, and the Creature From the Black Lagoon


About Dracula

Since its publication in 1897, Bram Stoker's novel Dracula has enthralled generations of readers with the alluring malevolence of its undead Count, the most famous vampire in literature. Universal followed up the novel and the stage adaptation with 1931’s film Dracula. This led to whole series: Dracula: Complete Universal Monsters Movies
