Cereal At Midnight

Umbrella's UNIVERSAL HORRROR: MONSTERS AND CURIOSITIES box set consists of a stunning 45 movies spread across 19 discs and spans 38 years in the company's B-movie output. In this video, I make the case for why this release is not only my favorite of the year so far, but of huge importance, as well.

There's no shortage of revisionist monster movies these days, with both Guillermo Del Toro and Luc Besson bringing beloved Gothic literary classics ( Frankenstein and Dracula , respectively) back to the big screen in recent months. Now Maggie Gyllenhaal--quite a name herself--throws her hat into the ring with The Bride ! (The exclamation point is perhaps included to distinguish this 2026 movie from the 1985 movie starring Sting and Jennifer Beals.) This is Gyllenhaal's second feature film as writer/director and by far her most ambitious to date.  The logline of this movie is simple: what if Frankenstein and his Bride were dropped into 1930s Chicago and had a crime spree akin to that of Bonnie and Clyde? Because this movie was made at Warner Bros. and not at Universal, we're not quite in  Boris Karloff and Elsa Lanchester territory here, though there are nods. Instead, this is the Frankenstein of Mary Shelley's original novel, erudite and civilized--until he isn't. ...

Equal parts Southern Gothic and Film Noir, Paramount's  Among the Living  is set against the backdrop of a sprawling southern plantation-style mansion that houses long-held secrets, madness, and murder.  John Raden (Albert Dekker) has returned to his hometown for the burial of his father, a wealthy and powerful figure who was the owner of the mill that employs many of the townspeople. After the funeral, he discovers a horrible secret: his twin brother, whom he had thought to be dead for 25 years after a fight with his father, is, in fact, alive! He's been locked away deep within the Raden House all along, completely insane. The town's doctor (played by Harry Carey) forged the death certificate and has been carrying the lie ever since; with the father dead, it's time for secrets long buried to be revealed at last. Before anyone has time to deal with the news, John's maniacal twin brother Paul (also played by Albert Dekker) escapes and heads into town. There he rents ...

Brian Trash provides an overview of Rankin/Bass and the Animagic process, culminating with the maddest party of the year!

When it comes to the icons of horror, none are more famous than the Universal Monsters! Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Creature From the Black Lagoon are the most recognized monsters ever to grace the silver screen. In this video, we'll talk about what makes them special and why they've endured for nearly a century.

I recently had the great pleasure of picking up Universal's newly-released The Invisible Man Legacy Collection , which contains all six films from the classic horror series. As I've been making my way through the set, it occurs to me that I've been unfair to this particular franchise; I have relegated the character of The Invisible Man to second-string status, not of the same pedigree as the titans of horror, particularly Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Boris Karloff's Frankenstein, and Lon Chaney Jr.'s Wolf Man. In all honesty, I'm still struggling with whether or not The Invisible Man, The Creature From The Black Lagoon, and The Mummy exist on a lower level than their iconic brethren, but I will also admit that I think I've misjudged The Invisible Man, particularly the first film in the series from 1933. It's time for a Cereal At Midnight review!

This is what rock bottom looks like.

A new Mummy movie is looming from Universal with promises (threats?) that it's the first of a new shared universe (a "Dark Universe," if you will) that will revive all their classic monsters for modern popcorn munchers. Because the marketing machine is in full swing, all the previous Mummy movies have just been re-released, with some of them restored in HD for the first time.What better excuse to binge on classic horror? In this inaugural installment, we're looking at the film that started it all: 1932's The Mummy .
