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.

Icons of Horror: Universal Monsters

Image
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.

The Invisible Man (1933)

Image
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!
