Universal Horrors

One Hollywood studio was responsible for introducing the masses to classic monsters and original horrors beginning in early 1931.

Universal Studios brought to life such horrors as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman and dozens of other demonic denizens of the night.

The revised and updated book: Universal Horrors The Studio’s Classic Films 1931-1946, by authors Tim Weaver, Michael and John Brunas and published by McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers, is a critical survey of the classic chiller films.

Eighty six films were produced during that period and included the classics I just mentioned along with The Creeper, The Mummy, The Invisible Man and other films of that genre.

Film coverage includes cast lists, credits, storylines, production history and insider information, analysis, cast and crew commentaries all accompanied with photos.

It’s absolutely intriguing, fascinating, informative and a real treat to anyone who loves classic horror films.

The second edition of the book is jam-packed with so much information it’s hard to take it all in.

Thoroughly researched and organized the book lists the movies by the years they were released. Be sure to check out the appendixes and glossary.
