Universal Horror

Posted on Thursday, October 11, 2012 by fillups

Universal Studios made a name for itself from the late 1920s through the 1950s with a series of horror films that created the ultimate movie versions of several monsters. Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Wolf Man and many others were established in these influential and popular movies.

The monsters continue to be popular up to today.  Local theaters are showing Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein on October 24th and the Stanford Theater is devoting the month of October to the Universal films of the thirties.

All of the classic Universal monsters are lurking at the SCCLD libraries waiting to be checked out to share the chills that have gripped generations of movie goers.
