The Universal Classic Monsters: Complete 30-Film Collection showcases all of the original films featuring the most iconic monsters in motion picture history including Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Phantom of the Opera and Creature from the Black Lagoon. Starring some of the most legendary actors including Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr., Claude Rains and Elsa Lanchester in the roles that they made famous, these films set the standard for a new horror genre with revolutionary makeup, mood-altering cinematography and groundbreaking special effects. Featuring hours of revealing bonus features, these landmark movies defined the horror genre and are still regarded as some of the most unforgettable characters ever to be filmed. Review: A near-perfect collection - The Universal Classic Monsters are among the finest cinematic masterpieces ever to grace the screen, and this collection represents a must-have in the libraries of both horror fans in particular and cinema fans in general. In fact, one could call it a near-perfect collection. To be sure, not all of these classic films are as fine of masterpieces as the most famous of them. We all know Dracula, Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the others, but we don't necessarily remember all of their sequels. Partly that's because the sequels don't quite live up (with a few exceptions) to the original films. But at the same time, the entire Universal Monsters franchise is so foundational to cinema horror that it's worth revisiting and remembering even the weaker entries in the collection (even the weakest of which is still quite a good film). The collection itself is the perfect addition to any horror film library even though it has a couple quirks. For one thing, this boxed set is just a repackaged collection of each individual monster's collection, which results in a couple of the films being duplicated within the collection. For example, the films House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula, and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein appear in both the Dracula and the Frankenstein cases because both monsters appeared in those films. That's certainly not a flaw in the collection (and one could even argue it's a virtue, because it means each monster's case is complete in case you wanted to watch through the entirety of one monster's films in order), but it does indicate that the discs themselves don't contain anything new to this particular collection that you wouldn't already have if you'd purchased the individual monster collections earlier. The one thing that is unique to this collection is the small booklet containing some of the history of the Universal Monsters. While I bought the collection for the movies and not for the extra booklet, I was quite pleased to find it's actually a well-produced little document and it was a pleasure to read through some of the history. Arguably the only flaw in the collection is that it takes certain liberty with the word "complete." For instance, this collection does not contain Lon Chaney's 1925 silent The Phantom of the Opera, though it does contain the 1943 technicolor remake starring Claude Rains. However, while it may not be complete by the strictest definition, it is certainly a near-complete collection, and well worth owning. It would make a perfect gift for any horror fan. Review: A fantastic addition to any collection - Fast delivery and good quality. What can I add to everything that has been said about these movies? This box is a must for collectors who love the Universal Monsters. It's packed with special features, although the booklet could have been better. For the price I paid—it was on sale—it’s a fantastic addition to my collection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Arthur Lubin, Claude Rains, Edgar Barrier, George Waggner, Nelson Eddy, Susanna Foster | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,745 Reviews | | Format | Blu-ray, NTSC, Subtitled | | Genre | Comedy, Drama, Horror, Mystery & Suspense, Mystery & Suspense/Thrillers, Science Fiction & Fantasy Genre Comedy, Drama, Horror, Mystery & Suspense, Mystery & Suspense/Thrillers, Science Fiction & Fantasy See more | | Language | English | | Runtime | 46 hours and 4 minutes | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Arthur Lubin, Claude Rains, Edgar Barrier, George Waggner, Nelson Eddy, Susanna Foster - **Format:** Blu-ray, NTSC, Subtitled - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 46 hours and 4 minutes ## Images ![Universal Classic Monsters: Complete 30-Film Collection - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81owEnHpMvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A near-perfect collection *by B***S on June 20, 2021* The Universal Classic Monsters are among the finest cinematic masterpieces ever to grace the screen, and this collection represents a must-have in the libraries of both horror fans in particular and cinema fans in general.
