I like the atmosphere of the old movies to. They put bats and spiders,foggy graveyards. Scared me when i was a kid, I'm 37 now, wonder what affect todays movies would've had.

If you want them all at once, the Legacy collections are great. Get all five Frankie movies in one package. Buying all six collections, you get the lions share of the entire Universal Monster oeuvre.

I love some of these old films, The creature from the black lagoon and the wolfman are my favorite. I have been meaning to pick up the universal DVD packs for the old monters, Does anyone have them, are they worth getting?

Sounds like you have a nice collection there.
I use to have models, trading cards, posters and many Famous Monsters of Filmland mags. That was about it and I have no idea where any of them are now.

I have models, plush, figures, posters, standees, DVDs, VHS, LVD, polystone busts, trading cards, sweatshirts, books, scriptbooks... Basically whatever I had the money for when I found them. Got three posters and four decks of cards featuring the monsters, just last week.

I collect Universal Monster stuff, but not to the fetishistic extreme I'd like it to be. Have since I was a kid. Karloff, Lugosi, the Chaneys, Ms. Lanchester and Mr Laughton, Claude Rains, Vincent Price... They are the end all and be all to me. HUGE fan!

Yea the 75th Anniversary edition of Dracula and Frankenstein is also being released on September 26th.. I'd pick it up but that is one jam packed day so I will probably wait a while..

That looks awesome. It might even be worth picking up.

Creature from the Black Lagoon has just stood out to me. But I cant even come close to forgetting about The Wolf Man or Dracula or the rest. I mean, those universal monsters inspired film makers like George Romero, enough said.

I actually saw that movie in 3-D when I was a kid.

Man, this thread brings back memories.
I remember having little figures of all the monsters. They weren't the ones from the model kit though. They were more like the old school Star Wars action figures. They came in a haunted house or something. It included The Wolf Man, Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, The Mummy, The Creature, and the Phantom of the Opera. Those were the days.

But speaking about the movies themselves, they are all classics. I've been meaning to revist them. I just might watch The Wolf Man this weekend.

I remember as a little kid I would have those universal monster model kits. I use to love putting them together and painting them. my favorite color was red for blood
Who knows where they are today but for some reason thinking about how much fun I had sure brings back memories.
