Universal Horror

Recommended Posts

I picked up the Dracula boxed set today and it has all sorts of stuff on it that makes an old school horror collector's mouth drop. The original Lugosi movie, the Spanish version, Dracula's Daughter, Son of Dracula, and House of Dracula. Some of the extras include trailers, a documentary, commentary with a couple of historians, pics, etc. It's funny but I can remember a time when most of these titles alone on VHS were 20.00. That's the price of this entire collection!

 

My dad ended up getting the Wolf Man series, and it doesn't sound nearly as good. It has the definitive Lon Chaney, Jr. version, Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, but the other two movies are dubious: Werewolf of London, which isn't really a Wolf Man (re: Lawrence Talbot) movie, and She Wolf of London, which was a crappy B programmer.

 

I'm not sure what all is on the Frankenstein boxed set in terms of extras, but with the Karloff original, Bride, Son, Ghost, and House of Frankenstein how can you go wrong? That's probably the best of the three sets, but I didn't get it since I already have DVDs of Frankenstein and the double feature Son of Frankenstein/Ghost of Frankenstein.

 

Anyone else pick any of these sets up?

I'm a DVD and box set fan, but no, don't have any of those.

 

How much did all of that come to?
