All hail the presence of two of horror films greatest, Bela Lagosi and Boris Karloff. Karloff's last film as the man-machine-beast is again at his best when he moans and groans his way from infantile-innocent to indestructible-angry giant. You knew when ...

I have owned these films on video for years and occasionally pop them in the VCR to revisit my childhood. I grew up watching these movies and consider them a staple of my childhood. It is nice to own them on DVD because, as we all know, videos can get ...

I have been a fan of the Universal monsters for as long as I can remember. These movies give us a chance to see some of the greatest actors of the Universal horror era (e.g., Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Jr., Lionel Atwill, Sir Cedwick Harwicke ...

OK, We all know that The Frankenstein series went from classic to campy though 7 Frankenstein films(I count Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein). Son of Frankenstein is a excellent film, but it could have been edited better. It's the longest in the ...

Son of Frankenstein is an impressive horror in which Karloff plays the Monster for the third and final time. Very stylish, with German cinematic expressionism an obvious influence on the film's stunning visuals.
Ghost of Frankenstein stars Lon Chaney, ...

My view of these two films runs counter to that of many Frankenstein fans. I found Son of Frankenstein rather disappointing, while Ghost of Frankenstein actually rather impressed me. I wasn't that impressed with Bela Lugosi's character Ygor in the ...

Like most sequels Son of Frankenstein stands or falls based on the script and direction. Luckily both are top flight in Rowland Lee's third installment of the Monster's saga. Karloff's last performance as the Monster isn't as powerful as Bride (he's ...

Though not directed by James Whale, as the first two entries in Universal's FRANKENSTEIN series were, SON OF FRANKENSTEIN is still a very good classic horror flick. Director Rowland V. Lee does create an appropriate gothic mood, and the sets are ...
