Product Description
Eight-disc set includes: Dracula (1931)After starring in the title role on Broadway, Bela Lugosi became forever identified with the bloodsucking count in director Tod Browning's Gothic film adaptation. Follow Dracula from his Transylvanian castle to England as he ensnares the unwary in his diabolical schemes. With Dwight Frye, Helen Chandler, Edward Van Sloan. 75 min. BW/Rtg: NR Frankenstein (1931)Based on the novel by Mary Shelley, this classic chiller helped usher in the age of the Universal monsters. When mad scientist Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) pieces together body parts taken from various corpses with hopes of creating life, his resulting production (Boris Karloff, in a career-defining performance) demonstrates the consequences of toying with nature. With Mae Clarke, Dwight Frye; directed by James Whale. Restored version; 71 min. BW/Rtg: NR The Invisible Man (1933)He's rarely seen in this, his film debut, but Claude Rains lends a sinister presence as H.G. Wells' "out of sight" scientist in this horror/fantasy classic from "Frankenstein" director James Whale. Rains stars as Dr. Jack Griffin, who discovers a formula that can render him invisible. But little does he know that it carries with it a dangerous side effect: It also turns him into a murdering madman. With Gloria Stuart, William Harrigan, and quintessential town biddy Una O'Connor. 71 min. BW/Rtg: NR The Wolf Man (1941)Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolf bane blooms and the autumn moon is bright. Classic chiller stars Lon Chaney, Jr. As Larry Talbot, a man marked with the sign of the beast. Returning to his family's Welsh ancestral home, Talbot is the recipient of a lycanthropic curse when he's attacked by a vicious werewolf. With Claude Rains, Evelyn Ankers, Bela Lugosi, and the ever-wizened Maria Ouspenskaya. 70 min. BW/Rtg: NR Standard; Soundtracks: English DTS HD mono Master Audio, French DTS mono; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish; audio commentary; featurettes; 1931 Spanish-language version of "Dracula" starring Carlos Villarías; theatrical trailers; photo gallery; bonus short "Boo!"

It is my hope that Universal will begin work on a second volume with 4K UHD updates of those superb movies. I would personally like to see a second volume consisting of four films, in 4K UHD, including: Bride of Frankenstein, The Mummy (with Karloff), The Son of Frankenstein, and The Phantom of the Opera (with Claude Rains). Perhaps a third volume showing those fabulous movies from the 1940s with multiple classic monster characters in each feature. With the next volume afterwards having all three movies representing the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Plus, those very highly respected silent movies about The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Phantom of the Opera with the one and only Lon Chaney Senior.
In addition, it was with much pleasure to be able to view all of these excellent documentaries related to those movies which were properly provided with open captioning for folks who are not well versed in the spoken English language and those who are deaf. The documentaries were very well done with viewpoints concisely provided by prominent horror movie scholars. They should not be missed by anyone and certainly enhances the viewing pleasure of these movies.
All in all, it is a well done and much appreciated product. Keep up the good work Universal!
In my opinion, FRANKENSTEIN, THE INVISIBLE MAN and THE WOLF MAN are “must-haves” for the film collector in this format. There were scenes in all three that were so vivid that it almost seemed as if I was “on location” when the film was made. (I’m a huge fan of FRANKENSTEIN, and I would have purchased this set if only to have the “little Maria at the lake” scene! Yes, it was that amazing!)
My hesitation with DRACULA (and the reason why I’ll likely rely on the Blu-ray copy for future viewings) is two-fold. First, in scenes where there is a great deal of gray-shading, the appearance of film grain is so noticeable that it is distracting … and DRACULA has a lot of fog. Secondly, I had never noticed before that quite a few scenes had the featured character in slightly soft-focus. As an example, one shot has Harker in the foreground in slightly soft-focus, while the lamp on a table some distance behind him is sharp and clear! I have absolutely no idea why it was shot this way, but it causes the 4K UltraHD version to appear flat with only one or two shots that provided the depth frequently seen in the other films. I could adjust my screen’s setting to a darker “Cinema” resolution, but I’ll stay with the Blu-ray for this one.
Still, I think this set is wonderful and is highly recommended.
Delivery is another story. Like the companion 4K set with Bride, Mummy, Creature, and Phantom it took two attempts to get a copy not dented, battered, and broken from Amazon. A real easy solution would be shipping these particular sets in a box instead of a plastic, barely padded mailer envelope. For the money it would save the company from replacing broken and dented sets. It would also cut down on customers waiting on replacements. Ridiculous that I received another item that would be just fine in a mailer envelope in a box and this in the mailer... That aside, I am really happy with the product itself and it's a welcome upgrade.
Jam-packed with bonus features, and wonderful design on the box set.
