"Universal" Monsters - the birth of the horror genre in Hollywood.
by alexanderdavies-99382 | Public
This low budget studio provided the general public with some of the most memorable horror films of the times. Names like Karloff and Lugosi would be forever associated with the genre. Before the first cycle of horror movies which began in 1931, an actor by the name of Lon Chaney Sr. would be the one responsible for laying the blueprint for what is defined as American horror cinema. The films from the early 30s would push the boundaries of what was deemed acceptable, making censorship inevitable.

The horror and humour compliment each other.
Not the classic some people think but still has good moments. Lugosi and Frye give the best performances.
The greatest of the first "Universal" horror cycle.
One of the last really good ones.
Unsettling and somewhat perverse. A masterpiece of Horror.
Karloff and Lugosi are relegated to the sidelines.
The only "Inner Sanctum" movie worth seeing.
Should have focused on the Phantom character.
