Description
The Universal Monsters: A Pantheon of Hollywood Legends For 75 years, these iconic creatures have captivated audiences in some of the most successful horror films ever made. From the dawn of cinema, Count Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, and other legendary beings ruled the mythical kingdom of Hollywood. Their stories were woven into a rich tapestry of cinematic history, with both Bela Lugosi's "Dracula" (1931) and Boris Karloff's "Frankenstein" (1931) marking the beginning of this enduring era. Over the next quarter century, these monsters headlined box office marquees around the world, with films featuring the Mummy, Wolf Man, Invisible Man, Phantom of the Opera, and many others. This book celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Golden Age of horror cinema, updated to include recent additions such as Guillermo del Toro's "The Shape of Water" (2017) and Tom Cruise's "The Mummy" (2017).
