Ever since the early days of cinema, starting with the 1910 FRANKENSTEIN, monsters have been the stuff that movies are made of. This guidebook includes all of Universal's "Classic Monster" movies from DRACULA (1931) to ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY (1955) and THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US (1956) to Hammer Film's CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1957) to THE LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES (1974). Also reviewed are related horrors like Turkey's DRACULA IN ISTANBUL (1953), Mexico's THE NEW INVISIBLE MAN (1958), Japan's FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD (1965), Spain's COUNT DRACULA (1970), Italy's LADY FRANKENSTEIN (1972), and Germany's NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE (1979) to name only a few.

HYDE (1920) and BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) to off-shoots like I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF (1957), BILLY THE KID VERSUS DRACULA (1966), and BLACULA (1972), this tome has got them all!
