From the manufacturer


Universal has put considerable effort into restoring and revitalizing each film, and while there's room to nitpick, it's hard to focus on little flaws when the whole of the package is so good. If you have any love for Golden Age horror classics, add this one to your cart or wish list post haste.

Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection (1931-1954)

The 8-disc Universal Classic Monsters: Essential Collection box set features all eight films; nine when you include Drácula, a Spanish-language version of Dracula that was shot simultaneously to the Lugosi picture, albeit with an entirely different cast.

The Collection comes packaged in an understated but handsome box set with a sturdy outer sleeve that houses a tome-like DigiPak (with one page devoted to each film) and a copy of 'The Original House of Horror, a 48-page booklet. The discs themselves slide inside of each DigiPak page - something that will be a sticking point for some since you have to grasp the edge of a disc to remove it from its snug hideaway.

Product Description

From the era of silent movies through present day, Universal Pictures has been regarded as the home of the monsters. Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection showcases 8 of the most iconic monsters in motion picture history including Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Phantom of the Opera and Creature From the Black Lagoon. Starring Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, Jr., Claude Rains and Elsa Lanchester in the roles that they made famous, these original films set the standard for a new horror genre with revolutionary makeup, mood-altering cinematography and groundbreaking special effects. Featuring over 12 hours of revealing bonus features plus an exclusive collectible book, each film has been digitally restored from high resolution film elements for the ultimate classic monster experience.

... Monster Collection is without a doubt one of the greatest Film collection a film finatic can have
The Universal Studios Classic Monster Collection is without a doubt one of the greatest Film collection a film finatic can have. For the asking price it is worth it, great condition as per DVD's, DVD cases and the with the original poster design covers. Very colorful and awesome for my Horror collection. This version is the non-Blu Ray version obviously and the quality is great, has Special features and even a biography of the cast and production regarding the film. The only complain I can even make is the box set the DVDs arrived in has some minor damages but there so small it's hardly noticable so trival to say the least. Aside from that this DVD collection is almost near perfect.
Thank you for your feedback

Clásica y montruosa edición!
el empaque, los discos y el diseño es un justo homenaje al Universal Classic Monsters, además está genial la adición de la versión en español de Drácula protagonizada por Lupita Tovar, Carlos Villar, Eduardo Arozamena entre otros.
100% satisfecho con la compra y con la oferta.
Gracias a Amazon por traer estos títulos de colección a un precio inigualable 👍🏼
