Universal Monsters

The classic Universal Monster movies represented the first real blockbuster films of the sound era, even if some of the films considered as part of the UM catalogue were silent. The Universal Monster films introduced horror cinema into the mainstream as well as making such names as Dracula and Frankenstein household words.

In many ways the Universal Monsters were the first real introduction into movies for me and when I started building stats for MSH, they were among the first characters I captured.
