Two new ones plus a few I had updated so they now have the straightened logos on the side covers like their VHS counterparts. :)

We not only get more, we get better!

Thanks for all of these.

Quick question. Does anyone here happen to have the French BD for FMWM?? I found this screen grab on a DVD site which shows the VHS artwork from the disc's photo gallery. It looks a bit less cropped than the one I posted. Question is if anyone here owns that BD any chance you can post a larger grab of this frame??? Thank you!

Two more. Updated Son of Frankenstein and a newbie, The Invisible Woman.

A message to anyone who gets the new French BD for The Mummy's Hand. If there's a still gallery on the disc could you please check to see if the VHS artwork is there and if possible please share a frame grab of it?? Some of the still galleries on the French BDs feature the VHS artworks which is why I'm asking.

These covers are absolutely gorgeous. Just a reminder of how those VHS covers were miles ahead of any Universal DVD releases. I might consider replacing the singles that I do have.

Now I'm wanting to create single burned DVDs for all of the sequels!

An 'uncropped' Frankenstein meets Wolf Man taken from a frame grab from the French BD (Thank you eegah over at CHFB for providing this). I put uncropped in quotes because this appears to be an uncropped copy of a crop since the actual VHS cover reveals more image than this image.

I was looking at some of the minor Universal horrors that were issued on VHS around this time.  Not part of the "Classic Collection", they were issued separately as "Horror Classics".



I like the VHS artwork for "Night Monster" better than what followed later.


Here is an example of the VHS box for "The Strange Door":



And what looks to be the original artwork:





Got me to wondering what Universal films were listed un the "Horror Classics" banner.  I know of the following titles:

Black Castle, The
Climax, The
Curse of the Undead
Night Monster

Inner Sanctum Mysteries - 3 double features
     Calling Dr. Death / Strange Confession
     Weird Woman / Frozen Ghost, The
     Dead Man's Eyes / Pillow of Death

What others were there?

"Murders in the Zoo" isn't under a particular banner/series name, otherwise I believe your list (for "Horror Classics") is complete.

I think you got confused Mike because the Amazon.com image oddly crops out the Horror Classics banner.

These (apparently) have no series:

THE INVISIBLE RAY
DR. CYCLOPS (Paramount)
SUPERNATURAL (Paramount)
THE UNINVITED (Paramount)

And HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES has a "Universal Cinema Classics" banner.
