100 plus pages hardback book included looking at legacy of Universal's monster universe..

I dont know why there are some films excluded other than that they might be being released on another set down the road and others such as the DRACULA, WOLF MAN(and werewolf) and MUMMY films have already been released on individual sets last year..

Any commentaries have yet to be mentioned..

. . the DRACULA, WOLF MAN (and werewolf) and MUMMY films have already been released on individual sets last year..

An odd set. They left off the first Frankenstein and Invisible man movies (plus IM Revenge) and the Creature movies and TIE and ICFOS. '43 Phantom, too. Weird not to do a stand-alone Frank set to go with the others.

So happy that Universal finally included their silent horror films in a classic monsters set.

It is a bit of pleasant surprise.

An odd set. They left off the first Frankenstein and Invisible man movies (plus IM Revenge) and the Creature movies and TIE and ICFOS. '43 Phantom, too. Weird not to do a stand-alone Frank set to go with the others.

Besides the ones previously mentioned being excluded, there are also THE OLD DARK HOUSE, SECRET OF THE BLUE ROOM, MYSTERY OF MARIE ROGET, SHE-WOLF OF LONDON, THE CAT CREEPS and THE SPIDER WOMAN STRIKES BACK...maybe saving them for a sort of follow up in the future?

[Mike Scott]

Wait! This is Umbrella. The Dracula, Mummy and Wolfman sets were from Viavision. That's why no Mummy, Dracula or WM movies (including "She Wolf"). They also have "Invisible Man" and "IM Revenge" in a 2-movie set and "Frankenstein" as a single. Also "Old Dark House" in a Whale box set. And TIE in their '50s sci-fi set. And the 4K box set of ICFOS. Also Phantom '43.
