The Universal Monsters movies from Universal Studios are Hollywood’s seminal horror franchise. Creating such pop culture icons as Bela Lugosi’s Dracula, Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein Monster, and Lon Chaney, Jr.’s Wolf Man, the characters became synonymous with the horror film genera. And while Lugosi, Karloff, and Chaney Jr. played other characters within the franchise, they are forever linked to the roles they so memorably originated. Just as quintessential are Karloff’s Mummy, Elsa Lanchester’s portrayal of the Monster’s bride, Ricou Browning’s underwater performances as the Creature, and Claude Rains’ depiction of the Invisible Man. And each of these horror archetypes are instantly recognizable the world over.
