Revised and updated since its first publication in 1990, this acclaimed critical survey covers the classic chillers produced by Universal Studios during the golden age of hollywood horror, 1931 through 1946.

Trekking boldly through haunts and horrors from The Frankenstein Monster, The Wolf Man, Count Dracula, nd The Invisible Man, to The Mummy, Paula the Ape Woman, The Creeper, and The Inner Sanctum, the authors offer a definitive study of the 86 films produced during this era and present a general overview of the period.

Unique to this edition are a new selection of photographs and poster reproductions and an appendix listing additional films of interest.
