Book Review: The Monster Movies of Universal Studios by James L. Neibaur

The Monster Movies of Universal Studios by James L. Neibaur

This review of monster movies from the classic period (from the 1930s Dracula featuring Bela Lugosi and Frankenstein featuring Boris Karloff) hits all the monster films, finishing with the Creature from the Black Lagoon series and the Abbott and Costello Meets... movies. Each film gets a bit of background, a plot synopsis, some artistic discussion, and the reaction of critics and audiences. It's straightforward and easy to read, providing inspiration to visit or revisit (or avoid) some classics in the horror genre.

Mildly recommended--if you are a fan of this era and genre of film making, you will enjoy the book.
