 Frankenstein - The Legacy Collection November 3, 2008
Great set of classic films!!!
Brought back memories of watching these as a kid,
and they are STILL fun to watch.
Excellent collection November 3, 2008
This is a collection of every "Frankenstein" film made by Universal studios in the 1930s. The set must be judged by the quality of the first two films in the collection: 1931's "Frankenstein" and 1935's "Bride of Frankenstein." Both films are in fairly pristine condition, although "Frankenstein" seems to be less vivid and clean than the 1999 VHS transfer. Only minimal restoration seems to have been done to the other three films in this collection. Overall, the image and sound qualities are very high. This 2004 release lacks about half the extras found on the 2006 "75th Anniversary" release, and one wonders why Universal did this version. (Obviously, to build off interest on it's 2004 film "Van Helsing," a true stinker of a movie.)
My biggest complaint: You have to turn Disc 1 over to get the the fifth film, "Ghost of Frankenstein," to play. BAD planning!

The definative Frankenstein October 24, 2008
Others made horror movies before 1931's Frankenstein, but there is no more iconic movie monster, no more iconic fictional character, than Frankenstein. Later remakes of the film may be closer to the literary version, but Universal did Frankenstein the best. Here we have the complete series of Universal's Frankenstein films, excepting The Wolfman Meets Frankenstein, which is available in the Wolfman Legacy Collection, and the Abbot and Costello send up. With well made, informative, interesting bonus material this is a must have collection for all classic horror fans. Fans of Young Frankenstein will be delighted to see the elements taken from all the classics to make that film.
Another Hard-Core Classic!!! October 16, 2008
This is a really good classic horror film! Boris Karloff did an awesome job as Frankenstein's monster! A young scientist robs graves and gets a brain and creates human life. However, it turns out to be a monster and a murderer. He escapes and and meets a cute little girl named Maria, and throws her into the river. Soon after, the stereo-typed townspeople get their dogs, torches, and pitchforks to hunt the monster. If you love classic horror, you'll love FRANKENSTEIN!!!
