ABOUT UNIVERSAL MONSTERS Over 75 years ago, Universal Pictures introduced the public to some of the most iconic horror characters in cinematic history that would live on in pop-culture for decades to come. Now known as Universal Monsters, these larger-than-life creatures, including Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, and The Wolf Man, continue to haunt our nightmares today. The original Frankenstein, written by 20 year old Mary Shelley, was first published in 1818. The 1931 film adaptation starring Boris Karloff as the monster made of corpse parts brought back to life, was a perfect blend of awe-inspiring terror and gentle heartbreaking pathos.
