Summary

In 1931, Universal Studios release Dracula starring Bela Legosi. It was a box-office success, and the first in a series of films featuring macabre characters and chilling atmospherics. Neibaur reviews the key horror films that Universal produced into the mid-1950s, provided production information, critical commentary, and an overall assessment of the movie's significance. He also examines their impact on popular culture, into the cinemas of today
