A survey of the vintage Universal classics.
From the Introduction-
"The aim of this book is to examine the Universal horror film not only as a body of work, but on a picture-by-picture basis. The times have changed and many of these movies are ready for fresh evaluation. Classic reputations, once etched in stone, have fallen by the wayside, while some of the more creative, entertaining B's and other lesser titles have yet to receive their full due. Indeed, many of these pictures have not been appraised, individually or collectively, since they were written up in trade papers upon their original release."
