Product Description
From the studio that created the horror genre comes five terrifying films that will send chills down your spine and bring terror to your heart in the Universal Horror Classic Movie Archive! Unearthed from the vaults and on DVD for the very first time, Universal Pictures invites you to journey through fog-filled moors, into haunted mansions and through secret hallways to meet a chilling collection of mad scientists, crazed circus performers, mysterious butlers, maniacal killers and one very ape-like woman! Prepare yourself for hours of pure terror starring some of the most iconic actors in the history of horror, including Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney, Jr. The Black Cat Bela Lugosi and Basil Rathbone star in this mystery about a group of greedy heirs stuck in a creepy mansion where, one by one, both cats and people turn up dead. Man Made Monster When a mad scientist transforms a carnival performer (Lon Chaney, Jr.) into a murderous monster, he creates a path of destruction leading to an edge-of-your-seat climax! Horror Island What started out as a treasure-making scheme ends up deadly for a group of people stuck in a seemingly haunted castle with a killer known only as “The Phantom.” Night Monster Bela Lugosi stars in this horrific tale filled with strange characters, secret passages, dark storms and a murderer who’s mastered the art of “mind over matter.” Captive Wild Woman A mad scientist turns an ape into a beautiful, but deadly, woman (Acquanetta) in this frightening film featuring groundbreaking make-up effects.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2010For Universal Horror fans, this is a five-movie collector's gem! Lugosi, Carradine, Atwill, Lon Jr., and Basil Rathbone....'nuff said! The DVD's are sharp and the sound excellent. This set is low on frills, but high on thrills! I'd describe these as "second tier" Shock Theatre titles. "Rare Scares"!(I remember "Night Monster" being "Shock Theatre"-televised in Chicago back in the day.).
If you know all 5 of these films, you are an A+ Universal fan with a Ph.D in monsterology!! I knew "Night Monster" very well, and "Man Made Monster" fairly well prior to purchase...but the other three were new to me, and nice surprises. And the sound and picture quality are oustanding across the board!
"The Black Cat" is a really interesting rarity---I NEVER saw it prior to buying this set. Basil Rathbone is at his best and very classy. Alan Ladd and Broderick Crawford are interesting co-stars...and there's a great and clever characterization by Bela as the creepy caretaker. To me, part "Ygor", part Bill Murray in "Caddyshack" in a strange way! (Honest!) This, of course, is a completely different movie than Bela and Boris' famous "Black Cat" film. Nonetheless, it has humor, creepiness, and first-rate performances. Give it a whirl!
For GREAT Halloween (or anytime) viewing, gotta love "Night Monster". Bela as the butler! All he needs is the cape, and he has the entire Dracula garb! Fog, creaks, classic spooky mansion,....Love, ya', Universal! Pass the popcorn! Hmmmm...It's LUGOSI, as THE BUTLER...It's always the BUTLER who is the monster, right? Well, maybe! Maybe not!.....I won't spoil it!
My third "pick-to-click" in the set is "Man Made Monster". What a great and engaging performance by Lon Chaney, Jr.. This is the prototype of his pre-werewolf-encounter "likeable Larry Talbot" screen "presence" and charm. There is a terrific naturalness in his role in "Man Made Monster". It is almost like a Chaney family home movie performance. So photogenic, and not to be missed by Chaney fans everywhere. In fact, Lon is so likeable, that once Lionel Atwill does his evil bidding, (with Chaney as victim), Atwill comes across as extra powerfully sinister and menacing. And by the way, check out supporting (and great) performances by the stars who play "Mr. Bailey" AND "Sam Wainwright" in "It's A Wonderful Life"...Star-wise, "Man Made Monster" kind of resmbles "It's A Wonderful Wolfman"! It's must-see viewing for Chaney/Atwill/Universal fans.
"Horror Island" and "Captive Wild Woman" are eclectic and cool,too. It's pretty neat that "Horror Island" reunites Dick Foran and Peggy Moran who worked so well together in "The Mummy's Hand"! All five movies are from circa 1941 or so...Gotta love 'em! Gotta have 'em!
At about $4 per movie, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this collection. You won't be disappointed.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2008This is a great set of B horror from Universal...that you previously couldn't find anywhere unless you paid some scalper who could care less about the films three times what it is was worth. The reason? Like the Ultimate Sci-Fi Collection, this was originally a Best Buy exclusive. Finally liberated from that status, these films will now be available in a general release for all to enjoy.
Every film in this set is a great B horror classic and the audio and video are very good, not unrestored like public domain packs. My favorite - "Captive Wild Woman". The title has it as "Captive Wild Women" indicating it is possibly some kind of prison film, and nothing could be further from the truth. Instead it seems to be borrowing from Val Lewton's themes about monsters and horror mirroring the human condition. Plus, Milburn Stone ("Doc" from Gunsmoke) is in the film! For those of you who didn't know, Stone toiled away in B horror films for years before he got his career role on TV in Gunsmoke. The Black Cat here is from 1941, not the 1934 classic scary old house tale with Karloff and Lugosi that is already on DVD, so you need not worry about double-dips on this one. Lugosi is in it, but he is more of a supporting character at this point.
Man Made Monster (1941) has Lon Chaney Jr. as the victim and Lionel Atwell as the mad scientist. I think Chaney gives one of his finest performances here - in my opinion, much better than in his "wolf man" films, and they weren't half bad. Horror Island is an OK film starring a bunch of people I never heard of, still the story is pretty good. Finally there is Night Monster (1942), another scary old house tale with Bela Lugosi and Lionel Atwill getting top billing yet a disappointing amount of screen time considering this. Buried in the credits you'll find Nils Asther as Agor Singh. It's a rather juicy role though Asther doesn't get much screentime. The sad part is that in the late silent era Asther had been a big star at MGM. However, his star fell far after the advent of sound films. He was born in Denmark and raised in Sweden, and his foreign accent was a hindrance in the talkies. By 1949 he was driving a truck.

Great addition for anyone looking to add to or complete their Universal Horror collection.
John Van HuizenReviewed in Canada on July 13, 20205.0 out of 5 stars Classic Finest
Aww collection of classic horror genre.
No disgusting unnecessary gore and NO
unnecessary use of the “F” word in every sentence.
david palmerReviewed in Canada on January 10, 20135.0 out of 5 stars Great Entertainment
This is a great little DVD. The films are classic horror from an era that showed far less gore and had a deeper psychological approach and left much to the viewer's imagination. The settings create a mood and keep your interest. Great old films from a truly wonderful era.
Robert BadgleyReviewed in Canada on August 5, 20121.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this let down!
I ordered this set not too long ago but I ended up having to return it.There are two discs here of some fair to good horror flicks from various years of long ago from Universal.I made a quick view of the first three flicks and was shocked at how terribly poor Universal had released these flicks onto DVD.They were in disappointing condition with much dirt and other built in defects,along with a heavy dose of graininess.
However,one cannot just return something because it looks poor.No,what really got me was the major flaw in the first film The Black Cat.I have always had a soft spot for this campy cult classic but the flaw in question happens as the old lady starts to read her will.She looks down at the paper and at this point the printing/transfer machine closes in on her and the film slows down.Immediately after you can see the film trying to speed back up and trying to sink the lips to the words being spoken.I thought this very odd,so I dug out my VHS copy and looked at the same scene.In the same scene on the VHS,the camera doesn't move in at all but the film does have a defect(a film emulsion crack)which passes quickly.So it seems Universal in this DVD release tried to hide the fact it was just releasing this film onto DVD using the same old print used on the VHS version;and on top of that trying to hide the defect which would have given it all away!
The condition of the films in general was bad enough but this "deception" was the straw that broke this camels back.And I would urge you to give this DVD set a wide pass.One should expect and get better than Universal gives us here.
