Customer Reviews

Universal's Wolfman-The Monster Everbody Loved
Universal's Wolf Man is one of the three classic horrors from that great movie studio. Although few people consider Lon Chaney Jr. a superior actor, he himself used to boast "The Wolf Man was my baby". As for me I always considered the Wolf Man my personal favorite.

Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolf Man are almost universally admired as the original films of the classic horror series. From among these three creatures none was considered more sympathetically, or loved more than Larry Talbot. Let's face it, Lon Chaney was the Wolf Man and I think something about the big lug helped create the character so many of us loved so much.

The Frankenstein monster and the count were both portraid by several actors for Universal with some measure of financial success. Can you recall the Univeral studio ever attempting to have the Talbot Wolf Man portraid by any stand in actor? They wouldn't even consider it.

This DVD was the result of an excellent transfer from a good film original and should be added to every collection of classic horror. The other films featured in this box set are also fine works in the UNIVERSAL tradition. This a good set to purchase and well worth the price.

PRESENT
I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY NEFEW AND HE LOVES IT
HE WAS SO HAPPY HIS AUNTIE GOT THIS FOR HIM FOR HIS BIRTHDAY AND AMAZON WAS THE ONLY PLACE I FOUND IT AND IT SAVED MY LIFE FOR SURE SINCE HE WANTED THIS SO BAD

Stands the test of time
As a "baby boomer" these films were made before I was born, but the stories are classic and even more amazing are the special effects. Multi-million dollar extravaganzas can leave something to be desired, but are the films being aired on TV during Halloween now. Halloween is my favorite celebration of the year and these movies are a must.
