John Brunas (1949–2025)

A must-read for all Universal Horror fans. This book proves all of the movies could have had some nice bonus features as they all have some interesting stories from the production. I do disagree with the author biases against Hammer Horror (I have nothing against Christopher Lee's athletic interpretation of Dracula), but its nothing that gets in the way of enjoying the book. A nice plus is the inclusion of the Sherlock Holmes movies, which I don't think fall under this category, but I found show more equally interesting to read about. show less

This is an excellent and comprehensive history of the horror movies released by Universal from 1931 to 1946. It's also a very good history of Universal Studios itself as well as many of the actors and actresses that worked for them. This is a must read for all horror fans.
