Dracula, Frankenstein & Werewolf Movies 1931-1945 | Universal Monsters Series

Total honesty here, this is a safe space: I had never watched the original horror movies that helped build the genre like Count Dracula or Frankenstein's Monster. Frankly, I hadn't watched many original, old horror movies at all, opting for those 90's and beyond over anything else. From the time that I started Red Rose Horror I knew I wanted to remedy that flaw, and boom--this series...which I had originally planned as an article back in 2021 when I first started the website as a blog. The full article post is up now at https://www.redrosehorror.com/post/universal-monsters-dracula-frankenstein-wolf-man-part-one This is part 1 of 3 and I WILL get this series done this year, come hell or high water. This, like most other videos, are divided up by era and historical circumstances at the time that influenced the productions of the film. The Hayes Code Era heavily influenced Hollywood for a long period of time and the wild Golden Era that preceded it featured more stories, sometimes harkening back to literary classics like Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Invisible Man. The Universal Monsters that are widely recognized and known worldwide today started as adaptations of gothic literature during the Golden Era as part of the wider goal to make studios, especially smaller ones like Universal Pictures, relevant and generating profits during this boom of unchecked control of the movie industry. This video will go over this time period and the transition to the Hayes Code era while giving background and plot synopsis for each Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolf Man movie included in the series. Originally the historical aspects interested me more than the specific movies and I've found that it's hard to stay passionate about this project on top of busy times at work and an attempt to touch grass every now and again. If you're really interested in this series however please leave a comment or like this video to let me know; if there is interest in this I will definitely get it done sooner over other things. The full article version of the video including links is up on my website at https://www.redrosehorror.com/post/universal-monsters-dracula-frankenstein-wolf-man-part-one Every month of 2024 I'm posting a video; in part to grow my skills and as a creative outlet. Up to date timeline on what videos I'm working on and when they'll be posted can be found on the homepage of my website https://www.redrosehorror.com towards the bottom. Sources for this and all videos can be found at https://www.redrosehorror.com/file-share/ On the site there are also watch lists based on taste, subgenre, and platforms, article based Spotify playlists, and more. Thank you for watching this video!!
