It might also be worth pointing out that both "Dracula" & "Frankenstein" are being re-released as part of Universals 'Legacy Series' on September 26th. Each of the films will be presented in digitally remastered 1.33:1 full frame - along with English 2.0 Mono tracks. Dracula will include both the 1 hour 14 minute, and 1 hour 44 minute Spanish versions of the film - along with an intro to the Spanish version by Lupita Tovar Kohner, a commentary with the film historian David J Shal, a second commentary with the screenwriter of Dracula: Deal and Loving It, and a feature on the score by Phil Glass. Completing the set will be a Lugosi: The Dark Prince documentary, 'The Road to Dracula', 'Monster Tracks', a postage montage, and trailers. Frankenstein will include a commentary with historian Christopher Frayling, a second commentary with Rudy Behlmer, a Karloff: The Gentle Monster documentary, 'Monster Tracks', a short film entitled 'Boo!', a Frankenstein Files: How Hollywood Made a Monster documentary, a 'Frankenstein Archives' feature, and the theatrical trailer. For me, the legacy series i already own are sufficient. I highly doubt i'll be purchasing either of these titles. But for anyone new to 'classic' horror, this might be a good place to start.

If you love what you have so far Wolf you will LOVE Invisible Man! The first one is great and there's one or two other good one's in there. I believe Revenege and Return of, are two good movies. But even if they're not the original alone is worth it!

Yes its true i found only one dislike with the Dracula,wolfman and frankenstein boxsets..and that is the second Double sided disc.. Why would they put 4 movies on one disc,,2 on each side is beyond me...i hate double sided discs because they are more easy to get scratched or smudged with finger prints..what they could of done is make the set a 3 disc set.3 normal one sided discs.one with the main feature and the other 2 discs with 2 movies each..like the Friday the 13th boxset.. The only Legacy boxset I've seen so far with one sided discs is the creature boxset..Because creature is only 3 movies..1 disc with the main feature and the other with the other 2. but anyways its cool,because on the 26th universal is releasing the 75th anniversary edition of Dracula and Frankenstein..I'm getting both for the high definition screen transfer.. Anybody else getting them?

I'm not sure... I just spent $25,000 yesterday so I'm not sure... I'll post pics of why I spent that much money later... I do wanna see Dracula in a better transfer though... I wish the Original Legacy collection was remasterd already...

Wait till you see how happy The Invisible Man Legacy makes you. Part 1 is one of the greatest films ever made, but you may enjoy the sequals as well.
