Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright

Have the Alex Ross SB, so easy pass.

Eschenpod · 08-02-2021, 05:56 PM

In for all four.

pab1219 · 08-02-2021, 06:03 PM

Wait there will be a Bride of Frankenstein SB?

Gorgon · 08-02-2021, 06:29 PM

The artwork on these, inside and out, is gorgeous!
Sigh, I'm not 4K yet and have the Ross Steels.

If (when?) they drop in price, I may purchase for the art.

Yeah this looks great. Still have my doubts how much of a difference we’ll see in 4K but I’m likely in for all of these.

hagios · 08-02-2021, 06:45 PM

I want/need all my Universal Classic Monsters on steel, yeah!

a new 4k transfer of a 1940's film from good elements vs. an older transfer with digital anomalies? It should be a good improvement, probably more so than the other older titles.
This one and Frankenstein are the two Im most looking forward to but I'm all in on all 4

What is the 4th one??? There will be 8 in the box set. So I’m wondering if the other 5 will get a SteelBook version.

This year marks the anniversaries of all 3 - 90 years for Dracula & Frankenstein. 80 years for The Wolf Man. Hopefully they will release all in 4K this year!! Fingers crossed!!!

Zillamon51 · 08-03-2021, 12:07 AM

Nope. I'm glad these are coming in 4K, and the Steels look good. But I have the 30-film complete collection. When that gets replicated in 4K, I am in. I am done buying single titles, smaller collections, or any other incremental improvement until the whole shebang is done, multiple copies of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein included.

Why do you have a need to post this exact statement in every single thread related to the Universal Monster steel books? Just curious...

OP updated with release date and Best Buy link.

gkolb · 08-11-2021, 03:36 AM

Preordered. Easy decision.

I don’t have the OG art Bluray steelbook.

Dxtra30 · 08-11-2021, 06:46 PM

Isn't the Invisible Man also coming to Steelbook as well? Don't see it on BestBuy site yet. Just the 3 so far.

Eschenpod · 08-12-2021, 01:38 AM

Pre-ordered.

Optimus-Prime-Rox · 08-13-2021, 03:12 AM

I wish the 2010 Wolfman remake was coming out in a 4K Steelbook, maybe by next Halloween hopefully.

Nice upgrade, since the BR was waxy, terrible wax look:

Even looking both in full screen in a 1080p monitor, the 4K edition loks way better, more realistic and organic compared to the waxy BR.

Look the old gypsy lady.
