I want Bluray Upgrades for......The Black Castle (1952) and The Inner Sanctum mysteries. Six movies with Lon Chaney Jr. (1943-45) Please Shout Factory.

[GrimJester]

Also I usually see some of the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies on Universal Horror lists, like The Scarlet Claw and The Hound of the Baskervilles. All of those are on blu-ray, you can probably just link the set that's available and check all those off.

The House of Seven Gables too.

[GrimJester]

Don't forget The Last Warning as well, the new blu-ray will be a revelation. It will be very nice to finally see it properly, it has only been available in awful vhs quality for the longest time.

[moviebuff75]

I wish they would fix the problems with some of the movies.

[Slob]

Other possibilities

Dark Streets of Cairo (1940) Filmed about same time as Mummy's Hand. I believe it used same sets. Has a creepy Egyptian cult and George Zucco.

Love Slaves of The Amazons (1957). Released on double bill with Monolith Monsters. More adventure than horror but has "fantastic" elements.

I've Lived Before (1956). Airline pilot is a reincarnation of WWI pilot.

None of those are on Blu-ray to my knowledge. I would buy Dark Streets of Cario if it ever happened.

Murders In The Zoo, The Mad Ghoul, The Mad Doctor Of Market Street, and The Strange Case Of Doctor Rx added to the list!

OP updated.

[Spootnek]

I just wanted to see how these look together.

Dracula / Drácula (1931)
Frankenstein (1931)
The Mummy (1932)
The Invisible Man (1933)
The Bride Of Frankenstein (1935)
The Wolf Man (1941)
Phantom Of The Opera (1943) No steelbook?
Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)

2013 Releases



2014 Releases



2016 (Glow In The Dark)



2017 (Steelbook)



Questions:
I assume each one is the same as the 2013 releases just different covers, right?
Why did they skip 2015?
Is there a Phantom steelbook? I couldn't find it on here.

Another way to compare them:

[Show spoiler]Dracula / Drácula (1931)

Frankenstein (1931)

The Mummy (1932)

The Invisible Man (1933)

The Bride Of Frankenstein (1935)

The Wolf Man (1941)

Phantom Of The Opera (1943)

Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)


The Legacy Collection (2004)



Complete Legacy Collection (2014)

Pretty sure each one is the same, just different covers.

There is not an Alex Ross Phantom steelbook.

[crissrudd4554]

Yes they each have the same discs.

[Member-320773]

THE LEECH WOMAN is coming from Shout! Factory 8/27/19.

[glennstl]

Those Alex Ross steelbook covers are truly a thing of beauty. Ross is definitely the man.

[crissrudd4554]

It’d be a complete set if they reissued them with these covers!

[kishiro]

What an excellent wonderfull thread!
This saved me a lot of time researching.

It seems pretty extensive. As far as I can tell there's only three titles missing;

- Night Key (1937) (starring Boris Karloff) (DVD released in 2006)
- The Phantom Creeps (1939) (starring Bela Lugosi) (Will be released on Blu-Ray by VCI on november 12th 2019)
- The Last Warning (1928) (starring Laura La Plante) (Released on Blu-Ray last month by Flicker Alley)

All of these are listed on the 'Universal Classics Monster/Horror' wikipedia page. However some will consider 'The Last Warning' a 'mystery' and therefore not a 'proper' Universal Horror, but I feel that's splitting hairs. It's listed as horror on imdb and I think it should be on the list.

Update: My bad, I see that 'The Last Warning' is allready on the list. I don't know how I missed that... :P Must've been a case of fat fingers ctrl-f 'ing. So that means only two titles missing.

[MifuneFan]

A few more titles can now be added/updated thanks to Shout's upcoming releases of the Universal Horror Collect Vol. 3, and the Abbott and Costello boxset

Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff
Abbott and Costello Go to Mars
Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The Black Cat (1941)
Tower of London (1939)
Man Made Monster (1941)
Horror Island (1941)
Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932)

[GrimJester]

So this is what remains unannounced for Lugosi & Karloff @ Universal:

Lugosi - The Night Monster

Karloff - Night Key, The Climax, The Black Castle

Lugosi will be done soon with Universal Horror Volume 4 being confirmed. Bittersweet almost. The top of my wishlist is now mostly Warner.

Big question though, where are our hopes of One Body Too Many getting a blu-ray release pinned at? It's tricky to pin down these PD films. Paramount distributed it, technically it would be with Universal now had it not fallen in the public domain. I know Paramount provided Olive with Voodoo Man and Return of the Ape Man, and I see the Paramount logo on the back of Kino's Invisible Ghost so I'm guessing they provided that too. Would they still have the elements now or would Universal?

[Kylo Ren]

Since some of y'all were hating on me for not keeping the list updated (you know who you are), I've updated the master list to the best of my capabilities. If you notice any errors or any other movies missing from the list, please let me know.
