	Universal horror - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Universal Horror is the name given to the distinctive horror films made by Universal Studios in California from the 1920s through to the 1950s.
		Universal's earliest success in the horror genre was Lon Chaney's The Phantom of the Opera in 1925, for which the actor famously designed and endured a torturous make-up.
		Universal was the distributor for several films from the British Hammer Studios in the early 1960s, enabling Hammer to replicate many features of the original Universal horrors for the first time.

	Horror film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The horror film is often associated with low budgets and exploitation, but major studios and well-respected directors have made intermittent forays into the genre.
		The Canadian film Cube (1997) was perhaps one of the few horror films of the 1990s to be based around a relatively novel concept; it was able to evoke a wide range of different fears, and touched upon a variety of social themes (such as fear of bureaucracy) that had previously been unexplored.
		Other advances in horror were in Japanese animation (for example the gruesome 'guro' animation), as Japanese culture reached new heights of popularity in the West (although the first horror-themed anime had begun appearing in the West by the late 1980s).

		Universal Studios made a name for themselves in silent horror, including several groundbreaking films with Lon Chaney, the legendary Man of a Thousand Faces.
		Universal had made a number of horror films during the silent era, but Todd Browing's Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi, begins the "Universal Monster" series that still rakes in money for the studio, in the form of video, toy, and collectable sales.
		Universal let the series die with quickly-made, all-star monster rallies that featured Glenn Strange as the Monster (imitating Lugosi's stretch-armed strutting), Chaney as the Wolf Man (once again, returned from the dead, and killed again in each film), and John Carradine as Dracula.

	Horror Films
		Horror films are often combined with science fiction when the menace or monster is related to a corruption of technology, or when Earth is threatened by aliens.
		Horror films, when done well and with less reliance on horrifying special effects, can be extremely potent film forms, tapping into our dream states and the horror of the irrational and unknown, and the horror within man himself.
		Universal Studios was best-known for its pure horror films in the 30s and 40s, horror-dom's characters (Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, the Invisible Man, and the Wolf Man) and its classic horror stars, Hungarian matinee idol Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff.

	Universal Horror by Vincent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Most people think that the Universal Horror began in the early 1930’s with the productions of Dracula and Frankenstein, but the studio produced some excellent horror films in the twenties.
		Though it would become clear during this period that the horror movie cycle was beginning to run out of steam it still introduced the last great monster to the audience and it would bring the last in the classic series of Frankenstein.
		Many more horror films starring the famous monsters would appear during the remainder of the 1940’s, but all of them are forgettable, with the possible exception of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) and that is a comedy.

		The series of horror pictures Universal Studios turned out in the '30s is so distinctive that it defines its own subgenre.
		In casting his pictures, he tended to enlist the aid of several of his compatriots -- Ernest Thesiger, Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester, and of course Karloff.) The Broadway revival of the Hamilton-Deane play in the late '70s, with Frank Langella in the title role, was in every way superior.
		Everyone remembers the scene in the earlier film where he drops the little girl who befriends him into the lake because he associates her with the daisies she's taught him to toss onto the water, and then rushes away in horror when he realizes he's destroyed her.

		Chaney Jr's Wolf Man was the last of the classic Famous Monsters to emerge and this is largely seen as the end of the Golden Age of Horror by many fans.
		One would have liked to have seen Brownlow extend the documentary throughout the war years as this period, even though it represents the studio's decline as a producer of horror, is an equally important part of the story.

	Universal's Horror Channel - The CHUD.COM Message Boards
		He figured a horror channel would compete with the SciFi Channel and 13th Street was dropped.
		Trust me, back then, whenever we had a meeting in The Black Tower over on the Universal lot, the guys there were constantly checking into the competition as people have tried to get "all horror" channels going for awhile now.
		I hope that an MTV-like group of renegades like The Horror Channel is the first-mover so that a solid horror channel can rise and not, well, a studio's dumping ground kind of channel, but sometimes big bucks like that can make a loud fucking noise.

		These movies have an amazing style to them that will more than likely not be present in the remakes.
		And yes while some of the supporting acting can be considered stilted today, that is part of their charm and their atmosphere as the leads are quite powerful and I doubt anyone would call James Whale's vision of Frankenstein (especially in Bride of Frankenstein) the Brady Bunch story.
