WHAT'S MY LINE?
Bet you all never thought of Universal's classic horror movies like this!  All the more to check 'em out and send in your list of articles to Maven at theoldmoviemaven@yahoo.com!
Plus some extra treats at the end of this page . . .
if you can handle it and get that far!!
Dracula (1931):  The original classic with Bela Lugosi. . . .  Have you checked the INTERVIEWS section for Carla Laemmle, possibly the only actor still alive from that version and who spoke the first lines in the first true horror movie that kicked off the genre?

Frankenstein (1931):  Of course! . . . you expected Dagwood from the Blondie cartoon?!

The Werewolf of London (1935) and She-Wolf of London (1946) - These movies could be called off-shoots but Werewolf predates The Wolf Man . . . they CAN lay claim to the Universal Monster Genealogy since they WERE monster movies made at Universal . . . .  This page wouldn't be complete without them!
