Creature from the Black Lagoon 1954

Universal Horror or Universal Monsters - phrases used to describe the horror, suspense and science fiction films made by Universal Studios during the 1920s - 1950s.
Horror/Monster franchises include: Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, Frankenstein, Edgar Allan Poe, Mummy, Invisible Man, Werewolf / Wolf Man, Paula, the Ape Woman / Gorilla Girl, Inner Sanctum Mysteries, Creeper, Abbott & Costello, Gill Man / Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Universal has plans for rebooting the franchise. Starting with The Mummy (2019) as an origin story. [Though Dracula Untold (2016) was first and also an origin story, it is downplayed as the restart and said not part of Dark Universe canon). The new reboot Monster franchises include Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, Frankenstein, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Invisible Man, and Phantom of the Opera. As of late 2017, those plans seem to have stalled.

Sure, everyone's seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. But as you'll learn in this shockingly tasteless collection of great awful movies, there's so much more to the world of truly bad film.

Here is an exhaustive list of Universal Monster Movies including the new Universal Monster Universe. I will be adding more of those as they are released. If you feel that there is something missing, feel free to suggest an addition. I realize Dracula '92, Frankenstein '94 and Gods and Monsters '98 are not Universal properties but I feel they are closely related and relevant.

This list is no longer updated as changes made to the way lists are editable on the site makes it impossible to place titles where they belong on the list. The complete/ongoing list lives on over at Letterboxed and lists over 1500 titles.
