We all remember the crazy-huge list of kaiju-tokusatsu films my son and I watched and reviewed before the new Godzilla movie opened, right?

Well, we’re going to be doing something similar, but there’s not a hard and fast end date to it.

We’re going to be watching Universal Monster movies. I know there are literally hundreds of films that feature Dracula, wolf people, etc., but we’re going to be sticking to Universal films primarily and that core group of monsters.

There will be a few rogue films on the list but I can’t not include Monster Squad. I could include the Brendan Fraser Mummy movies … but I’m not sure. I’d rather stick to the classics and a couple of homage films from afterward.

(And imagine my pleasant dismay when I found that even the definition of “Universal Monster” was fluid. Sorry, but I’m not going to be including the Poe-related films or random “crazed murderer” movies … that steps beyond what most consider to be “Universal Monsters.”)

Edited to add … Hammer films. My son really enjoyed Curse of Frankenstein so I’m gonna put their takes on Universal classics here.

There you go.
