I had to look this up. A lot of his later life was sad. He spent time addicted to morphine, demerol, and Methadone. Not to mention alcohol. He did get cleaned up near the end though. link

As I have seen other non Classic Horror mentions of Vincent Price, I would add one of my favorites. Alice Cooper: The Nightmare with Vincent Price as the narrator. Not a movie/film, I know, but it's cool nonetheless.

This one from Kino is great. It’s a restored version, and the set includes the 1929 theatrical re-release (which is what 99% always see) as well as the 1925 theatrical version which is a bit longer and has different takes/angles than normally seen

The Phantom of the Opera (2-Disc) [Blu-ray] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013CG18X6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ND2MGF4PKD4YHMRGMRBE

Yes, they are indeed making a remake and the general consensus of the horror communities is that they're not too pleased with that. Personally, I'm not really happy about it either. Actually, the entire reason that I made this thread besides the fact that the film itself is a wonderful ride throughout, is because I wanted to give it some exposure to spite the remake.

Here is an eBay link for the VHS 2 tape version of the film.

Here is an Amazon link for the DVD version.

Is there anywhere to even watch this legally online that you know of? I can't seem to find any.

Edit: Never mind! I found it to rent on Amazon Prime Instant for $0.99. Here's the link.

here's the camelcamelcamel if anyone is contemplating this. Show it is in fact a reduced price. I own a similar dvd collection with all the same movies minus North by Northwest :(. Not sure if mine has the same behind the scenes interviews and clips but if it does then I would say this is awesome. I love the extras on the set I have.

Here is an excerpt from the book <em>Universal Studios Monsters: A Legacy of Horror</em> (2009, Michael Mallory):

"Dracula's Daughter was the result of Carl Laemmle Jr.'s having purchased the rights to "Dracula's Guest," a short story by Bram Stoker that was really an excised chapter from the original novel. Junior first persuaded James Whale, who had recently completed Bride of Frankenstein, to take it on. But the initial script, which was written by Whale's frequent collaborator R. C. Sherriff, was rejected outright because of its horrific and sexual implications. Having nothing in common with "Dracula's Guest," that script depicted Dracula alive in the Middle Ages, plundering the land and abducting its women, one of whom would become his adoptive daughter. A demonic figure would turn him into a vampire as revenge, after which the film would shift to the story of the daughter, in modern times.

Bela Lugosi was contracted to reprise his signature role, but problems with the script continued. Ultimately, Whale was taken off the project, and the studio went back to square one. Garrett Fort was brought back to concoct a new storyline, one that did not involve Dracula at all, save for a quick glimpse of his dead body, which was played by a well-dressed manikin (though Lugosi was paid off to the tune of $4,000...$500 more than he'd earned for starring in Dracula!).

I think would would have been very interesting to see this kind of a story, an origins of Dracula if you may, and the return of Bela Lugosi reprising his signature role.

>Anyone who's never never seen this movie and judge it only by the fact they know what the creature looks like; your shorting yourself by not watching it.

I agree. If anyone here hasn't had the pleasure, it is actually available to stream free and legally (there are like 4 or 5 small ad breaks) through SnagFilms You don't even have to sign up for an account. To play it through your tv you can download the app via roku, playstation, xbox, etc... Or just fire it up on your browser via

Sadly it's the only universal monster movie SnagFilms has. Most of the movies on there seem to be crap, though it's worth sifting through the catalog for a handful of good flicks.

Glad to help when I can. There are... alternative sources that you can find online when you can't afford a stack of Blu-rays or DVDs. Some of them are even legal, like tubitv.com.

https://tubitv.com/search/horror (search by specific titles there)

IMDB has a selection similar to tubi, they are both subsidized by commercial interruptions.

https://www.imdb.com/tv/ (also search by specific titles)

I don't want to tempt you to the dark side, but for less legit sites you can often Google a movie's title followed by watch online free or words to that effect. Individual movies and entire sites are often taken down, but the sites always pop back up again somewhere else with a slightly different name and URL.

Google doesn't seem to block them, you won't get in trouble for using them (just don't upload anything yourself), and I've never heard of anyone getting a virus or anything like that from the sites. Just follow safe web browsing practices.

Stick with tubi and imdb if you want to play it safe though. They may even be available via roku, I don't know.

Good luck!

I had to buy a big hammer collection just to get revenge of Frankenstein because it was the only way I found it available on Blu ray. It has some really good ones in it, I recommend it.

I just bought a set on amazon for like $30 that included 7 of the biggest universal horror movies such as Frankenstein and Dracula. The discs are British which I think makes them not have any particular region lock on them but I am not sure. If you can get it shipped to Japan I would highly recommend its a great deal and has a really nice artwork booklet included. https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Monsters-Essential-Collection-Blu-ray/dp/B008H45YSO/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2B151MB12CUT8&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=universal+horror+blu+ray&amp;qid=1615658928&amp;sprefix=universal+horror+box%2Caps%2C120&amp;sr=8-9

Am I missing something here? There is a set on sale at Amazon:
