Digitalt restaurerade, med perfekt high-definition bild och ljud, samlas här Universals legendariska monster, de fantasifulla och tekniskt banbrytande skräckhistorierna som banade vägen för en ny Hollywoodgenre. Denna kompletta samling innehåller åtta filmer på Blu-ray TM, en illustrerad booklet med fotografier från inspelningarna, filmaffischer, brev och mycket mer. Varje film inkluderar en samling bonusmaterial runt filmskapandet och dess historia, som dokumentärer, kommentarer, intervjuer, storyboards, fotografier och trailers. Något som bör intressera de mest hängivna fansen är den helt nya minidokumentären om restaureringsarbetet bakom Dracula och 3D Blu-ray TM versionen av Creature from the Black Lagoon. Från stumfilmseran ända fram till idag har Universal Pictures gett liv åt flertalet monster. Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection hedrar studions långa banbrytande historia inom genren med ikoniska klassiker som Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Phantom of the Opera and Creature from the Black Lagoon. Här samlas legendariska skådespelare verksamma inom skräck- genren som Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, Jr., Claude Rains och Elsa Lanchester. Dessa åtta filmer fortsätter att influera dagens filmskapare med sina då banbrytande specialeffekter och innovativa make-up. Bonus Material & Synopsis (engelska versioner) Dracula (1931) The original 1931 movie version of Bram Stoker’s classic tale has for generations defined the iconic look and terrifying persona of the famed vampire. Dracula owes its continued appeal in large part due to Bela Lugosi’s indelible portrayal of the immortal Count Dracula and the flawless direction of horror auteur Tod Browning. The Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection includes the original version of this chilling and evocative tale, as well as the rarely seen Spanish version of Dracula. Filmed simultaneously with the English language version, the Spanish version of Dracula is an equally ominous vision of the horror classic shot with the same sets and script. Cinematographer George Robinson and a vibrant cast including Carlos Villarias and Lupita Tovar deliver a chilling and evocative tale filled with the same terror, mystery, and intrigue. Bonus Features: Dracula, the 1931 Spanish version, with Introduction by Lupita Tovar Kohner The Road to Dracula Lugosi: The Dark Prince Dracula: The Restoration – New Featurette Available for The First Time!

Skal Feature Commentary by Steve Haberman, Screenwriter of Dracula: Dead and Loving It Trailer Gallery Frankenstein (1931) Boris Karloff stars as the screen’s most tragic and iconic monster in what many consider to be the greatest horror film ever made. Dr. Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) dares to tamper with the essential nature of life and death by creating a monster (Karloff) out of lifeless human body parts. Director James Whale’s adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel and Karloff’s compassionate portrayal of a creature groping for identity make Frankenstein a timeless masterpiece. Bonus Features: The Frankenstein Files: How Hollywood Made a Monster Karloff: The Gentle Monster Monster Tracks: Interactive Pop-Up Facts About The Making of Frankenstein Universal Horror Frankenstein Archives Boo!: A Short Film Feature Commentary with Film Historian Rudy Behlmer Feature Commentary with Historian Sir Christopher Frayling 100 Years Of Universal: Restoring the Classics Trailer Gallery The Mummy (1932) Horror icon Boris Karloff stars in the original 1932 version of The Mummy in which a team of British archaeologists accidentally revives a mummified high priest after 3,700 years. Alive again, he sets out on an obsessive—and deadly—quest to find his lost love. Over 50 years after its first release, this brooding dream- like horror classic remains a cinematic masterpiece.

Covered by bandages and dark glasses, Rains arrives in a small English village and attempts to hide his amazing discovery, but the drug’s side effects slowly drive him to commit acts of unspeakable terror. Based on H.G. Welles’ classic novel and directed by the master of macabre, James Whale, The Invisible Man fueled a host of sequels and features revolutionary special effects that are still imitated today. Bonus Features: Now You See Him: The Invisible Man Revealed Production Photographs Feature Commentary with Film Historian Rudy Behlmer 100 Years of Universal: Unforgettable Characters Bride of Frankenstein (1935) The acclaimed sequel to the original Frankenstein has become one of the most popular horror classics in film history. The legendary Boris Karloff reprises his role as the screen’s most misunderstood monster, now longing for a mate of his own. Colin Clive is back as the proud and overly ambitious Dr. Frankenstein, who creates the ill-fated bride (Elsa Lanchester). The last horror film directed by James Whale features a haunting musical score that helps make The Bride of Frankenstein one of the finest and most touching thrillers of its era. Bonus Features: She’s Alive! Creating The Bride Of Frankenstein The Bride Of Frankenstein Archive Feature Commentary with Scott MacQueen 100 Years of Universal: Restoring the Classics Trailer Gallery The Wolf Man (1941) Originally released in 1941, The Wolf Man introduced the world to a new Universal movie monster and redefined the mythology of the werewolf forever. Featuring a heartbreaking performance by Lon Chaney Jr. and groundbreaking make-up by Jack Pierce, The Wolf Man is the saga of Larry Talbot, a cursed man who transforms into a deadly werewolf when the moon is full. The dreamlike atmospheres, elaborate settings and chilling musical score combine to make The Wolf Man a masterpiece of the genre.

A crazed composer who schemes to make beautiful young soprano Christine DuBois (Susanna Foster) the star of the opera company, the Phantom also wreaks revenge on those he believes stole his music. Nelson Eddy, as the heroic baritone, tries to win the affections of Christine as he tracks down the murderous, horribly disfigured Phantom. Bonus Features: The Opera Ghost: A Phantom Unmasked Production Photographs Feature Commentary with Film Historian Scott MacQueen 100 Years of Universal: The Lot Theatrical Trailer Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) Captured and imprisoned for scientific study, a living ―amphibious missing link‖ becomes enamored with the head researcher’s female assistant (Julie Adams). When the hideous creature escapes and kidnaps the object of his affection, a crusade is launched to rescue the helpless woman and cast the terrifying creature back to the depths from which he came. Featuring legendary makeup artist Bud Westmore’s brilliantly designed monster, Creature from the Black Lagoon is an enduring tribute to the imaginative genius of its Hollywood creators.

Urizar Department of Biological Sciences College of Science and Mathematics Faculty Mentor: Todd Hoffman, Ph.D., Department of English and Foreign Languages The story of Frankenstein is typically seen as a battle between Victor Frankenstein and the “monster” of the story. However I argue that that the real “monster” of the story is in fact Victor Frankenstein who is suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and that the “monster” is really just a delusions that Victor uses to cope with the idea that he in fact is the killer of the story. This concept is evident in the fact that no one in the story has ever seen both Victor Frankenstein and the “monster” alive in the same place. The characteristics of the “monster’ also point towards the idea that the “monster” could not possibly exist. Even the way that Victor acts throughout the book point to the idea that he does not really care for the safety of his loved ones.

On a distant, rainy hill, the old Frankenstein castle, as we knew and loved it, is illuminated by ANOTHER BOLT OF LIGHTNING. MUSIC: AN EERIE TRANSYLVANIAN LULLABY begins to PLAY in the b.g. as we MOVE SLOWLY CLOSER to the castle. It is completely dark, except for one room -- a study in the corner of the castle -- which is only lit by candles. Now we are just outside a rain-splattered window of the study. We LOOK IN and SEE: INT. STUDY - NIGHT An open coffin rests on a table we can not see it's contents. As the CAMERA SLOWLY CIRCLES the coffin for a BETTER VIEW... A CLOCK BEGINS TO CHIME: "ONE," "TWO," "THREE," "FOUR..." We are ALMOST FACING the front of the coffin. "FIVE," "SIX," "SEVEN," "EIGHT..." The CAMERA STOPS. Now it MOVES UP AND ABOVE the satin-lined coffin. "NINE," "TEN," "ELEVEN," "T W E L V E!" CUT TO: THE EMBALMED HEAD OF BEAUFORT FRANKENSTEIN Half of still clings to the waxen balm; the other half has decayed to skull. Below his head is a skeleton, whose bony fingers cling to a metal box. A HAND reaches in to grasp the metal box. It lifts the box halfway out of the coffin -- the skeleton's fingers rising, involuntarily, with the box. Then, as of by force of will, the skeleton's fingers grab the box back and place it where it was. Now the "Hand" -- using its other hand -- grabs the box back from the skeleton's fingers.

  • Discussion Questions for Frankenstein Written by Hailey Toporcer, Hiram College Class of 2019 Edited by Prof
    Discussion Questions for Frankenstein Written by Hailey Toporcer, Hiram College Class of 2019 Edited by Prof. Kirsten Parkinson As you read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, either on your own or with a group, we invite you to use these questions to add layers to your discussion or thinking about the novel. The first section includes questions for each chapter of the novel; you will find questions reflecting on the book as a whole at the end. We have not included specific pages numbers as various editions have different page numbers, but the quotations are based on the 1831 edition of the novel. Discussion Questions for Each Chapter Letters I through IV 1. Frankenstein begins and ends with letters written by Robert Walton. Why do you think that Mary Shelley chose to have him frame the novel? How would your opinions of Victor Frankenstein and his creation differ if their story was told directly by Victor Frankenstein himself? What if the story was told solely by the creation? 2. Walton yearns for a friend, much like Victor Frankenstein’s creature does. What does this tell you about human nature? Is it in our nature to want companionship, someone to confide in, and someone to care for? 3. In Letter IV, Walton writes, “Yesterday the stranger said to me, “You may easily perceive, Captain Walton, that I have suffered great and unparalleled misfortunes. I had determined at one time that the memory of these evils should die with me, but you have won me to alter my determination. You seek for knowledge and wisdom, as I once did; and I ardently hope that the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you, as mine has been.

SEATONVILLE HARBOR - NIGHT The brackish waters of a modest commercial marina, with rows of contract fishing and cargo trawlers hugging the concrete strip of the waterfront and warehouse blocks. Fog hangs low over the water. All's quiet on the night watch, save for the dinging of buoys and slow churn of the tides. INT. HARBORMASTER'S OFFICE The cluttered office of the Harbormaster, manned by a single operator: a night watchman in his late fifties. Hokey nautical memorabilia hugs the walls, a coffee pot brews, and the watchman reads from a dog-eared paperback while seated before several security monitors. NIGHT WATCHMAN (singsong) My father's a poor missionary… he saves pretty women from sin… The silhouette of a man moves across the monitors, unnoticed by the sentry; pacing from one screen to the next, along the perimeter fence. NIGHT WATCHMAN (still singing) … he'll save you a blonde for five dollars… Lord, how the money rolls in. The sentry flips a page, not noticing as the intruder nonchalantly LEAPS over the twelve-foot high fence without missing a step, vanishing from the security cameras' view. CUT TO: 2. EXT. SEATONVILLE HARBOR Leather dress shoes touch down on the corrugated steel roof of a warehouse, as the intruder is revealed: CHARLES RUEGER, somewhere in his forties, bespectacled, his expression haunted. Dressed in a threadbare overcoat and the dirty, ripped trappings of what was once a three-piece suit underneath.

    Universität Bielefeld Fakultät für Linguistik und Literaturwissenschaft Masterarbeit im Interamerican Studies zum Thema: The representation of the prostitute in Mexican cinema: a comparison between Santa (1931) and El Callejón de ​ ​ ​ Los Milagros (1995) ​ vorgelegt von Nora Sylvia Wallenius Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Wilfried Raussert ​ Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Yolanda Campos García Bielefeld, im Mai 2018 Abstract The representation of the prostitute has been one of the most prevalent female characters in the history of Mexican cinema and provides a unique vision to analyze gender roles and the position of the female in Mexico. This thesis will specifically deconstruct the myth of the prostitute through a comparison of two distinct filmic representations: the archetype of the prostitute in Santa (1931) and a more modern ​ representation in El Callejón de Los Milagros (1995), exposing to what degree the ​ ​ representation of the prostitute has changed over the course of a century. A direct analysis of key scenes in the categories of romance, family, and redemption will demonstrate similarities and transgressions. This comparison is developed under the theoretical framework of the position of “the woman” in Mexican cinema, alongside interviews with significant figures in the Mexican film industry. This investigation will shed light on the symbolism of the prostitute in a patriarchal and religious society, including gender relations, power structures, the concept of sin, Mexico’s confrontation with modernity, and female stereotypes in popular media. Keywords: Mexican film, gender studies, stereotype, archetype, the prostitute Abstracto La representación de la prostituta ha sido uno de los personajes femeninos más frecuentes en la historia del cine mexicano y proporciona una visión única para analizar los roles de género y la posición de “la mujer” en México.

  • For Immediate Release Enzian Theater Announces Universal Classic Monsters Week and Ella Fitzgerald Documentary June 26 – July
    Media Contact: Valerie Cisneros [email protected] 407-629-1088 x302 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ENZIAN THEATER ANNOUNCES UNIVERSAL CLASSIC MONSTERS WEEK AND ELLA FITZGERALD DOCUMENTARY JUNE 26 – JULY 2 Orlando, FL – (June 23, 2020) – Perhaps the most influential cycle of films in cinema history, the Universal Classic Monsters of the ‘30s, ‘40s, and early ‘50s have proven to be immortal—dreamlike, macabre, horrific, atmospheric, haunting, and among the most wonderfully crafted films of all time. Spawning hundreds of knock-offs, sequels, models, comic books, magazines, books, toys, t-shirts, lunch boxes and more, these iconic film masterpieces have had a profound effect on the art and culture of multiple generations of movie fans. Based on the works of famed authors such as Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, H.G. Wells and Gaston Leroux—and featuring the filmmaking talents of celebrated directors such as Tod Browning, James Whale, and Jack Arnold, along with legendary actors like Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Claude Rains, Elsa Lanchester, and Lon Chaney, Jr.—these 8 classics are where it all started for genre lovers (and you know who you are!) For the first time in Enzian’s history, all of them can be seen in the same week. Amazing! In addition to Universal Classic Monsters Week, we are thrilled to bring in Ella Fitzgerald: Just One of Those Things, a documentary that traces the story of Ella Fitzgerald’s life and explores how her music became a soundtrack for a tumultuous century. Enzian is also excited to be able to reschedule special programming that was postponed due to the pandemic.
