The Best Of The Legacy Collection ^ Having owned all six of the Universal Studios Legacy Collection I can easily say that this is the best of them all. The quaity of the scripts and choice of actors in ALL films in this collection is what really sets it apart. Every movie has been wonderfully restored and the bonus features are plenty. If you either want to collect all of the Monster series, or just not sure which to buy, this is where to start! 5 stars all the way!
Universal Classic Horror Part 2 ^ I bought this the same day obviously as the DRACULA and THE WOLF MAN legacy collections.

Another great box set, buy it!
First Two Good ^ Frank, and Bride of Frank are the best of the four. The final two are mediocre.
Buy used at a super low price and you won't be disappointed.
The Voss ^ This is an excellent item for any fan of the classic horror films. It was packaged great and it contains all of the Frankenstein movies. A must for any collector!
Great Classic Movies ^ The Frankenstien collection is the greatest movies of the Horror era. I do agree with one guy who posted that the Movie Frankenstien Meets Wolfman was not apart of this fine collection. Aside from that I recommend this collection to any true fan of Horror. These movies were well done and set the bar for future horror movies to come.
