Summary

We're talking about more classic Universal monsters! Let’s get acquainted with Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, The Wolfman, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Phantom of the Opera, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, the whole gang… Specifically, the varied ways they've connected to each other in film.

Plus: the scrapped plans for the Dark Universe, and where these characters may be going next!
