SCREAM FACTORY'S SERIES OF UNIVERSAL HORROR SETS FEATURES FOUR MORE CLASSIC FILMS FEATURING BELA LUGOSI, BORIS KARLOFF, AND RONDO HATTON!

Money has been tight lately, so I've abstained from adding any of Scream Factory's UNIVERSAL HORROR COLLECTIONS to my own personal collection. A pity, because they've been putting out some great stuff in these sets and this latest one is no exception! The four films in this UNIVERSAL HORROR COLLECTION features some of Horror's most iconic actors, including Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, and Rondo Hatton (the namesake for a certain Classic Horror Award that I've been eying up for years)! If you enjoy chillers from a bygone era, then considering picking up this collection today!

Synopses: Volume 4 of the UNIVERSAL HORROR COLLECTION includes four tales of terror from the archives of Universal Pictures, the true home of classic horror. This collection includes such horror stars as Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lionel Atwill, and Rondo Hatton. Boris Karloff ignites the screen as an inventor who is kidnapped by a gang of burglars and forced to help them commit robberies in NIGHT KEY. Bela Lugosi stars in a creepy tale of strange characters, secret passages and a murderer who masters the art of "mind over matter" in NIGHT MONSTER. In THE CLIMAX, Karloff is terrifying as a mad doctor whose insane jealousy over a beautiful opera singer may drive him to murder. A giant of a man is used as an instrument of evil by a mad sculptor in HOUSE OF HORRORS.
