Plot summary
A documentary about the golden age of horror at Universal Studios and the monster cycle it produced. Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy and the Wolf Man came out of that period, and experts who know the pictures talk through the directors, the performers and the shocks that went into them. Archival footage returns to the scenes themselves, and The Black Cat, King Kong and Bride of Frankenstein are part of the survey. The influence those films had on later horror is part of the discussion.
