EVERYONE READ THIS Universal has casted actor Johnny Depp as the Invisible Man and Javier Bardem as Frankenstein. They also said that Russell Crowe will be playing Dr. Jekyll. And it keeps getting better and better, Dr. Jekyll will be the one who's gonna be locating all this creatures through his organization named Prodigum. I am so hyped!!!!!

6 years later, and I find myself wistfully nostalgic about the hype for the Dark World. I really hoped they’d prove us all wrong. Still have the classics though.

Nice video. My son wants a classic universal monster party for his birthday so we watched this together. But we also loved Dracula Untold.

I still love these old horror movies even today.

Problem is, The Mummy is a major bomb. Not really the best start for the Dark Universe.

History of Blue Beetle please!! I love Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein...one of my favorite comedies and just movies in general!!! Best Comedy Duo!!

History of poison ivy , quake , the blue lantern core and the hellfire club!

I thought Dracula Untold was pretty good. I'd put it on par with like the first Thor or Captain America movie. It did a good enough job at establishing the characters and was decent overall. It feels like it was unfairly trashed even though it serves a good jumping off point for the universe.

Glad to see a classic monster video

Who doesn't love the classics

I grew up on these movies. as you said, "please, do a good job, Universal". it's going to be hard to match the eerie atmosphere of the originals with today's flash-bang effects.

The man who laughs is actually the inspiration for the joker, so thank you universal

so very glad you did this video. the classic universal monsters have been a personal favorite of mine for years. i hope they are making a comeback and mostly they're done right.

My favorite of these movies is The Invisible Man. Great effects for the time.

I never knew I needed this video

Am i the only one who thinks that Stephen Sommer's 2004 version of Van Helsing is a guilty pleasure?

*slides in and latches onto the Phantom of the Opera*

You know, there was an attempt to revive the Universal Monsters through a cartoon and toy line. It was called Monster Force. It was about a scientist named Reed Crawley and his team, which included the Frankenstein monster himself and a descendant of the Wolf Man who used technology to capture monsters. The cartoon only got one season.

You and James Rolfe from Cinemassacre would get along really well lol Cool seeing the Universal Monsters get more attention though thanks to these new movies coming. I thought The Mummy was okay, I did enjoy watching it and I hope Universal does great with their future films.

This has to be my favorite video. I'm a huge fan of the Universal Classic Monsters. Dracula's Daughter, The Mummy Sequels & The Abbott & Costello crossovers are #1 in my eyes.

Arris you forgot The Monster Squad. It had all the Classic Monsters in it even Van Helsing. That movie is a Cult Classic. It even made Frankenstein's Monster into a peeping tom.

This is a very good posting for Universal monster films. Great job.

Those Abbott and Costello monster crossover movies were great.

wow! nice video arris I totally did not know this information. simply awesome and informative.

I was 4 when I fell in love with these monsters! I'm only missing 3 VHS movies from the collection and left for college when the DVD collections were released.

Don't forget Peter Cushing's run as Van Helsing

Good video telling the history of the Universal Monsters. I really enjoyed this.

Universal should've gotten the rights to The Goon and could've effectively had every Universal monster and more in one movie.

This is great! i love Universal Monsters!

you forgot to mention the Monster Squad movie :C it had almost all of the main universal monsters against a group of kids/teenagers to save their town/the world. Really funny movie :D

i love the universal monsters.Thank you for doing this vid

TRIVIA: *ADAM WEST* played Mr. Hyde in an episode of Night Gallery. .. unrelated to the dark universe, he also played another iconic character... _Doc Holliday_ on two different shows.

Rest in peace Adam West, this man deserves tribute.

They killed it

VariantComics do a history of The Magneto and The Brotherhood Of Mutants?

It's cool that Universal is doing a modernized Universal Monster universe, the classic monsters are awesome

Good job ! :) It's a video very complet to talk about Universal Monsters :) Now Hammer Productions !!!

I thought this was actually pretty cool to learn about, could you do more videos about the Universal Monsters?

Universal's Dark Universe will somehow end up crossing over into their Fast & Furious Universe and we'll up with Frankenstein and the Furious.

Producers really didn't care about continuity back then. Trying to fit these movies into a timeline is practically impossible.

2 years before the cross-over of Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, the film Look Who's Laughing was a cross-over of Fibber McGee & Molly with Edgar Bergan & Charlie McCarthy, along with The Great Gildersleeve...

Bt Dracula untold was a good starter (personally I love that movie so much)

I would love to hear another comic character origin but this one gives a new feeling of variety to your channel. This shows how diverse variant's taste is in film.

Another Van Helsing!? I've been waiting for this my whole life!

We need a history of Variant episode

Dracula Untold was great!

Dracula untold was a awesome movie, still disappointed its not included .

you should do more of these universal monster videos

What about alien vs predator and Freddie vs Jason as shared universes

I want to see an origin video for Maestro, Moonknight, Black Knight, and Blue Beetle

I’m a huge fan of these types of horror and I will always love them

And here we are 2022... and the mummy with Tom pretty much killed the monster universe...

as far as I can tell the first cinematic universe was actually the German golem movies which started in 1915. a second golem movie was made in 1920 and takes place in the same universe. on top of that it's also the first example I can find of a prequel as well. it basically told the origin story of the golem setting the stage for the events of the first movie. so yeah the idea of a cinematic Universe is as old as cinema itself. it's literally over a century old.

Clearly the best horror movie was hotel transylvania

Can you do a Shredder episode? Alternate versions or origins? Cuz he has many forms and his origins are complicated

Can You Please do a history of black canary for her 70th anniversary

As a kid gill man was my favorite

please do a Who Is The Most Powerful Transformers? Episode

Didn't expect this video

Just let peeps know, Universal are thinking making The Rock the Wolfman and Johnny Depp the Invisible Man. Little worry-some I would say.

I really don't get the hate for Dracula Untold I thought it was great. sure there were parts that could've been better and it should've been a longer movie, but personally it's become one of my all time favorites :)

Since Mr. Negative is in the new PS4 Spider-Man game, are you going to make a supervillains origins for Mr. Negative?

Doomsday vs Universal monsters with Godzilla & King Kong added to the team

I definitely approve of you trying something different (i.e. not necessarily comicbook related) even though I hope that you will still stay a comicbook channel at core.

RIP Dark Universe. ⚰️
