DVD Talk Legend
just a question. I was in Paris a couple weeks ago and I saw the Universal monster DVDs of The Mummy, Creature from The Black Lagoon, Invisible Man, and I THINK Phantom of the Opera (can't remember). They looked like the legacy DVDs of the wolfman and so on. Are these the ones being released in October (these ones I think only had 1 movie a piece)

I believe those are releases of just each movie, not a set of each. So no, it's not the same thing...they just made the coverart to look like the Monster Legacy Collection. (I believe a link earlier in this thread goes to another forum where this very topic was discussed, but in Australia, not France.)
Or then again, I could be wrong.

Holy crap! I should pay attention more often. I didn't realize that these had all of the movies in the series on them! I just thought it was the first movie! Damnit, now I have to go get them . . .

I wish that Universal would release "The Lugosi Legacy," consisting of "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "Island of Lost Souls," "The Black Cat," "The Raven," "The Invisible Ray," and maybe "Black Friday." Naturally, there should be commentariy tracks and a documentary, plus trailers. However, since it hasn't been done before, I doubt if it will ever materialize, much like the DVD of "Ed Wood!"

I hope Universal taps there vaults for more Classic Horror, and these "Leagcy Collections" are a great way to get these oldies out on DVD. A Bela Lugosi Collection would be sweet, I also know they own a few Hammer Studios films and they are rumoured to be getting the "Franchised" either late this year or early next year.

Thanks.

I just can't imagine that Universal hasn't found a way to release these movies on DVD. They release classic horror titles and the sales are great. Then they re-release the same titles in different packaging and the sales are great. At least we're getting slightly more titles each time. Last time, we inexplicably didn't get House of Dracula or the Invisible Man/Creature sequels. Now, we're finally getting those, so maybe someday we'll see these other great titles released.

I finally finished my Frankenstein Legacy Collection yesterday. I hope the releases are similar in quality as this was an outstanding purchase. Now to move on to the Wolfman Legacy.
I am particularly looking forward to the Creature from the Black Lagoon set. This first movie was a personal favorite from my childhood days.

Are these all going to be 2-Disc sets? Does anyone know how the movies are divided up? For instance, will it be Disc 1: Invisble Man, Disc 2: all 4 sequels? Or Disc 1: Invisible Man + Return, Disc 2: Woman & Agent?

Actually, put in "The Body snatcher" as well, with the Robert Wise commentary from the laserdisc. I know the film wasn't originally a Universal title, but it would complete the set nicely.

As you say, this isn't Universal -- but WB apparently IS working on a Val Lewton box, and that will be a must! Especially for those of us that have kicked ourselves for not getting the Laser box from a few years ago.
