Working in conjunction with the YouTube channel “Fear: The Home of Horror,” seven classic Universal monster movies will be available to watch for free for seven days.

In addition to that, NBCUniversal will be making the movies available at discounted prices to allow fans to add them to their libraries to be watched at any time and as often as they’d like. The films are all remastered and feature crisp audio and pictures and are sure to be a joy to rewatch for any horror fan.

Universal’s vision for these creatures is often hailed as the epitome of horror monster classics, and these films have influenced much of the horror cinema that came after them. Bela Lugosi as Dracula! Boris Karloff as Frankenstein’s monster! Lon Chaney as the Wolf Man! It’s hard to imagine a world in which these iconic characters are not portrayed by these just-as-iconic actors. It’s also no understatement to say that these films changed the way we think of these monsters and invented the genre of horror for cinema to begin with.
So, if you’re interested in revisiting these monster movies in all their glory, head over to the “Fear: The Home of Horror: YouTube channel starting January 15.
