Universal Horror (1998)

Included on the Dracula DVD set was this documentary about the history of classic monster films made at Universal Studios during the 1930s and 40s. It’s fairly comprehensive in its scope from covering details on each of the films, interviewing a number of people connected to the films (fans who saw them in theaters, actors from the films, and family members of those involved with the productions), and providing historical context by comparing the plots to films at other studios and also the effects of the world wars. I was rather impressed that what seemed like a throwaway bonus feature was so informative.
