The fourth annual ‘Halloween Havoc!’ extravaganza begins Tuesday October 1st here on Cracked Rear Viewer! Lovers of classic horror films will want to follow along as I post a fright flick review every day for the month of October, and this year, there’s a twist… I’ll be taking a fond look back at all the classic Universal Monster Movies! All your favorite boogeymen will be here – Boris and Bela, Lon and John (Carradine, that is!), Elsa and Evelyn, and a (g)host of other stars. There’ll be Frankenstein’s Monster, Count Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, mad doctors and fiendish henchmen – what more could you ask for this Halloween season! Be sure to join Cracked Rear Viewer all October long for a monstrously good time!
And in case you want to get a (severed) head start, check out these previous Universal Horror posts from the Cracked Rear Viewer crypt:
DRACULA – THE OLD DARK HOUSE – THE MUMMY – MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE – THE RAVEN – THE INVISIBLE MAN RETURNS – THE INVISIBLE WOMAN – MAN MADE MONSTER – THE WOLF MAN – HOLD THAT GHOST – THE MAD GHOUL – HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN – ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN – TARANTULA – THE BIRDS – JAWS
Hi. I’ve been thinking of watching more classic horror films lately. I watched some last year and they seemed better and less Steven King like scary horror. Still haven’t seen the ending of Pet Cemetery! 😱 too scary for me

Can’t wait! Bring on the Universal Monsters! Which of these films are your favourites? They are all good, but I really love Creature From The Black Lagoon, Dracula, The Mummy and The Wolfman. The Black Cat, The Old Dark House and The Raven are awesome too.
