"Elevated Horror" is Nothing New
<p>Yeah, I'm talking to you, John Krasinski!</p><p>Horror has been producing intelligent, thought-provoking, emotionally profound and socially relevant films since film-making began. And we didn't used to need to have the "message" explained to us in bald exposition, which is the trend the genre has been getting into lately.</p><p>So get off my fucking lawn, and go watch all of these movies immediately!</p>

Universal Horror Classics: Complete List
This is a complete list of all horror films produced by Universal Pictures from the 1931 to 1956. [Note: 'Island of Lost Souls' and 'The Monster and the Girl' were originally produced by Paramount Pictures and later acquired by Universal.]
Here is an exhaustive list of Universal Monster Movies including the new Universal Monster Universe. I will be adding more of those as they are released. If you feel that there is something missing, feel free to suggest an addition. I realize Dracula '92, Frankenstein '94 and Gods and Monsters '98 are not Universal properties but I feel they are closely related and relevant.
<p>The longest running horror franchises.</p><p>English language horror only, although a few foreign films may have slipped in.</p>
Universal Classic Monsters
Universal Classic Monsters is a name given to the horror, fantasy, thriller and science fiction films made by Universal Pictures during the decades of the 1920s through the 1950s. They were the first shared universe in the entire movie industry in Hollywood and around the world.

<p>Some consider the 1931 <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/dracula/" rel="nofollow"><em>Dracula</em></a> starring <a href="http://letterboxd.com/actor/bela-lugosi/" rel="nofollow"><em>Bela Lugosi</em></a> to be the beginning of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Monsters" rel="nofollow"><em>Universal Monsters</em></a> while others consider a few films from their silent era to be included. It's hard to argue against the inclusion of <a href="http://letterboxd.com/actor/lon-chaney/" rel="nofollow"><em>Lon Chaney</em></a>'s iconic portrayal of <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/the-phantom-of-the-opera/" rel="nofollow"><em>The Phantom of the Opera</em></a>, so instead of debating what should or should not be included in this list, I went ahead and put everything whether or not I agree with it myself as some aren't even horror films, but are linked to past <em>Universal Horrors</em>.</p><p>Here are some films that are Universal Horror Adjacent. Films that were bought by Universal Pictures that are often associated with Universal Horror, but are actually from another studio:<br />-<a href="https://letterboxd.com/mr_dulac/film/murders-in-the-zoo/reviews/by/activity/" rel="nofollow">Murders at the Zoo</a> (<a href="https://letterboxd.com/studio/paramount-1/" rel="nofollow">Paramount</a>)<br />-<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/the-monster-and-the-girl/" rel="nofollow">The Monster and the Girl</a> (<a href="https://letterboxd.com/studio/paramount-1/" rel="nofollow">Paramount</a>)<br />-<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/island-of-lost-souls/" rel="nofollow">Island of Lost Souls</a> (<a href="https://letterboxd.com/studio/paramount-1/" rel="nofollow">Paramount</a>)<br />-<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/the-shadow-of-the-cat/" rel="nofollow">The Shadow of the Cat</a> (<a href="https://letterboxd.com/studio/hammer-film-productions/" rel="nofollow">Hammer</a>)</p>
