In reply to: DAN 's message, "Universal Horror Sequels" on 17:51:24 08/13/12 Mon

Some excellent points and observations, Dan.

Like Dan, I think of Alucard in Son of Dracula as the son of the original Dracula, not Count Dracula himself. Countess Zaleska destroyed the body of the original Dracula in Dracula's Daughter, as Dan notes in his comments about House of Frankenstein.

House of Dracula is fun, but has lots of flaws. By this point Universal didn't appear too enthused about the future of the Frankenstein series, and horror films in general.

In 1948 Universal gave the big three, the Frankenstein Monster, Dracula and The Wolf Man, a final send off in the comical Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein. The comedy duo would later encounter The Invisible Man and The Mummy.

I am not as familiar with The Mummy series as Dan is, but clearly Universal put less care and less budget into their horror sequels as time went on.
