Universal Classic Monsters (also known as Universal Monsters and Universal Studios Monsters) is a media franchise[1][discuss] based on a series of horror films primarily produced by Universal Pictures from the 1930s to the 1950s. The films were marketed as a line in the early 1990s to suggest to audiences that they were all part of a connected series.
Steve Jones of USA Today described Universal's most famous monsters as "pop culture icons", specifically Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, and the Wolf Man.[2]
