This past weekend, Universal launched its all-new take on their classic monster movie pantheon known as the “Dark Universe” with The Mummy, starring Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella. Naturally, this means it’s time to look back at the original films that inspired this latest iteration, and that’s not difficult to do; when you’re a “monster kid” like so many of us, you’ve been living with these movies throughout your entire life, watching them over and over. And certain moments in particular elevate those movies to the level of “classic,” so let’s look at 13 of them!
I decided to break these down in chronological order, giving you which film in the series it’s from, who participates in the scene in question, and why it’s significant (or at least why I think so). Given the limit of 13 slots, I also picked just one moment per film, and I stuck to just the core movies – that is, the ones with the pantheon of monsters we remember best that eventually dovetail into a connected storyline, and not necessarily other Universal horror entries like The Old Dark House or The Black Cat, or even The Werewolf of London. Even given that restriction, I still threw in The Mummy and The Invisible Man, but I also stopped at the series’ narrative end in House of Dracula, thus relegating the likes of the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Mole People, or the Monolith Monsters to a future list; hey, you want them here, you write your own! And so, let us return once more to a new world of gods and monsters!
