Universal Monsters

Universal Monsters isn't a channel that tries to do too much. It's exactly what the name suggests: a rotating lineup of Universal's classic horror catalog, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Mummy. The curation leans heavily on the '30s and '40s golden era, and it's hard to argue with that. But the real value is in the deep cuts. Ever wanted to watch The Invisible Man Returns or Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein? This is the only place you'll find them in regular rotation. You won't get modern remakes here. No 1999 Mummy, just the 1932 original with its stop-motion monster. For anyone looking to Universal Monsters live, the stream is consistent: no commercials for the first 20 minutes of each film, then a block. That's annoying but better than most movie channels. To watch Universal Monsters online, check schedules for marathons around Halloween, that's when they pull out the rarities. It's one of the few Movies tv United States channels that actually earns its niche.
