Collection of six horror classics produced by Universal Pictures. In 'Dracula' (1931) Renfield (Dwight Frye) travels to Transylvania to facilitate Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi)'s forthcoming move to England. After ignoring warnings from the locals, he is attacked and enslaved by Dracula, who is in fact a centuries-old vampire. Upon arriving in England with Renfield, Dracula is drawn to Mina Seward (Helen Chandler) and seeks to claim her for his own but her fiancé John Harker (David Manners) and Professor Van Helsing (Edward Van Sloan) are determined to save her and put an end to Dracula's malevolent schemes. In the sequel 'Dracula's Daughter' (1936) Van Helsing is arrested for murder after the police discover Dracula's body. Meanwhile, Dracula's daughter Countess Marya Zaleska (Gloria Holden) has come to London seeking to cure her vampirism. When she is unable to resist her thirst for blood, she hopes that Van Helsing's former student Dr. Jeffrey Garth (Otto Kruger) will be able to help her but her desire to make him her eternal companion may prove to be her undoing. 'Son of Dracula' (1943) follows Katherine Caldwell (Louise Allbritton), a student of the occult who is fascinated with Count Alucard (Lon Chaney Jr.) and invites him to join her in New Orleans. They soon marry, much to the displeasure of her former fiancé Frank Stanley (Robert Paige), but Dr. Harry Brewster (Frank Craven) and Professor Lazlo (J. Edward Bromberg) fear that Alucard may be a descendent of Count Dracula. Meanwhile, Katherine has plans of her own in motion... In 'House of Frankenstein' (1944) Dr. Gustav Niemann (Boris Karloff) is imprisoned for attempting to recreate Dr. Frankenstein's experiments. When he escapes, he revives Count Dracula (John Carradine), the Wolf Man (Chaney Jr.) and Frankenstein's monster (Glenn Strange) as he hopes to be able to use them to gain revenge on his enemies. In 'House of Dracula' (1945), Count Dracula (Carradine) arrives at the laboratory of Dr. Franz Edelmann (Onslow Stevens) claiming to be seeking a cure for his vampirism. Meanwhile, Lawrence Talbot (Chaney Jr.) hopes that Edelmann can prevent him from transforming into the Wolf Man again but soon it is Edelmann who is at risk of becoming a monster. Finally, in 'Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein' (1948), baggage clerks Chick (Bud Abbott) and Wilbur (Lou Costello) find themselves in trouble when they realise the crates they are transporting contain Count Dracula (Lugosi) and Frankenstein's monster (Strange). Lawrence Talbot wants the clerks to help him destroy the evil pair but Dracula aims to transplant Wilbur's brain into the monster. Trapped in Dracula's castle, can Chick and Wilbur escape with their lives?
