The Universal Monsters are the titular main antagonists of Universal Pictures' franchise of the same name.
They are so named because their debuts were in movies made by film production and distribution company Universal Pictures. However, they also appear in non-Universal media (unlike the Princesses, who only appear in Disney media), so the name Universal Monsters is non-indicative. Despite this, the team is one of Universal Pictures' most profitable franchises.
Overview[]
Much like the Princesses, the appearance of this team is in crossover media. How malicious the Universal Monsters are depending on the specific media portraying them, with movies like Hotel Transylvania and Mad Monster Party portraying them less maliciously and a lot comedic, while movies like Van Helsing and The Monster Squad portraying them as more villainous, sinister, and malicious. Count Dracula, the leader of the team, is usually seen as the evilest out of all the Universal Monsters, save in some very rare cases (fitting his status as the "Prince of Darkness").
The member of the Universal Monsters with the least appearances of all of the monsters is the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Draculaura, Frankie Stein, Clawdeen Wolf, Cleo De Nile, Lagoona Blue, Invisi Billy and Operetta from the Monster High franchise are the offspring of the Universal Monsters respectively.
History[]
Halloween Horror Nights[]
The Universal Monsters are confirmed as the main antagonists of the 2018 Halloween Horror Nights, befitting both their status as the original villains of Universal's horror franchises and also the company's interest in reviving the group.
So far Universal has announced it shall be creating unique mazes based around their iconic monsters and give each monster an updated yet still recognizable look and feel.
