Universal Monsters in Our Midst

A glorious paradox: we love the Universal Monsters so much, they get under our skin...










The original inked monstrophiliac was none other than Jack Dracula (immortalized in a Diane Arbus photo essay that appeared in Harper's Bazaar in 1961).  To learn more about the Arbus/Jack Dracula connection, check out David J. Skal's The Monster Show--a book that is an indisputable must-read for serious fans of the Universal Monsters.

Please note: Disagreement is inevitable; disparagement is intolerable. You can differ from someone else's opinion without having to resort to an attack on that person (any improper/insulting commentary will be deleted from this blog). So please remember to show some civility to your M.R. brethren. Thanks--Joe.
