Description

Collection of four classic horrors. In 'The Mummy' (1932) an Egyptian archaeological expedition discovers a sarcophagus containing the mummy of priest Im-Ho-Tep (Boris Karloff), who was buried alive 3,700 years ago as a punishment for attempting to bring a vestal virgin he loved back to life... In 'The Bride of Frankenstein' (1935) scientist Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) finds himself blackmailed into creating a mate (Elsa Lanchester) for his monster by his former mentor Dr Praetorius (Ernest Thesiger).

In 'Phantom of the Opera' (1943) Paris Opera House violinist Enrique Claudin (Rains) pays for beautiful singer Christine DuBois (Susanna Foster)'s lessons without her knowledge. After tragedy strikes, the horribly burnt, half-insane composer hides in the sewers beneath the Opera House, devoting himself to furthering Christine's singing career. Finally, in 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' (1954) an expedition exploring the Amazon River discover a 'Gill Man' - half man and half amphibian.

After capturing the creature, it falls in love with the chief scientist (Richard Carlson)'s female assistant (Julie Adams), and kidnaps her before making its escape.
