Universal Monsters
Universal Monsters
I think I like the concept of the Hollywood Universal Monsters better than the original movies.
The source material novels for Frankenstein and Dracula were great, classics I first read as a teenager in high school, but all the early movie interpretations were a bit campy and missed the intricacies of the source material.
That said, they did make some classic images that are still used by horror fans today.
This particular collection was illustrated by Jason Edminston, who liked my tattoo interpretation so much he included it in his book and wrote a blurb for a novel I released! It also won “Best Horror Tattoo” at the 2025 “Blood and Ink” tattoo convention!
