Hi,
The Universal Frankenstein Legacy Collection is a four-disc set, containing five movies and various extras. I can not recall any of these movies ever appearing on television in New Zealand, and the first one I ever saw was Bride of Frankenstein, on a rented videotape in the 1990s.
Frankenstein (1931); Bride of Frankenstein (1935); and Son of Frankenstein (1939) all starred Boris Karloff as the Creature. Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) had Lon Chaney Jr; and House of Frankenstein (1944) had Glenn Strange as the Creature, with Boris Karloff playing a Mad Scientist.
The Creature also appeared in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943), which is in the Wolf Man Collection; House of Dracula (1945), which is in the Dracula Collection; and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. The set also contains a short film called Boo ! (1932) which is made up of clips from various horror films, including Frankenstein.
Among the extras are theatrical trailers for all the films, documentaries, and commentaries on the first two films. Another great set.

The original Frankenstein, and The Bride of Frankenstein, are two of the greatest horror films of all time. Have to say I never saw any of the sequels! SFZ
