I recently finished listening to a 3 hour 35 minute YouTube video essay entitled "Why I Think the Universal Classic Monster Films are Underappreciated." The link is below; unfortunately I cannot embed it as it is restricted to viewing on the YouTube site only. It's tour-de-force where a young man (Jonas Meichel) who sounds like he may not have even born until this century reviews, analyzes, and ranks nearly all Universal monster movies from 1931's DRACULA through THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US. I found it fascinating (and a bit heart-warming) to get the perspective of and hear the commentary by such a "youngster" as he mines through the classics that so many of us grew up with. During the last ten minutes he gives a summary in which he relays his thoughts on the "why" of the video's title.
