Viewing Notes

Needed this today. Is this the first time I’ve watched the bluray? Also why is this appearing cropped for 16:9?!

Still my favorite UniMonster and UniMonster movie. As often as I’ve seen this I’m surprised I haven’t it tallied it more. Weird.

Is this part of the Universal Monsters box set? If so I’ll be disappointed if mine is cropped. I have the UK set but haven’t cracked it open yet.

yes, I have the UK box set. It is cropped 1:85 optimized for 16:9 per the specs. I fired up my Legacy Collection DVD set to compare and it’s the original 1:33 ratio. Not sure why they did 1:85 for the blu-ray and couldn’t find any info about it.
