Frankenstein, Wolfman & Dracula: Together Again!

As most of you know, I love a good horror movie. I'll watch most any kind of horror film from the giant bug movies of the 50's to the unstoppable serial killers of recent days. But my favorite type of horror movies are ones with great monsters.
Especially the classic monsters.






Frankenstein.



Dracula.









The Wolfman.


These are the big three. The kings of the hill. The monsters that other monsters aspire to be.
And next summer they'll all be in the same movie!


Van Helsing stars Hugh Jackman as the famed vampire killer, Dr. Abraham Van Helsing.

In the screenplay, written and directed by
Stephen Sommers, Van Helsing goes to Transylvania to hunt down and kill Count Dracula, and finds himself up against the Wolf Man and Frankenstein's monster as well. How cool does that sound?

Cool enough that even though the movie doesn't come out until May of next year,
they're already planning a tv series "based" on the idea and leaving the door open for sequels.

And that's just great news for horror movie fans like me!
