The story is set in approx. 2020 and centers on a group of teenagers who, with help of high tech weaponry, fight off against classic Universal Monsters and spiritual beings threatening humanity. Some of the crew have personal vendettas, while others fight for Mankind out of a sense of altruism. Universal Studios Home Entertainment will release the first seven episodes to DVD on September 15, 2009.
Production
Rare US-Canada collab with surprisingly slick animation.
Practical Effects
Creature designs honor classic Universal monsters beautifully.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Universal's attempt to make their classic monsters marketable to kids after decades of adult horror dominance — basically the OG MonsterVerse strategy.
Only 7 of 13 episodes ever got a DVD release in 2009; the rest are basically lost media holy grails for '90s animation archaeologists.
