“I’ve loved the classic monsters ever since I watched those Abbott and Costello horror-comedies on Sunday afternoons as a kid,” the anthology’s editor, James Aquilone, told Conskipper. “And who can resist new stories about Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster and The Invisible Man? Classic Monsters Unleashed is an ode to the old monster movies and books, but also an update. There will definitely be something for everyone.”
