Today, the movie landscape is dominated by franchises. From some that started in the 1970's like STAR WARS and HALLOWEEN to the current clash between Super Hero titans MARVEL and DC, Hollywood just can't resist pumping out sequel after sequel of recycled content to the salivating audiences.
But what if I told you that franchises were nothing new. There's one, in fact, that goes back almost 100 years. It gave life to some of the most famous characters in movie history and laid the foundation and techniques for every single film that followed in its path. This franchise is not only Hollywood's greatest but it was also its first. It was called...UNIVERSAL HORROR.
So, join me, Brendan Lee, for a new season of FROM SILENT TO STREAMING, where over the next 5 weeks we will go back in time almost a century to discover the origin and legacy of Hollywood's original "Film Franchise."
SEASON 3: UNIVERSAL HORROR begins March 1st.
