Over the years and around the world, many stamps have been issued that depict mythological monsters, cryptids, ghouls, ghosts, and fairy tale foes.



Over a quarter century from 1931–1956, Universal Pictures released over 40 monster films that have become as long lived as the creatures they depicted.



The creepy lineup:

• Lon Chaney as the Phantom of the Opera (1925)

• Bela Lugosi as Dracula (1931)

• Boris Karloff in Frankenstein (1931)

• Boris Karloff as the Mummy (1932)

• Lon Chaney, Jr. as the Wolf Man (1941)



In addition to the color stamps, each actor is featured out of his makeup, along with his signature, in a single-color portrait at the top of the pane.



The Classic Movie Monsters stamps represent a fortunate coincidence. At the same time the Postal Service began to develop the idea, the adult children of three classic movie-monster actors began campaigning to commemorate their fathers on stamps. The two paths converged, resulting in five of the creepiest—and most popular—stamps of the 1990s.
