Universal Monsters - Viewing Order

But seriously, how? What? Why?! I didn't expect anything anime to be connected to the Universal Monsters timeline.
It's a bit of a weird one, yeah. I'm less confident in that one actually being part of the universe since it's an adaptation of an existing work. Honestly could remove it very easily but it's fine for now.

Basically, it features traditional monsters from the Universal Monsters brand, and is by Universal (Universal + Dracula/vampires). Personally, I think it's something that can easily be tossed, like the Van Helsing live-action series. The modern era gets like this, lol.

Oh.

Huh
 
Alucard is Dracula, Anderson is Frankenstein's Monster, and the Captain is the Wolf Man too. It does make sense, Dredd. The Ultimate series is also Universal, so again, makes sense. Just leaving a disclaimer that it's more of a take that it's an adaptation of the classic monsters by Universal. So... unless it's contradicted, it's gonna be in here.

It's just nowhere near as solid as, like, all The Mummy films being connected or something like that, lol. No direct links, just Universal Monsters franchise characters in a series by Universal.

Universal Monsters page is perfect example of bias
So are pages for the likes of Gamergate and Bridget (Guilty Gear). The former they've dubbed a "harassment campaign" despite evidence to the contrary, the latter written to essentially remove all trace of him being male due to agenda-pushing localizers falsely retconning him into being a trans-girl.

... yeah, I know that's incredibly off-topic, but just shows the problem with Wikipedia.
 
BTW, not sure if it counts, but Hollow Man 2's (a standalone sequel to the original with Kevin Bacon) main character is Michael Griffin. Again, IDK if it counts or not.
Griffin is a real life name. Also, it comes from the H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man novel. If anything, I'd rather prefer including The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie, but it's not Universal and has no direct connections or crossovers. The Monster Squad movie, however... apparently the Director's commentary confirms the monsters are the same from Universal. I can't verify that for myself. Here's what the Television Crossover Universe blog has to say:
Notes: The monsters are all meant to be the Universal monsters (based on the director commentary). This was also the case with Van Helsing, and as with Van Helsing, we have to assume they are not. But at least in the case of this film, we are closer to the original film versions. The Dracula of this film uses the alias Alucard, as did the Dracula from Son of Dracula. Thus, I presume that this is the same vampire from that film, rather than Armand Tesla. The Frankenstein Creature of this film can't be the one from the Universal series, who is in suspended animation in La Mirada, Florida at this time. But there certainly have been plenty of other creatures out there created by the Frankenstein family. The Wolf Man of this film claims to be Larry Talbot, but since the Universal Wolf Man is also in suspended animation in La Mirada, this must be his son, Larry Talbot Junior. The Mummy here likely isn't Kharis, but it might be Klaris who did survive the events of Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy as revealed in Return of the Wolf Man. On the other hand, the Gill-Man present could be the same from the original films, or at least the same species.
The film does have the Universal Monsters as in-universe films, notably. But... so does Hollywood on Parade No. A-8, Abbott and Costello Meet the Creature from the Black Lagoon, McCloud 7x06, "McCloud Meets Dracula", The Munsters (2022) and Lisa Frankenstein, so hardly that notable.
