Same thing happened to me. I previously own that movie in HD. I might contact iTunes and complain.

iTunes does not have "The Bride of Frankenstein" in 4K, so only the HD ported to the other platforms.

My Itunes shows this deal as "720P HD", not 4k as shown in the posting.

It's not a mistake -- Bride of Frankenstein is not 4K. It's the only one in this bundle that's not.

Apparently, only iTunes does not have it in 4K. Vudu has it in 4K.

Can confirm this gets you 500 x 8 (4000 total) points for Universal All-Access Rewards. At the usual redemption price of 1000 per movie, this is basically 4 free movies in addition to the already great deal of $2.50 per movie in the bundle itself. Really great deal.

Nice, so 4,000 points. A free digital movie is 1,0000 points.
  • Note, you must be already signed up for Universal All-Access and have your Movies Anywhere and iTunes linked to your acct to get the points.

Notably the 2nd best Frankenstein movie ever made, curiously behind Young Frankenstein.


Of course neither would be anything without the first Frankenstein


After that, it's pretty much all crap, even the book Big Grin

Not only is the the "universal list" - it's a short add to be the best list of pre-1960 horror that isn't obscure art films.

Off the top of my head, I can only think of Horror of Dracula, which comes much later at 1958

I'll just piggyback this hereā€¦ they also have the Hitchcock collection for $24.99 with 14 films. The ones I looked at were all MA and 4k and from Universal so rewards should also apply. It's been $19.99 before but probably won't drop in time to watch The Birds or Psycho for Halloween.

Edit: looking more about half are HD.

You're right, but this bundle specifically includes the HD version of Bride of Frankenstein, even in the Vudu version of it: https://www.vudu.com/content/movi...e-/1003367

As I understand it, the move here is to purchase the bundle via iTunes, that way if iTunes ever does upgrade Bride of Frankenstein to 4K (which seems like a possibility, as a 4K version exists on Vudu), then that upgrade gets applied automatically to your item in iTunes, which then passes the upgrade to Vudu via MA.
