Some horror icons simply refuse to die, and now, thanks to a new collaboration between Titan Casket and Universal Products & Experiences, that includes you. Just in time for Halloween, Titan Casket has announced a limited-edition collection of Universal Monsters memorial urns, bringing six of classic horror cinema's most legendary creatures into the afterlife business. Developed in collaboration with horror superfan, actor, and Fango fave David Dastmalchian and Titan creative director Elan Gale, the collection offers horror devotees a rather unusual way to keep their fandom alive after we've had a hot date with the incinerator.
The collection features six familiar faces from Universal's monster movie vault: Frankenstein, the Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Wolf Man. It also includes a special companion urn featuring Frankenstein and the Bride, designed to hold the remains of two people. Because true love really is eternal, even when one half of the relationship is stitched together from spare body parts, and the other spends her entire life shrieking in his face.
Each individual urn sports a sleek, high-gloss black finish, a sculpted architectural lid, and a gothic-inspired silhouette that would look right at home in a particularly macabre mansion. Made in the USA from cultured marble, the designs combine classic monster imagery with a polished, premium finish.
The Frankenstein and Bride companion urn takes things a step further, featuring elegant marble veining and portraits of horror's most iconic monster couple. Handcrafted in New England, this double-capacity design is intended as a fitting tribute to couples who shared a lifetime of love but now, well, belong dead.
“People spend a lifetime showing you who they are through the movies they love, the music they play, and the things they collect,” said Titan Casket co-founder Josh Siegel. “That personality deserves a place in how they're remembered, too.”
And who better to help incorporate the Universal Monsters into our afterlife than Grave Conversations host, David Dastmalchian? “The Universal Monsters, from Dracula to the Wolfman, have been etched in my heart since I was a child, so to have an opportunity to begin reimagining those incredible creations for a whole new generation of collectors is a dream come true for this horror-head,” said Dastmalchian. “And this is only the beginning! I can't wait for you all to see what we're cooking up in our lab.”
Only the beginning? Speaking as a pancreatic cancer survivor who cheated death once before, I need more answers, David! I might need to update my living will!
HOW MUCH TO JOIN THE AFTERLIFE CLUB?
If these urns now have you planning your eternal resting place with a little more creature-feature personality, here's the breakdown of what it will set you back:
- Individual Universal Monsters Urns – $299: Choose from Frankenstein, the Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, or the Wolf Man. Each measures 10.25″ x 7″ x 7″.
- Frankenstein & Bride Companion Urn – $599: A double-capacity design celebrating horror's most iconic couple, measuring 15″ x 8″ x 6.25″.
The limited-edition collection is available exclusively through TitanCasket.com. Each urn is produced on demand, with orders typically delivered within 3–4 business days to destinations within the continental United States. And this should go without saying, but in case you didn't know, you can absolutely purchase an urn for yourself even if you have no intention of dying anytime soon. People secure burial plots well before it's their time, and this is no different.
It might seem like an unusual crossover between classic horror fandom and memorial design, but there's something oddly fitting about giving the creatures who helped define horror cinema a place in our final chapter. These monsters have never been particularly good at staying buried. Now, horror fans can make sure their love of the genre lives on, too.
