The Monster Maker: Jack Pierce's Tribute at Universal Studios Hollywood
In this episode of the Where In The Park Podcast, we continue our series on Universal Studios Hollywood by pausing in front of a subtle tribute to Jack Pierce, the man who created the original Universal Monsters—Frankenstein’s Monster, the Mummy, the Wolf Man, and more. You’ll hear about Pierce’s unlikely start in Hollywood, the makeup innovations that defined a genre, and the quiet nod to his legacy hidden in plain sight along Hollywood Blvd inside the park.
From silver screen screams to a name on a storefront, Jack Pierce’s story is a reminder that some of the most important artists work behind the scenes.
