This geocache is NOT at the above coordinates; that turnoff from the main road (which NEVER turns out well for the characters in monster movies) is where you can approach “Monster Alley” where several un-natural creatures may be lurking …

You must obtain the coordinates to the location of the container by finding the first eight geocaches in this series and getting the FINAL puzzle clue from the inside cover of the logbook for each. Then – use those clues to solve the very simple puzzle below.

This series is meant to ease the burden of the stay-at-home orders in place to some extent; watch a movie you may not have seen ever before or recently, and work on finding a new geocache as well.

This cache was placed while following all Colorado guidelines and rules during the Coronavirus outbreak. As these conditions change frequently, please ensure that you follow all current guidelines while searching for this series of geocaches.

These are Classic Monster movies, not classic horror movies; when they were made, they may have shocked the audiences but by today's standards, they are not very scary at all.

This Classic Monsters series is named after 8 films, all produced by the same Hollywood film company, from 1931-1945. Seven of the eight are in black and white, also known as "monochrome", with Phantom of the Opera being produced in Technicolor. As such, a few of the Phantom questions are about colors seen in the film. There is also THIS FINAL CACHE !!! These movies are not lengthy -- 7 of the 8 range from 70 to 79 minutes long, and Phantom of the Opera is 92 minutes. You DO NOT have to purchase anything to solve the puzzles to learn where the geocaches are -- they are available on several streaming and download services, as well as at many libraries.

There is a Classic Monsters FINAL cache trackable (a Night Howler) printed out and in the front of the logbook as well for discovery.

Here are all the geocaches in the Classic Monsters series:

1. Dracula (1931)

2. Frankenstein (1931)

3. The Mummy (1932)

4. The Invisible Man (1933)

5. The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

6. The Wolf Man (1941)

7. Phantom of the Opera (1943)

8. Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954)

9. Classic Monsters FINAL cache

So -- let's go get that FINAL cache !

Each of the 8 movie caches has a puzzle clue in the front of the logbook; I used the first letter of each movie and the clue is a single digit. In the very simple puzzle below, substitute the number in the corresponding geocache (D in the Dracula cache, I for Invisible Man, etc.) and if necessary, add or subtract a single digit. That’s it. Good luck !!!

The FINAL cache is located at: North 38 5 (W-2) . (M-1) (F-2) (B) West 105 2 (I) . (C+2) (D-1) (P+3)

After a fun morning chasing down clues and enjoying a beautiful drive in the mountains it's time for a bittersweet finale. I got this just in time. The clouds were building again and as I headed back to car the rain started again. Thanks for all the hard work Glenn that you put into this series!!

We have really enjoyed watching the old horror movies. Up to this point we have pretty much watched all that TV has to offer! I'm glad we got this final before the campground opens! We had to hike from the gate but it was a beautiful day to be out! Thanks for another great series of caches. Left a few travelers for the next finders and discovered the two that were in the cache. Stamped the log and we're off to the next one. [8d][8d] SL TFTC

WOW what a day we had completing this classic Monster series. Had to settle for the Bronze but that was ok. Started watching the movies and getting the coordinates solved as they published but decided to wait to come up and find the caches when we could do them all at once. Today seemed like a perfect day to do that since the last of them published yesterday. As with all 3 Williams Kidz caches and series this was fun from start to finish. Enjoyed watching the classic films, had a fun time hiking in the woods for the caches and found the large containers just where they were supposed to be in great shape. The placement of this final was great. Thanks for the awesome day 3 Williams Kidz. So we don’t go thru withdrawal we’re still working on your previous classic movie series.

It's over and all of my hard work has paid off. Learned more about "Mystery" caches than I ever knew before. Loved the hiding spot for this one but all of the hiding spots were good. Thanks for the 2TF Prize. I will use it soon. Had a great time! Thanks 3 Williams Kidz! You rock. Took my prize, SL and was on my way.

I got to the coordinates and was kind of happy and sad at the same time because the fun series is history.

Thanks again for another great series to hunt for!

Grabbed the FTF prize ( Thanks again! ) and headed home .
