These 10 cinematic universes predate the MCU! Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/ho3Hg6

Long before Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark ushered in the blockbuster leviathan that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, filmdom boasted other interconnected celluloid realms full of Draculas, exotic alien species, and exciting merchandising opportunities. Heck, rumour has it there is one cinematic universe out there where M. Night Shyamalan makes films people are willing to pay to watch! Yes, these are all disturbing universes in their own right and we're going to list them for you right now!

For those of you who make their home under rocks or parallel worlds - without television or wifi - a shared movie universe is made up of a series of created works - like movies, television, and novels - created independently by more than one writer or artist. Well, as it turns out, the film industry is built on the backs of hungry writers struggling to ply their craft. It’s also full of executives and studio heads eager to bankroll a new yacht, which means they’re always looking for new ways to make money. And sometimes that means bringing together a bunch of different characters into the same universe - because name recognition is the best kind of marketing you can ask for.

We’ve put together a list of a surprising number of film universes cobbled out of the whims of such men and women - but mostly men, who are we kidding - eager to make a buck and put butts in the seats. Some of these universes are far deadly and more expansive than the MCU. There’s one movie universe out there where humans are preyed on by multiple alien species in an intergalactic grudge-match and another where career criminals fight off hordes of angry, sexy vampires. What we’re saying is, why not make yourself a cup of coco and take a deep dive into these bizzaro movie universes with your pals at Screen Rant. You won’t be disappointed.
