Montegrappa’s New Universal Monsters Pens Are Scary Good

Your handwriting is about to get even more horrifying. Montegrappa is putting a spooky spin on stationery with a new collection of pens inspired by your favorite Universal Monsters. 

Available now, the lineup transforms Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon into frightfully fancy writing instruments. Equal parts eerie and elegant, the pens pay tribute to classic Hollywood horror with intricate details that capture the charm, character, and creep-factor of each monstrous muse. Whether you get your claws on a rollerball, ballpoint, or fountain pen, this collection is truly to die for.

Dracula fans can sink their teeth into a limited-edition pen as glamorous and gothic as the count himself. This dark, dramatic design features elaborate silver detailing, crimson resin accents, and a bat-shaped clip perched upside down on the cap. You can even unseal a secret compartment to find Dracula staring back on the rollerball version or to check how much blood-red ink remains in the fountain pen’s reservoir.  

Frankenstein’s monster adds a little mad science to the mix with a striking homage to the 1931 film. Brass from top to tip, the limited-edition pen comes to life with gritty electroplating and a variety of kinetic contraptions, like a mini handwheel that reveals the monster’s head hiding within the cap. When they’re not sketching out their latest experiment, fans can store the pen on the included laboratory-themed display, so they can show off their macabre masterpiece. 

For those looking to dive deeper, the Creature from the Black Lagoon pen really makes a splash. Inspired by his aquatic abode, this murky, olive-green pen features a scaly texture across the grip, complete with a claw-shaped grip and the creature’s face on the cap. 

The Creature from the Black Lagoon pen is an open edition, while only 135 Dracula rollerballs and fountain pens will be available, and Frankenstein’s is limited to 230 of each. If you miss out on the limited editions, never fear! Open-edition versions of Dracula and Frankenstein are also available, so you can still write with your favorite frights.
