Universal Studios, renowned for its Hollywood legacy, embarked on a Dia de los Muertos marketing initiative featuring two iconic Universal Monsters: Frankenstein and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. These creatures were hand painted by Overall Murals in prominent Los Angeles neighborhoods and designed by artists Farid Rueda and Senkoe.

Seeking to harness the cultural significance of Dia de los Muertos while showcasing the iconic Universal Monsters, Universal aimed to connect with diverse audiences through stunning murals that depicted each Universal Creature with distinct artistic flair.

Senkoe infused Frankenstein with vivid colors inspired by the Dia de los Muertos celebration, drawing from their Mexican heritage. This interpretation added cultural depth to the classic monster and was hand painted in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Farid Rueda incorporated geometric elements inspired by ancient Aztec and Mayan gods into the Creature from the Black Lagoon design, enhancing the Creature's scales and gills with a unique visual narrative. It was hand painted in Venice Beach, Los Angeles.

Universal Studios' collaboration with Overall Murals and the artists Farid Rueda and Senkoe exemplified the fusion of cultural celebration, iconic film heritage, and artistic expression. The initiative successfully engaged over 157K passersby, bridging cultural elements with Universal's classic monsters and showcasing murals as a compelling medium for brand storytelling. This campaign not only celebrated Dia de los Muertos but also highlighted the enduring appeal of Universal Studios' iconic characters in a culturally meaningful way.
