The Invisible Man is one of the oldest ideas for a terrifying creature. The character was influential in literature when H.G. Wells first wrote the story. However, the character gained a rich, new life once he joined Universal's stable of classical monsters in the early 20th century. Giving The Invisible Man a modern facelift hasn't been easy.
