I am looking for a style of personal checks. The style I am looking
for is vampire and monster movie themes. When I saw a check like it,
it had a Universal Studios copyright. I have searched all companies
that I can for any monster or Halloween style themes and found none. I
have looked on Universal Studio's website. I know these checks exist
but cannot find them. I have runn out of search options. I have tried
"monster theme checks" , " vampire checks" and even have gone to
gothic merchandise outlet sites.  Help....

It looks like the Universal Monsters line was a special edition from
Checks Unlimited.

I searched their site, but it appears that they are no longer offering
that check design.  I'll keep looking for something similar.

Style Checks has a set based on The Munsters.

That horribly long link didn't paste well; you'll need to copy and
paste it into your address bar to visit the page.  Or just go to
stylechecks.com, click on "Collector's Edition," and go to the second
page.

If you have a color ink jet printer, you can design your own monster
movie themed checks with some inexpensive software:

You'd want the Silver Edition, which is ~$30, though you can sometimes
still find the slightly older "VersaCheck Personal" software at
OfficeMax, Office Depot, or Staples for ~$20.  Both allow you to use
whatever image you would like on your checks.
