Monsters of Legend is the sixteenth album by the band Midnight Syndicate. Advertised as a tribute to the Golden Age of Horror, the packaging features images from Bride of Frankenstein and Dracula. The album features the blend of orchestral instrumental music, sound effects, and audio storytelling that the band has become known for.
Dread Central wrote that "This is what Midnight Syndicate does best: dark, goth instrumental orchestrations that fit a general theme and provide an excellent mental backdrop to all things horror. Monsters of Legend represents the pinnacle of this kind of music."FEARnet included the album in its Best of 2013: Top 13 Horror-Friendly albums of 2013. In May 2014, the album won the Best CD category in the 12th annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards.
