My favourite would definately be Dracula.
I think that is probably because as far as the story goes, I have always preferred the Dracula story to Frankenstein/Wolfman/etc. It might also be because as a child that was the Universal horror that I was most eager to track down and see - I think I got a chance to see Bride of Frankenstein first, and then Frankenstein. However, I feel that the first two Frankenstein movies are technically superior, and it is obvious that The Wolf Man is 10 years newer than Dracula. But Dracula will always have a special place with me... |

Bride of Frankenstein, hands down the best of all.
I do love Draucula for its chilling gothic atmosphere and comfortable plot. And I absolutely love The Invisible Man. Fun, dark, and amazing special effects.

Creature is really amazing. It was a great followup to the Universal Horror of the 30s and 40s, taking the atmosphere and heart and bringing it into a more modern context. Visually, philosophically, everything, it's incredible. It and the Wolfman are my absolute favorites, although Bride of Frankenstein has some of the best scenes in the history of horror. Without Universal's contributions, there'd be no horror films that could appeal to any audience.

If you ever get a chance to see any classic horror movie (and for that matter any kind of classic film) on the big screen..Do so! You will not regret it. The big screen was how these pictures were meant to be seen. |

I totally agree. I have had almost no chances to see old Universal classic horror flicks on the big screen, but I have tried to see them when I can, and it is a special warm feeling. It's also nice to be around a bunch of people who feel the same way. Everyone savors every flicker of light on that screen!
I saw a special screening of "Bride of Frankenstein" last Halloween season and it was pretty darn sweet.....I loves me teh movies. |

Not that anyone cares, but I saw THE WOLFMAN again on Netflix instant viewing, and it was better than I remembered. Still not a "masterpiece" but I guess it deserves to be regarded as a "classic."
