In reply to Mike Boling. That's why it's listed as "bonus". It was however a homage to Universal's movie.

“Young Frankenstien” was not a Universal picture, therefore doesn’t belong in this list.

Wonderful list and the Spanish version filmed on the same set parallel to Lugosi is superb and in so many ways superior. However, suprised at some of the choices – and doesn’t Include The Cat And The Canary, The Black Cat or Dracula’s Daughter. Oh well!

Always loved ‘Frankenstein’. I think Boris Karloff has been hugely underrated as an actor – he was marvellous.

In reply to Charles Barnes.

One of my first TV memories was watching Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man in front of the fire with my mum on Halloween night – about 1981, I reckon. The effect these films have on me is primal and hypnotic. Even the ones which are fairly ropey have charm that is pretty hard to replicate – just ask Stephen Sommers. Thank you for your kind comments. You’re a good man, Charles Barnes.

We share the same attitudes toward Lugosi’s Dracula. I’ve never been too fond of it. I’m intrigued by the Spanish version, I’ll have to watch that soon. You’re also incredibly in tune with my line of thinking in acknowledging the ‘German Masters’ when it comes to horror. This also wholly applies to Vampire/Dracula flicks. Who in their right mind would claim Universal’s Dracula on a par (or, dare I say superior) to the masterpieces Nosferatu or Vampyr?

Huge fan of Whales’ Frankenstein duo. I don’t feel they get quite enough credit in film academia for their, aside from influence and iconography, immense aesthetic quality. Genuinely great films, especially Bride, that masterpiece, which never fails to make me tear up. Shawshank? Folly! Boris Karloff’s interactions with a blind man pierce this hardened soul more than Darabont could ever dream of.

Always appreciate the love for Young Frankenstein, also 🙂
