There really isn't much resemblance to the source material (at all) but it's hard to deny that both works are masterpieces of their respective mediums. Karloff's turn as the Monster has to be one of the all-time greatest cinematic performances.
If you compare the aesthetic value in their respective media, the movie's better. Shelley had a good imagination, took a lot of suggestions from Percy, but is the perpetrator of some truly ugly and redundant prose, while Whale created a visual masterpiece with exceptional acting from Karloff.

One of those counts as Classic era horror- the other is not.

Nosferoto....

I forgot how you spell that; anyway, I am sure the last horror flick I saw was the black & white, silent film, "Nosferotu, the first vampire." It is good, except for maybe some skipped parts because the film is so old.
