Movie's Greatest Monsters!

[phantomstranger]

It is a dark and stormy night (really it is...it's raining like hell right now) and I have monsters on my mind, so I ask you fellow fans...who or what ,do you think, are the greatest monsters in movie history? Creatures of the night? City stomping giants? Man-made monsters? Knife weilding psychos? My personal favs are listed below..looking forward to seeing yours.

1.Dracula-Lugosi and Lee I think are the two best, but Langella did a fine job...hated the Francis Coppolla film.

2. Godzilla-Okay I know these are corny and silly films, but I still love them....hated the American remake.

3.King Kong-A true classic (RIP Fay Wray) I'm curious to see what Peter Jackson will do with it.

4.Creature From The Black Lagoon-Just great B-movie fun..and Julie Adams was hot.

5.The Wolf Man-simply an excellent movie.

6.Ghosts- From "The Haunting" to "The Others" nothing spookier then things that go bump in the night.

7.Frankenstein's Monster-But only the Universal one

8.Freddy Kruger-Some of the films were a little silly, but the original still packs a punch.

Thats it for now, Happy Halloween everyone.

No disrespect to the modern slashers and stalkers and such, but I've always liked the older ones. Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the Mummy, the Wolf Man, the Creature From the Black Lagoon, the Invisible Man, the Phantom of the Opera, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

I agree :D

I love:

Lugosi as Dracula

Karloff as Frankenstiens monster

Chaney Jr as the Wolf Man

and Fulci's highly detailed/highly rotted Zombies

[urgeok]

definately zombies

[tachii]

werewolves, vampires, zombies, and that creepy kid next door

[ADOM]

Werewolves--definately
Anything Harryhausen animated!
Mutants, like the freaky bears in PROPHECY
Most giant-sized beasts, especially liked THEM, but Tarantuala and all of those
All forms of Giant Ape, including that horrible Konga.
Giant Monsters looking to get their young back, like Gorgo.


Who am I kidding? If it's inhuman and on a rampage, I like it!

[Demonic Faces]

Dracula-gerad butler, criss lee
Wolf Man -Chaney Jr

plus others like Phantom of the Opera, The alien from the Thing, The Mummy, The Blair Witch, The creature from the black lagoon, Zombies, King Kong, Godzilla, Dr.Jekyll and Mr Hyde,

Those r my favourites

well, i finally got the last of the universal monster series boxsets.
The Mummy, The Creature From the Black Lagoon, The Invisible Man, Dracula, The Wolfman, and Frankenstein.
Each one has 4 - 6 movies.

so in about a year I'll have a better opinion on this thread.
