Dracula - 1 A classic, but the film is slow and stodgy. Not really scary.
Frankenstein - 3 Karloff's monster is truly frightening.
The Old Dark House - 2 I love the film, but it's not really scary.

Dracula- 1 (great movie, which I love, just not anywhere near scary)

Frankenstein- 1 (same as what I said on Dracula)

The Old Dark House- Haven't seen (I actually just bought this a few days ago, but have not had the chance to watch it yet)

Dracula - 1 (seen it 3 times, including recently. Although very interesting, it's so plodding. Script taken directly from a play. That would have been very plodding for a play too.

Frankenstein - 3 (The sets, effects, sounds, look, acting are so effective -- when seen with no distractions, it's completely engrossing into this world, so real, very stark. It really starts to chill you to the bone. It's a masterpiece.)

The Old Dark House - (I don't recall this movie. have to check it out.)

For fans of classic horror, The Old Dark House is a must see. With a cast that includes Karloff, Charles Laughton, Ernest Thesiger, Gloria Stuart, Raymond Massey and Melvyn Douglas, you can't go wrong. Plus it's directed by James Whale!

Dracula - 1
Frankenstein - 2
The Old Dark House - ?

I love Dracula and Frankenstein, but they're not scary. Frankenstein's monster was always a very sweet character in my eyes.

Scare-O-Meter scores (out of 5)

Dracula (based on 8 ratings) - 1.9
Frankenstein (based on 8 ratings) - 2.6
The Old Dark House (based on 3 ratings) - 2.0


Only Frankenstein manages a more than decent rating, while the other two classics disappoint in the scary rankings.

Added to the opening post.
