It is because it was made that it inspired other horror movies to be made thus creating a new movie genre the horror movie genre. I know darn well the Devils Castle is not the best made horror movie everyone knows that. But it is the movie that started the genre. How many movies can say they were the ones that inspired a movie genre to be made? If you want to know what I think is the best giant monster movie here is my answer it is Midnight Episode made in 1899. The reason its the best is the same reason the Devils Castle is the best horror movie. Midnight Episode was the 1st giant monster movie thus inspiring other movie makers to make other giant monster movies even better made movies like KingKong in 1933 or Godzilla in 1954 etc. I dont think the 1931 Frankenstien movie is the best Frankenstien movie but I do think Thomas Edisons 1910 Frankenstien movie is the best Frankenstien movie because it inspied a 2nd Frankenstien movie to be madein 1915 and a 3rd in 1931 etc. If you ask me which is my fave Frankenstien movie the 1931 karloff movie wil be one of my top 3 faves. Alot of fans like Werewolf movies I love em most like Lon Chaney Jr in the Wolfman but the best is the1st Werewolf movie made in 1913 because it was the 1st The Wolfman was made in 1941. My fave is the Howling 1981. Get my point. You have to know the diffrence between the best and a favorate. There is 1 bestand lots of faves. If you have read my posts about Godzilla I am ure you noticed i dont like all the Godzilla movies i like only the good ones. When I talk about movies I have seen I am giving my feeling on how I felt about the movie. I know there are fans of Romero I am not one of them because I am not impressed by his movies but some do like him I never said his movies sucked I just said how i felt about them. If someone were to say hey Godzilla vs. Megalon sucks i would agree with them 100% I would also say Godzillas Revenge sucks 100%. Because its true. If someone says Marry Shelleys Frankenstien movie in 1994 is better than karloff in 1931 I will agree because it is. I dont put what people say down I say things that are true maybe some here are way to sensitive. I like Vincent Price but I dont like all his movies but some are better than others.

You just aren't getting the point. I know the difference between what someone thinks the best is and what someone's favorates are, for instints one of my friends thinks that The Exorcist is the best horror movie but his favorate horror movie is Friday the 13th trust me i know the difference and that's not what this discussion is about, I have no problem with what you like if Godzilla is your favorate and you like alot of the older horror movies that's cool. The thing that i'm not really understanding is why you think that if devil's castle wouldn't have been made that in the last hundred years there would not be one of the hundreds of thousands of horror movies that we have today that doesn't even sound rational. Just because something is the first doesn't make it the best for perfect example the first computer would now because categorized as a peice of junk but the ones we have now are state of the art, another example i'm sure they're were plenty of dramas made before the Godfather but you're telling me since the one made in 1899,1903 or whatever year is better than the Godfather because it was the first? I don't think so. I know there were alot of Sci-Fi films before Star Wars but the first one made in 1900 or something like that isn't better than Star Wars. The point i'm tring to get across that you really really aren't getting is that just because it was the first doesn't mean there wouldn't be any now and it really doesn't mean that it's the best. Once again you're entitled to your opinion just like everybody else but to say some silent crap made in 1896 is better than the Shining or The Exorcist ect. for the simple and irrelevant fact that it was the first horror made doesn't even have anything to do with opinions it's just completely irrational.
