There are others I could add to the list in each of the three eras, but these are the favorites that come to mind this fine Halloween Holiday. Happy Halloween!

The Golden Age

Dracula (1931) Launched the sound horror era as well as the grand Bela Lugosi.

Frankenstein (1931) Karloff's star-making monster role.

The Mummy (1932) Atmospheric Karloff classic.

The Back Cat (1934) Karloff and Lugosi clash.

Dracula's Daughter (1936) Underrated sequel.


The Second Wave

The Wolf Man (1941) A great cast led by Lon Chaney Jr.

House of Frankenstein (1945) A real Universal Monster Bash! Or is that Monster Mash?


The 1950s Revival

Mostly science fiction films during the Universal International 1950s, but their best horror effort of the period was Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
