How about Romero’s zombies?

The most iconic monster for me would be the Franknstein or his creation, it’s like a cult figure

The old classic monsters were re-created by Hollywood from much older folklore. And because of the innocence of that era, and the present day desensitized generation, the classic monsters will always win.

The scariest, most intriguing creatures could be made today, and will never be as fearful as the ones of old, simply because our collective conscienceness as a society has seen it all, it takes something like….

an economic collapse to really scare someone these days.

“Cloverfield” was badass, but “Gojira” is a MASTERPIECE.

I cannot believe this article doesn’t even mention the Hammer horror films.

They did Dracula, Frankenstein and the Mummy (as well as many others the article doesn’t cover), and I’d argue their versions of Frank and Drac are at least superior to Branagh’s and Coppola’s.

Seriously, a debate about who was the best Dracula cannot be complete without mentioning Christopher Lee.

There has to be Monsters! There has to be! I lioke them all and am impartial on this…can’t pick or choose.
However Boris Karloff as Frankensteins monster is the greatest of all time.

@StevenL – Don’t be too sure. There is a 3 Stooges movie in the works and they too had movies with Franekenstein. It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch for them to do a Jay and Silent Bob Meet Frankenstein and end up smoking weed and drinking 40′s with him while they make fun of Bush.

Just couldn’t get enough of those classic Universal monsters. The Wolfman was the best, but Frankenstein and Dracula weren’t far behind. Yet for me, the best movie was Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein. Today I can share that movie with my youngest daughter and introduce her to those classic monsters without her being too afraid to watch.

And the best part about A&B Meet Frankenstein is its pretty much remake proof.

Lastly, to Gigan300, gotta love Godzilla: Final Wars

Alas, I must admit I’ve never seen any of the original flicks. (head bows, tears roll) I have seen all of the newer versions you mention and I like them all (including Van Helsing), except the 3rd Mummy movie with Jett Li (they should have just made a movie about the emperor because I felt the beginning of that movie was quite good).

I would say Frankenstein (the monster, I know, isn’t named that but I can’t help it) is one of my all-time favorite characters, and I’m talking Karloff with Pierce’s makeup. Since I was very young, I would always look forward to every Halloween to not only decorate my home, but to go heavy on Frankenstein stuff (flat head, bolts, scars, big boots, etc.). I’d say Frankenstein ranks up there with Iron Man for me.

Ok, I’m gonna get yelled at here, but the original Mummy was VERY boring.

Lastly, check out my buddy Conor Timmis’ love note to Karloff’s work, KREATING KARLOFF:
