Top 5 Old School Monster Movies

Horror movies have been popular since going to the theater, even for silent movies, was possible. There are many horror movies that might be considered lame at one time, but they have been redone over the years so many times that they are still popular to this day. If you are looking for a good monster movie, here are the top originals.

1Frankenstein

Bella Lugosi played the original Frankenstein in the late 1930s and the movie is still a classic to this day. While the movie series has been redone several times, Frankenstein will always be the original monster creation.

2 Dracula

What better way to spark fear and excitement all at the same time than to watch a “Dracula” flick. Dracula was the fist vampire that began with the popular book of the early 1900s.

3Creature From the Black Lagoon

What could possibly be more scary than the things that you can’t see that live in the water? When they come out, covered in slime and seaweed, people tend to get a bit scared. This movie was remade a couple of times, but the success wasn’t as great as the original.

4The Wolf Man

In 1941 when this movie was originally made, there was nothing scarier than the possibility of people turning into half wolves and ravaging their town. This movie was recently remade, starring Anthony Hopkins, and while it retained some of its original monster quality, it wasn’t anything like the original.

5Night of the Living Dead

Zombie popularity is often times associated with struggling economical times, perhaps this lends to the fact why this original zombie movie is still popular. Many people still think that zombies or other human brain and flesh eating monsters are possible with all the advances in technology and chemical and biological warfare. In any case, the original Night of the Living Dead is still as popular as ever.
