    Love this lens. Lots of great info, however, I believe del Toro's character in The Wolfman was called Laurence Talbot. I don't think any of the characters referred to him as Larry--but it makes me laugh to think they did--Larry the werewolf. lol

    Blessed by a Squid Angel.

    Fabulous lens! I love the old classics so much, I'm currently designing an amigurumi based on Elsa Lanchester in Bride of Frankenstein (easier to do than Boris, no legs), and it made me wonder if anyone had done a lens on a related topic. Delighted to find this. Blessed.

    What a terrific lens! :D As a kid I used to watch these classics through my fingers at 11:30 Friday nights on WXYZ's "Shock Theater" out of Detroit. Scaaaaarry!

    I'm a big fan of old movies - you know, movies where the good guys are good, the bad guys are bad and the monsters are ugly.
    How about the Monster from the Black Lagoon; he's not as old as these, but still something of a cult classic.

    Great lens! I put together one along the same line, with a modern type of antagonist: http://www.squidoo.com/10-biggest-movie-jerks

    Lately I'm loving the zombie TV show Walking Dead. It's scary!

    Universal Studios certainly knew how to frighten us!

    I think someone needs to make a modern Frankenstein movie. They've overdone Dracula and Wolfman stories (although I never tire of seeing them).

    I have to pick Frankenstein as my favorite, although Dracula was great too (mainly because of Bela Lugosi). Not a big fan of Wolf man.

    5*****s and a fave! i just LOVE these old movies...i'd also add The Invisible Man to this list!

    Well done. I love the old Horror movies, their special effects where remarkable for the time and the makeup. Let's face it they set the tone for the really good monster movies that followed, although Karloff and Lugosi are a hard act to follow. Also Lon Chaney Sr. never got his due because his work was in silent movies and apparently only aficionados pay attention to that media now a days.
