Every Halloween season, most TV stations start featuring horror films on their schedule to steer audiences into the proper spooky mood. Thousands of those films have been made throughout the years but to me, the best horror characters are the ones I first saw on the classic films from the first decades of movie history.
Here is my personal gallery of the great monsters from the movies:
Max Schreck as NOSFERATU
Lon Chaney as THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Lon Chaney as THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
Bela Lugosi as DRACULA
Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's Monster
Boris Karloff as THE MUMMY
KING KONG
Elsa Lanchester as THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN
Lon Chaney Jr. as The WOLF MAN
THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON
The Cyclops from THE 7th VOYAGE OF SINBAD
The Beast from 2,000 Fathoms
GODZILLA
And all the remaining others from that wonderful era!
