Hmmmm... no way I can rank all the sequels, but I'll do what I think are the essential Universal Monster films, which, for me, are the initial films for each monster, the first two Frankenstein sequels, and Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

1. Bride of Frankenstein
2. The Invisible Man
3. Frankenstein
4. The Wolf Man
5. Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein
6. The Mummy
7. Dracula
8. The Creature From the Black Lagoon
9. Son of Frankenstein

... those last three are a but iffy in the ranking, as they're about equal in my eyes. I love all these movies.

I have a fondness for many of the other sequels, too, but rank them a bit below those I've listed. Now, for what Universal Monster films I do not like: I do not enjoy the Kharis films. I didn't include Old Dark House and The Black Cat in my list because they're not monster films, awesome though they are. I didn't include Lon Chaney Sr.'s silent Phantom and Hunchback because (deep breath) I haven't watched either in their entirety yet! Don't pelt me with cabbages! I'll get the Blu-Rays soon, I swear!

I'm a big fan of the Frankenstien sequels, the Mummy sequels, Invisivible Man sequels and Gillman sequels but couldn't remember which is which if my life depended on it.

With that in mind:

1. Frankenstein
2. The Wolf Man
3. Dracula
4. The Black Cat
5. The Invisible Man
6. Bride of Frankenstein
7. Phantom of the Opera(rains)
8. The Raven
9. The Werewolf of London
10.The Invisible Ray

Any list that doesn't have The Creature From the Black Lagoon is wrong.

I'm boycotting this thread for its lack of Man Made Monster.
