Ranking Every Universal Monster

[@ActorMikeSutton]

Your analysis was very good! I'm a big universal fan, and this list was great!

I still need to watch a lot of them. Haha. Thanks for reminding me. I personally loved the og Dracula. For me it's the unbeatable goat, though I understand your criticism.

I have to disagree about Lon Chaney Jr. In the mid-sixties when I first saw all these movies as a kid, I hated Larry Talbot. The Wolfman was cool enough and the Gypsies. I also really liked a lot of things about both the 193os Mummy and Dracula had so much more to it than just Bela. You are spot on regarding the Lagoon dweller. Also Lon Chaney Sr. was the man!

Universal's Classic Monster land is set to open in May and it will bring people back to this.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon is my favorite Universal studios monster. I really felt sorry for Creach. He just wanted a mate and to be unmolested in his antediluvian world.

[@ACorzo]

Has the most potential and it's untouched filmicly

[@studogable]

Guillermo del Toro would agree😊

[@rociomiranda5684]

My three monsters are Dracula, the Wolf Man, and the Frankenstein Monster. I could not rank one over the others. I love them all. I agree the orginal Dracula movie is not the best, but Bela Lugosi's Dracula towers over the horror landscape.

[@JEFFIE-jp6kj]

The Frankenstein Monster is the most fascinating IMO

[@BatMite19]

I understand why you went with Wolfie as #1 -- you explained it very well. However, I would have put him lower, simply because he is just one of many werewolves. Oliver Reed, Henry Hull, and David Naughton all had good turns as "a" werewolf, and thus Lon Chaney's version doesn't stand out as much for me as Karloff's Monster. Still, a fun video, thanks. I'm sorry you left out Mr. Hyde, even though he wasn't a Universal monster. Still worth a mention, no?

As a lifelong fan of Castlevania, I have to put Dracula first. You have to defeat damn near every universal monster to reach him. Including mummies and Frankenstein’s monster. In one version, He was cast into hell and ended up defeating Lucifer in a fight. A feat so profound that Death itself decided to join and serve him afterwards. that’s impressive.

Being a lifelong fan of Castlevania… I have to put Dracula first. You have to fight through Damn near every other famous monster to reach him. Mummies, Frankenstein‘s monster etc…. In one version, Dracula went to hell and defeated Lucifer. A feat so profound that Death itself decided to join and serve him. That’s impressive.

Cartoonish role in A & C? Can't agree with that. The monsters themselves in that film are completely straight. The comedy is basically going on around them, or its because of the context of the scene with Costello. The monster roles themselves are in no way comical or cartoonish. The actors are playing the roles just how they did in their own films. It's blended perfectly and a big reason why it's so terrific.

You really nailed it. I liked it enough to subscribe.

[@UndeadNerdT800]

Love the music choice

[@calvinsweet3400]

You did well!

[@RodneyGuitarsplat]

Great comparison video essay. Thanks

[@Trilaan]

Nailed it.

If you consider Lon Chaney Jr. as the definitive werewolf, please have a closer look at the movies of the spaniard Paul Naschy, who was not an alcoholic but a real life sportsman & thus a much better „wolf man“ although not for „Universal“.
