Frankenstein (1931)Like 'Nosferatu', this adaptation of Mary Shelley's horror novel helped put movie monsters on the map. But Frankenstein wasn't just a scary figure on the screen, he was horror's first pop culture phenomenon, appearing on everything from T-shirts to lunch boxes. The bolt-necked creep paved the way for more of Universal's monsters to become box office successes, like 'The Invisible Man', 'The Mummy', and 'The Bride of Frankenstein'.
