First Lady, I'm sorry I pimp-slapped you into that china cabinet. I used excessive force.

One of the greatest movies ever made. The boom mics were the best.

Have you ever seen the Dolemite movies? That's primarily what that was based off of. Classics.

^ So, you're saying every silent/30's horror film is Frankenstien with a different monster?
Because you're not saying anything at all. And obviously cannot read sarcasim.

I've heard of that. It's the film that inspired the original Joker correct?

Yes. Based on the novel by Victor Hugo. The story is amazing, and both the acting and the cinematography were equal to it. It gets very high praise for a silent monster film.

A previous poster suggested you look at German expressionist films. Much of which Frankenstein is inspired by/draws from. So--despite different monsters, you may be equally appalled by Nosferatu or others.
The absolute best exposure I would recommend to to you would be a program called "Universal Horrors". Its narrated by Kenneth Branaugh and demonstrates exactly why the films are classics. It can probably be watched on youtube in segments, or you could rent the Dracula special edition anniversary dvd and it is one of the extras. personally I think you should watch Dracula next. But you will probably dislike it as its very static in areas and a very early talkie. But to me, its better than Frankenstein. Lugosi didnt speak English, and memorized his lines phonetically.
Then you could try Chaney's Phantom. Lon Sr. often brought physical pain to his body for roles like Phantom and Hunchback. The work that went into these films from sets, costumes, art direction, etc. was real. Not produced by someone seated at a pc in the air conditioning. When people bring blood, sweat and tears to a production--it stands the test of time and becomes a classic. That's why the original Psycho is revered as a classic and the nearly shot for shot remake is hated.
Here are some reccomendations:
1. Mystery of the Wax Museum
2. Dr. X
3. The Wolfman
4. Nosferatu
5. Bride and Son of Frankenstein
6. Black Cat
7. Raven
8. The Mummy
9. Island of the Lost Souls
10. Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
there are tons more.

The Bride of Frankenstein.
It's the Gone With The Wind of horror movies.

It sounds amazing from what I read. Humor was something this movie needed a lot.
And I will check out Universal Monsters.

Celtic if you want some newfound appreciation for the 1931 Frankenstein, check out the very first film 'adaptation' of the novel released in 1910 if you haven't already.

Bride of Frankenstein is one of those rare instances where the sequel is superior to the original.
Personally, I think Dracula (1931) is much stiffer and less dynamic than Frankenstein. Lugosi is great but the rest of the film is flat.
