Mulling over this today and decided to list my picks for the best Universal horror films by "era"--which quite conveniently falls amongst decades, too:
1. The Silents ('20s): The Phantom of the Opera
2. The Laemmles ('30s): The Bride of Frankenstein.
3. Slick "Bs" ('40s): The Wolf Man
4. Sci-Fi ('50s): The Creature from the Black Lagoon
Honorable mention: The Black Cat (1934): Strong performances in the leads, striking visuals, and perverse thrill-ride of a script--underrated IMO.
What say ye?
