HORROR
Transcript: Horror But few remember the monsters that began our nightmares... In 1931 Dracula was Directed by Todd Browning and Bella Lugosi was chosen to play the long fanged blood craving monster... today his black cape and sharp features remain the symbols brought to our minds at the mention of vampires , and Dracula continues to hold his mantle of a classic movie monster. Boris Karloff was casted in the 1932 version of The Mummy, that was directed by Karl Freund. The movie was shot in black and white,and has been referred to as "the best mummy movie ever made". One of the most famous storys of a werewolf was played by Lon Chaney Jr. in 1941. The move entitled " The Wolf Man", was directed by George Waggner. It's a bone chilling tale of the horror of a man who becomes a wolf when the moon is full. This movie also makes use of "stop-action" photography for its special effects in showing the transformation of man to wolf, because of that this film went down in horror movie history... However the Creature from the black lagoon did manage to pop off the screen and capture many peoples imagination. This half human, half aquatic beast played off of peoples fears of the unknown...add in dark murky water... and what was made was a classic that would live on as one of the famuous Classic Movie Monsters.

Frankenstein was directed in 1931 by James Whale and this well known icon of horror was born. The Karloff version of the towering, bolt necked monster created the image of fear and tragedy, and created quite the buzz for horror fans.
