Gentlemen, we are dealing with the undead. Nosferatu? Yes, nosferatu, the undead, the vampire. The vampire attacks the throat. It leaves two little wounds: white with red centers.

DRACULA (1931) dir. Tod Browning

RANKING THE 8 CLASSIC UNIVERSAL MONSTERS

#8 | Ben Chapman & Ricou Browning as the Gillman (Creature from the Black Lagoon, 1954)

“We’ve just begun to learn about the water and its secrets, just as we’ve only touched on outer space. We don’t entirely rule out the possibility that there might be some form of life on another planet, and why not some entirely different form of life in a world we already know is inhabited by millions of living creatures?”

Dracula Directed by Tod Browning (1931)

The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) dir. Erle C. Kenton

Richard J. Anobile’s Film Classics Library was an important part of pre-home-video film culture. These books were filled with stills and excerpted dialogue from classic films. You only had a few avenues to see movies back then (repertory cinema, television) and all of that at the whim of programmers, so these books helped fill the gap for the curious. I also have the 1932 Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, The General, and Casablanca.
