Update:

Thanks everyone. Watched "Frankenstein" and "Bride" -- and they were both wonderful. I'm going to try and find some of the other Whales directed stuff, especially "The Old Dark House" and "The Invisible Man".

What's the consensus on Browning's "Freaks"?

"Invisible Man" was kind of a letdown after seeing "Bride"

Son of Frankenstien is quite good to my knowledge.

Dracula and Frankenstien were hard to watch to my knowledge simply due to lack of sound and super sillyness. heh

Nope, that's the cherry on top.

Yeah I was gonna suggest you ghostwrote it for him. Abominable.

It is reassuring to know that for as much as you dog on me for my taste in comedy, yours is equally indefensible.

have you seen A&C Meet Frankenstein? you know, the one both Tarantino and I love?

Look, I don't even like many of the Tashlin-directed Lewis films, so.
