This is a 1954 monster movie classic. A group of scientists are looking in the Amazon River for fossils when they find Gill-Man (yes, that really is his name) in the Black Lagoon. Of course they capture it but it gets away only to return later to kidnap a woman in their party.
Dracula
The 1931 version of Dracula is a classic black and white horror film. Bela Lugosi’s portrayal of Dracula is worth the viewing.

Dr. Van Helsing discovers that Dracula is a vampire and does what is necessary to prevent Mina from becoming a vampire as well
Frankenstein

The Bride of Frankenstein
This is a 1935 classic that is a sequel to Frankenstein. It is one of those rare sequels that is as good as the original, some even consider it better. Karloff returns as the monster in this movie. A different crazy scientist, Dr. Pretorius, forces Dr. Frankenstein to create a mate for the monster.
The Invisible Man
This is another classic horror film from the 1930s based off of an H.G. Wells novel. This one was made in 1933 and is about a scientist who succeeds in making himself invisible with a special formula. The mixture begins to make him crazy and he goes on a killing spree.

The Wolf Man
The 1941 version is the most known and best of the versions of this movie. Larry Talbot visits a gypsy camp and while saving a girl from a werewolf, is bitten by it. This makes him turn into a werewolf during every full moon.
