Count Dracula is the world-famous vampire who set the standard as the true king of blood-sucking evil! Sophisticated and ruuthless, this blood-sucker can morph into a bat, wolf, rat, and even a fine green mist to get where he wants to go. In 1933, the first Dracula movie, called Dracula, was released in thaters with Bela Lugosi as the cunning killer himself. The most recent Dracula film, Bram Stoker's Dracula, is very accurate to the book. Dracula's archenemy is Professor Van Helsing, although the vampire has also fought more well-known adversaries including the Batman himself.

The Frankenstein's Monster is a misunderstood creature, pieced together by Doctor Victor Frankenstein from stolen dead body parts. Contrary to the movies, the Monster was not created in a lightning storm but instead in a chemical vat. Upon seeing his Creature's hideousness, Dctor Frankenstein shunned the beast and left it to fend for itself, turning it bitter against humanity. Boris Karloff played the Monster in its first film, and although it has been portayed as a revenge-seeking, idiotic lump of a beast, it actually can speak and can think for itself. A few people even felt pity for the Monster and sheltered it, but it ended up being a danger to them and it fled in the night to protect those who helped him.

The Invisible Man was once Doctor Jack Griffin, a brilliant scientist, who developed a drug that could turn one invisible. However, the doctor could find no way to reverse this effect, and it also had the unfortunate side effect to turn the user insane. Griffin killed a policeman in a fit of rage and a manhunt was set on him. He managed to derail a train and kill his accomplice when he was betrayed by him. However, when it snowed, his footprints were visible and he was shot to death. One dead, the man became visible again, but he had paid the ultimate price. Claude Rains played this mad man in the 1933 film The Invisible Man.

The Wolf Man is also a normal man, Larry Talbot. He was played by Lon Chaney, Jr. in the movies. Larry was bitten by a gyspy in werewolf form and although he killed the wolf, was cursed to transform at thhe full moon. He could see a Pentagram symbol on the palm of his next victim's hand. He slew a gravedigger late one night and soon the whole village he lived in was looking for "a wolf." Larry tried to tell his problem to his father and the town dignitaries, but they laughed and believing him to be insane, stapped him to a chair for his own safety. That night, Larry transformed into the Wolf-man, and broke free of his bonds. He prowled the night and threatened the woman he loved, but before any harm could be done his father beat him with a silver cane. This killed the Wolf man and Larry died peacefully, knowing he was at last freed of his curse.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon or the Gill-Man is the last surviving member of an amphibious race of men from prehistoric times, and he lived in solitude in South America. After being distubed by a group of archaeologists, the Gill-Man goes on a rampage, and kills first two assisants to the doctors but is captured. After he violently escapes, he kidnaps the only female member of the expedition, Kay, and takes her to his underwater lair. Unknown to him, two scientists follow and struggle with the Creature before mortally wounding him. He sinks into the depths of the ocean waters and disappears. The Creature was played by Ben Chapman on land scenes and Ricou Browning in underwater scenes.
