Bride of Frankenstein, 1935....with the 1941 The Wolf Man, a very close second.
In order to understand the full impact of Bride of Frankenstein, you must view the 1931 Frankenstein first. This will help with the continuity of the story....then to complete the trilogy of Boris Karloff as the monster, one needs to see 1939 Son of Frankenstein.
The Wolf Man (1941) is the tragic tale of an 'everyman' being in the wrong place at the wrong time, who in his attempt to rescue a damsel in dire straits, suffers the fate of becoming a lycanthrope. Lon Chaney Jr.'s performance as Lawrence Talbot, became his signature role, and rightfully so, along with his role as Lenny Small in the 1940 Of Mice and Men, with Burgess Meredith.

@Cantsayno The exchange between Mary, Percy, and Byron was edited. Mary has more to say about her story. You can read it in the original script.
I am fascinated that James Whale chose to have both Mary and the Bride played by the same actor. I often wonder what audiences of the day thought...how many recognised Elsa Lanchester in both roles...and how many didn't.
In any case, it is my favorite movie ever.
I just wish a full original print could be found, as it was about 90 minutes, where as the film we have come to love so much is 75 minutes in length.

The Ring. it's a good old fashioned horror that doesn't need too much body horror and gore so i lose my dinner watching it.

I don't like the genre as a whole. If I'm gonna shit myself I think i should be as generously remunerated as those "models" who fly out to Dubai.
That being said, i think if youve seen Scream you're caught up on all American Horrot as a deconstructed art form that there ever has been or might ever be. So that's my pick. One and done. Fuck what you SAW.
