For me it has to be Rear Window, an old hitchcock movie where the monster is a murderer - the movie is basically shot in one room. Excellent, but I would imagine abit boring for todays audience.

Boring for the moronic. Anyone with an ounce of brain would recognise the sheer brilliance of a film like Rear Window.

The killer's not exactly a monster though. There are worse killers out there. If you label Thorwald as a monster, then compared to a serial killer, he's a pretty tame one.

favourites would be dracula, frankenstein, bride of frankenstein and wolf-man. hard to pick a fav. out of them four. also Invisible man was also enjoyable.

Love the classic Universal horrors. For me the best of them were the ones made by James Whale: Frankenstein, Bride Of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man and the often overlooked The Old Dark House.
Whale brought a sense of style and wit to his films, which make them stand out.
The other one which really stands out to me is The Mummy, which creates a sense of genuine unease.
Rear Window certainly doesn't qualify as an example of the Universal Horror Film, if for no other reason than it was made at Paramount.
