^ I was about to list FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED myself. Cushing rapes some hapless girl! Cushing plays a real cold-hearted Doctor in the Hammer Frankenstein series- and does it excellent.

15. FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED (1969)
16. I know this is going to sound stupid- I mean really stupid- but FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND (1981).
This is one of the most mind boogling, bubbling carcass of an excuse for a movie I have ever seen.
It stars John Carradine as a ghost, mumbling some nonsense everyonce in a while, and the star of the WILD WORLD OF BATWOMEN (1966) and TEENAGE ZOMIES (1959)- Katherine Victor! Directed by the same guy who did her other movies- Jerry Warren! It looks like it could have been made in 1961.
I love it, of course.

3. FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED and yeah! Ain't Victor a Pricktor? PETER CUSHING is god-like as a TURD.

^ I HIGHLY recommend SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939) It was the 3rd and last time Karloff played the Monster.
And Lugosi as Ygor steals the show.

Please note my first film. SON OF FRANKENSTEIN is my favorite. BELA steals the show damned straight.

^^^^ This 100% ^^^^

I appreciate the diversity of titles mentioned throughout - beyond the standard Universals, Hammers, and mainstream remakes. A lot of these would top my list if I tried to make one: ROCKY HORROR (which I never considered a "Frankenstein" movie but of course, sure), FRANKENHOOKER... hey, why not BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR?

W/ all due respect to Bela, Elsa, Boris, Peter, et al - my favorite movie that actually features someone named "Frankenstein" has to be FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN aka ANDY WARHOL'S... "To know death, Otto, you have to f**k life... in the gall bladder!" What a crazy flick. Udo Keir is one of a kind, naturally, but Arno Juerging... now there was a true freak of nature. Great gore and some very lovely ladies... though no one who matches the high standard of Elsa Lanchester or Patricia Quinn, naturally!

I suppose you could also name FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACEMONSTER (1965) -No Frankenstein, but it does have a half human cyborg thingy, or ASSIGMENT TERROR (1969), the EROTIC RITES OF FRANKENSTEIN (1973), DRACULA-PRISONER OF FRANKENSTEIN (1972), FRANKENSTEIN '80 (1972), LADY FRANKENSTEIN (1971), FRANKENSTEIN'S CASTLE OF FREAKS (1974) etc. Those I mentioned are pretty sh!t, but fun!

The Space Monster! (not Frankenstein).

Thanks for mentioning the FrancoNsteins, RC!

Also should give a shout-out to FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND. That's a horrible film that I....... enjoyed! And I really love that gif, too.

Back tho the Frankenstein's-

17. HOUSE OF DRACULA (1945) Again Glenn Strange, Lon Chaney Jr., and John Carradine return as the monsters, with Onswald Stevens in a Jekyll and Hyde turn as the Mad Doctor! Lotsa fun.
18. GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (1942) Chaney plays the Monster.
19. FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER (1965) So stupid. I love it.
20. FRANKENWEENIE (2012) Great tribute to the old 30's and 40's horror films.
