Dracula (1931) or Frankenstein (1931)?


Of these two movies which one you like better?

I much prefer Dracula as it was creepier and more intense of the two, I thought the first half of Frankenstein was a bit dull but the second half kicks into high gear.

I give "Dracula" a 9/10 and "Frankenstein" a 7/10

I prefer Frankenstein. It has a score, the monster has aspects of being a victim, and the windmill fire is amazing.

Personally, I love them both, but I prefer Frankenstein by a slight edge for the reasons BuckleBilly pointed out above. James Whales's directing and Colin Clive's acting are also top-notch.

For me Dracula was always more interesting than Frankenstein.
