Whaaaaaat? No FRANKENSTEIN UNBOUND? How can I take this list seriously?!? (jk, Unbound is wild but pretty terrible. The book it was based on is good, though.)

Ha! There are so many terribly good ones out there. I could make several lists! I haven't read the book. I might need to check it out now.

Love it when ROCKY HORROR gets some respect.

Herman Munster (AKA Fred Gwynne) also a wonderful picture book author (adored THE KING WHO RAINED growing up), and this was decades before every celeb had a picture book.

And a shout out for the very first FRANKENSTEIN film adaptation in 1910 by Thomas Edison which is now, alas, lost to time other than a few stills. <https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:512/1*PrU1Bv8611TfA2W5uluRmw.jpeg>
