76. Donnie Darko (Kelly, 2001) The Last Temptation of Donnie
Cultists, this year marks the 25th anniversary of Richard Kelly’s Cult Classic, Donnie Darko.

Cultists 2024's Abigail isn't a “Remake” of Dracula’s Daughter. To call it a “Reimagining” would even feel like a stretch.

Cultists, there's only a handful of female Monsters in the Universal canon, and while The Bride gets most of the attention, Countess Zaleska should not be overlooked. Dracula's Daughter introduced the trope of the reluctant and conflicted vampire to the mythos and was pretty subversive for the Hayes Code era.

[Bonus] Son of Frankenstein (Lee, 1939) Boris and Bela's Excellent Adventure
Cultists, five years after the previous entry in the series, and three years since they'd made a horror movie at all, Universal convinced Karloff to sit in Jack Pierce’s make-up chair for one last outing as the iconic monster. Minus director James Whale’s subversive edge but with Dracula star Bela Lugosi and future Sherlock Holmes star Basil Rathbone, Son Of Frankenstein marked a turning point in the Universal Horror Series.

[Bonus] Bride of Frankenstein (Whale, 1935) The (Studio) Monster Demands a Mate (Sequel)
Cultists, a successful film demands a sequel, and The Monster Demands a Mate! Coming four years after the original, and largely considered the pinnacle of the Classic Era of Universal Horror, Bride of Frankenstein arrived in a very different cinematic landscape than its predecessor. Karloff was now a Horror Movie Star, director James Whale had considerably more creative control, and there was a newly established Hays Code to contend with.
