Now...THIS movie "classic" I don't get.  I was expecting to be mesmerized as I was with 1931's DRACULA, but this film was just so INCREDIBLY corny and stupid.  There is no arching storyline and the monster is nothing but a bumbling child.  How people differentiate this film from Ed Wood-stylecamp is beyond me.  When the spoof on this film, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN,actually improves on the SERIOUS part of the Frankenstein myth...then you know you failed.  Ugh.  I just don't get why this film is praised so highly.
