I actually just watched the original Frankenstein for the first time.

We're really excited for the upcoming Frankenstein by Guillermo Del Toro.

Watched The Crazies, both the original and the remake.  I prefer the remake.  Also went back and watched Halloween 4 and 5.  Four is eh, but five is a terrible movie.

Maybe this will start off the Universal Monsterverse?

I'm also excited about del Toro's Frankenstein, but it is its own thing, based on the books only.

+1 for reading Frankenstein. A lot of books from that era are written to the audiences of that era and can feel archaic to modern readers. Frankenstein grips you, though. Mary Shelley hit it out of the park. Also, it's the first sci-fi novel ever and, if nothing else, understanding the origins of sci-fi is a really interesting use of time.

Woo hoo!  I am going to start the book tonight.  It has been on my shelf for 12 or 13 years and finally I am going to read it.  Thanks for the heads up!
