The Universal Monsters, specifically Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, and the Mummy, have been part of the cultural fabric for nearly a century. And they are specifically ingrained in the iconography of Halloween . But these legendary monsters who once terrified millions of moviegoers have been tamed and kiddified over the decades. Some versions are downright adorable. But of these cute monsters, which ones are the best? We rank the most iconic versions of G-rated iterations of the Universal Monsters in popular culture.
Note: We only count characters designed to be riffs on the classic monsters from the get-go. So no Dracula as Mickey Mouse, or Bart Simpson as Frankenstein, or even the official Care Bears x Universal Monsters . Those are just famous cartoon characters in Halloween
