thought they made a lot of horror films, only 8 of the Universal monsters are truly iconic;

Phantom of the Opera- Chaney
Dracula - Lugosi
Frankenstein Monster - Karloff
Mummy - Karloff again
Invisible Man - Rain
Bride of Frankenstein - Lancaster
Wolf Man - Chaney Jr.
The Creature from the Black Lagoon - Chapman/ Browning

there all monsters in there way but who is the most evil. Well to me i think it has to be Dracula. yes there is something tragic bout him, just as there is something tragic about all Vampries but that aside Dracula is truly evil. He kills for gain. he goes to london casue he wants more victims. hes not crazy like the invsible man, or an animal like the Creature or the Wolfman. or misunderstood like Frankestien or his bride. the Mummy and the phantom kill for selfish gain but they don't have the intensity like Dracula. what do u think.

Definitely Dracula. Disregard that horrible 1992 film that gives the Count a tragic backstory in order to make him more sympathetic.

Absolutely. Most if not all of the rest are victims of science, magic or circumstances and did not ask for what happened. Imhotep and Dracula are the only two to my thinking that acted deliberately.

Dracula and Imhotep are definitely the most evil. Griffith was violently insane due to the side effects of his invisibility potion.

Quasimodo is not a monster. He is deformed, but is a nice guy.

None of the "monsters" compares with the "Invisible Man". As the trivia pg. states he kills four( perhaps a fifth) and derails a train, possibly killing 100+. Crazy? Yes!

The invisible man is like the Joker.
He went insane due to some chemicals.
Sometimes he plays mischievous pranks and sometimes he kills people.

He is not a monster

This isn't the most evil one but one of the biggest jerks in a Universal Monsters movie is Dr. Niemon in House of Frankenstein. He betrays Dracula by not getting his coffin to him in time. He betrays Daniel by not fulfilling his promise to make him a normal man. Then he betrays Larry by refusing to cure him as he promised.
