Last night I watched House of Wax (1953) and greatly enjoyed Vincent Price
Tonight is Frankenstein (1931)
Give me more recommendations
I know there's a lot of schlock in the 1950s, trying to stay away from too much camp

I went my most of my life not realizing how tall Vincent Price was. Always figured he was average, around 6'.
He and Christopher Lee were both 6'4".

Watch Freaks (1932) and prepare to have your mind blown (especially in the 3rd act).

Night of the Demon
quote:
Though not a significant commercial success on its initial release in 1957, Night of the Demon has been highly acclaimed by critics and filmmakers in retrospect, and is considered one of the greatest horror films of all time. At the film review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 100%

Frankenstein was GREAT.
House of Wax had some little plotholes and ‘cheese’ I had to forgive. Zero in this.
Based on everything I’ve ever seen I just assumed the doctor would be a schlocky mad scientist caricature. Not at all. Realistic and sympathetic.
The movie completely holds up. I got into it just like any good modern movie. Atmosphere was great, pacing was great.
19 freaking 31. Incredible

"Island of Lost Souls" (1933) is the one I always think about, when I ponder an oldie with a real sense of dread and unease.

The Wolf Man" with Lon Chaney Jr. as the star, Claude Rains as his dad, Bela Lugosi as Bela the gypsy wolf man and Maria Ouspenskaya as his Gypsy mother.
"The Day the Earth Stood Still" with Michael Rennie as the alien Klaatu, Patricia Neal as Helen Bensen, Sam Jaffe as the Professor, Billy Gray as Neal's son Bobby.
"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" the original version with Kevin McCarthy,
Carolyn Jones, Dana Winter, etc.
Edited to add: "Them" about giant ants that mutated by atomic fallout in the desert and they start wreaking havoc on towns.

The director of Casablanca, Michael Curtiz, made Mystery of the Wax Museum in 1933. It's pretty cool.
I Walked with a Zombie (1943) is an all-timer.

Bride of Frankenstein is even better so definitely see that one. I like Invisible Man a lot too.
I really like the Val Lewton films. Cat People should make your list. The Seventh Victim and The Body Snatcher too along with the already suggested I Walked With a Zombie.

lot of great recommendations ITT
here’s one more:

an all time fave from 1934, with Lugosi as the “good” guy for a change - Karloff embodies a quiet, low-key but sadistically evil villain, the sets are amazing, and the soundtrack filled with atmospheric touches from classical composers (the Allegretto from Beethoven’s 7th Symphony is particularly well utilized)

The original Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1956, is a good movie.

So glad to see this one posted. I was going to post it as well.
Love this movie, and it's great on the re-watches as well.

How has no one said Nosferatu? Are we not including silent films?
