You've seen the old monster movies in which there is a beautiful lady who manages to tickle-the-fancy of the feature star-monster,creature,or mutated man along the story.A typical scene in many-a-horror movie of the past is the scene toward the end when the monster carries the damsel someplace,walking very slowly,away from the audience to who knows where?The lady he carries cradled is always unconscious(usually from fainting).Up to this point,everyone who has encountered the beast was killed.Yet strangely he fell in love with the damsel and wouldn't leave a scratch on her.She always gets rescued by some dashing hero before the monster can take her to his planned destination.These are the kind of scripts that helped make Horror Movies famous in many earlier-produced creature-feature flicks.Some most notable creatures included Dracula,Frankenstein,Wolf Man,Mummy,Creature,King Kong,Quasimodo,Phantom of the Opera,etc.Name your choice of the most romanticized of monsters and explain why?

i would definately have to say frankenstein......i have either seen/read all stories you mentioned, and i am most saddened by the "monster" in frankenstein. i think he should have been able to go on with his "life" with his own creation
however, i have also always been a major fan of Phantom of the Opera, partly due to the fact that i love Andrew Loyyd Webber, and its also a heartbreaking story too........ Blockbuster Online - Person Detail Information Page::

i would have to chose between King Kong and Phantom of the Opera.
"Sing my angel of music"
Oooh...you REALLY came up with a good one! You get a star! I'll give you that. But I digress...all the examples you cited were classic examples of Man V. Nature or better known as Beauty and the Beast. There seems to be an artful nuance to the old monster movies, especially the classics, as opposed to the schlock that comes out now. I have to admit that Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins did justice to 'Dracula', which is refreshing, butmuch of the garbage seen today is nothing to the timelessness of The Creature of the Black Lagoon, King Kong, the Phantom and others. Dino De Launtiis (sp) King Kong with Jeff Briges and Dawn Lange was a milestone and the very beginning to a very accomplished make-up man, Rick Baker. Heck it even happens in Godzilla and the doctor who invents the oxygen depleter does himself in because he sees one fella REALLY loves the girl...HIS girl, but he sacrifices himself and takes out the Big Guy himself, despite the fact that ToHo revives him more than certain soap stars in schmaltzy scripts. | CommuniGate | THE GREAT HOLLYWOOD NAMES:::

phantom of the opera
I love two. I love Beast from Beauty and the Beast. He was a prince with his head stuck up his butt and after years of living as an animal he learned to change his ways and Belle just fell for him. I would too. I also love Erik (aka the Phantom of the Opera) I mean sure he was obsessive with Christine but he did everything he could for her, taught her how to sing, made sure she got her time in the spot light
The elephant man. I'd do him anyday...
