It's a hard ticket between Robert Eggers' Nosferatu and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. Which one will you watch? Let's decide!

As we continue to capitalize on the upcoming Academy Awards, we're taking an opportunity to compare two decorated, contemporary updates on classic Gothic horror tales.
