    I'd like to nominate Simon William Garth, particularly from Steve Gerber's run on "Tales of the Zombie," to this list. Zombie does good. What's not to love? #dracula

    Frankenstein's creature doesn't really fit into the list, he was wan't made bad from the beginning. He was a gentle confused being, only made angry and violent by hate and rejection, therefore turning good again is just getting back to his core values. ;)

    I love that Frank N. Stein's girlfriend is Miss Ann Thrope. The guys who worked on it knew how dumb it was. #dracula

    Where the hell is Godzilla?

    What better motivation for an atomic monster of death to turn to the side of good than "Heeeeey! That's my city! I get to stomp it, not you!". #dracula

    @dry-roasted-peanuts: Godzilla isn't a horror movie, though. I don't consider it a horror movie, anyway. #dracula

    Don't forget Monster Squad, Frankenstein ended up being a good guy. And yes Werewolf's have nards and can drive cars.

    I'd like to add the monsters in Pixar's "Monsters, Inc." to the list of monsters that turned good. #dracula

    As a kid I was a fan of that horrible show "Big wolf on campus" about the high-school or college werewolf fighting stuff. Can't remember what. I think it was on ABC family or something? #dracula

    @Ghede: I don't know about in the US, but it played on YTV in Canada. I can remember one episode where the lupine protagonist had to face off against "Muffy the Werewolf Slayer". #dracula

    I'm guessing that werewolf isn't really on the Moon, right? Because that would be silly.

    Does John Jameson (Man-Wolf) count as a werewolf? He got heroic too. #dracula

    "Werewolf by Night" was so much more marketable than the original working title, "Werewolf by Brunch". #dracula
