Good question! I have been working to share classic monsters with my 6 yr old nephew. All I have been doing is following my path when I was a kid. He JUST told me he is in to dinosaurs, so I watched Terror of Mechagodzilla with him(my same pathway: dinos to Godzilla). Next if he likes kaiju, then we will move onto classic "real" monsters like Bigfoot and ghosts...and ultimately land on the Universals.
Nothing wins 'em over like Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein!  But your anecdote reminds of the link between the love for dinosaurs and monsters. It was that way in the 1960s, too. To this day I can't recall if the dinos led me to the monsters or vice versa.
