what's the greatest movie monster of all time?

Tokyo Beware!

For me, it's the monster from Colverfield.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverfield_%28creature%29   I love the conept of a monster on a rapage not because it's evil, but because it's scared, and seeing it from a regular Joe's point of view make it all themore terrifying.

i know this isn't a movie monster but the necromorphs from deadspace are creepy but not by themselves the setting and way the game looks makes them shit scary.

Not a movie, but ranks amoungst the best monsters.

Man without a face from 'Sapphire and Steel Adventure 4'

In this climatic scene Sapphire and Steel have discovered that the missing person they have looking has been trapped inside a photograph by a creature that has escaped the corridor of time. The creature has recovered the photograph from them...

If you want to stick religiously to movies then how about the monster from Morpheus's mind in The Forbidden Planet.

Hhhm, I would have to say my top 5 great movie monsters are:

#1.) The Alien from "Alien" - and all of it's spawnings - the Alien Queen, the Alien Runner, the Face Huggers, the Chest Bursters, the Predalien from AvP: Requiem (especially when it's around pregnant women, lol), etc. The Alien just wins, hands down.

#2.) The Predator, from the movie of the same name.

#3.) Unicron, from the animated "The Transformers" movie.

#4.) The green orb from "Heavy Metal".

#5.) The Lord of Darkness, from the movie "Legend" - Tim Curry ftw.

 

And the runner up is:

OMFG... the "Fluke Monster" from that one old ass episode of "The X-Files". I know it's not from a movie, but... damn... sometimes I still get creeped out and nervous when I go to take a shit because of that episode!

Honorable Mentions:

#1.) The Rancor, from "Return of the Jedi"

#2.) The Balrog from "The Fellowship of the Ring".

#3.) The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from "Ghostbusters".

The Spiders from Arachnophobia.
Seriously. I think that movie is the sole reason I hate spiders so much.

:sick:

Reply #116 Top

Why don't they just step on the spiders?  The sound effects would be much simpler to mach than by stepping on mustard packets and chips. 

I hated that movie though, scared the crap out of me, and made me even more arachnaphobic than I already was.

I agree with almost all of the above. Just wondering if anyone remembers "5 Million Years to Earth" based on the

Quartermass character and the story "Quatermass and the Pit". Watched it when I was 6 Years old. Nightmares for a

month!

Greatest movie monster would have to be Jason Vorhees. he can't be stopped, he can't be killed. Hell, they killed him twice and he came back from the dead to kill some more.

...the CGI Godzilla from that awful Hollywood movie just doesn't deserve to be called Godzilla....

Too true. I quote Mittermeier in calling that Godzilla 'Schwäbische Spätzlesechse'. The real Godzilla, however, is tied with the first Alien for my monster of all time.
End of pndrev's quote

Actually, I remember reading in an interview with one of the creators of the original Godzilla that not only was the Hollywood CGI version "unanimously approved" by the comittee that regulates Godzilla merchandise, but that the CGI version was more or less the Godzilla they wanted to do back in the fifties but had to settle for a guy in a rubber dinosaur suit.

No contest.

PS. Watching Aliens when you're three is a bad idea.

No one has mentioned the "Dogs" from Ghostbusters, either.  Maybe is was just me but I didn't like the part where she was sitting in the chair and they drug her in the bathroom and molestered her.  It creeped me out for a few weeks because the bathroom in my room was directly across from the chair I sat in to watch TV.  Of course, I was also around 8 years old...I didn't know it was a comedy at the time.
