Creepiest movie monsters?

[Yuki-Anne]

What monsters do you find the creepiest in movies? Vampires? Parasites? Spiders? Mutants? Megan Fox?

Personally, I find zombies the creepiest.

Discuss.

[Atria35]

It depends on how they're portrayed- I've found vampires to be pretty creepy... in certain movies. In others, they're totally cheezy.

I don't actually find monsters to be creepy- but people who torture creep me out like nothing else! There's something about people who can willingly (and gruesomely) inflict pain and injury on others that horrifies me to no end.

[wildpurplechild]

I'm with atria. Physcopaths are the creepiest monsters.

A witcher's steels sword is for monsters who walk on two legs.

Well, just because of my personality, I creep out rather easily, but of the few movies that have creepy "monsters" in them, I'd say the creepiest was from Signs. You don't see the aliens much, but when they are on screen...*shudder* And that sound they made...there was a vent in one of the places I've lived in that did that weird rattling sound sometimes and it used to freak me out if I was alone at night...But then, this is from the girl who wouldn't watch Jurassic Park twice. Not because I thought it was a terrible movie, but because that scene with the raptors chasing the kids around the kitchen nearly turned my hair white...

...I'm such a wimp. XD

[Radical Dreamer]

Definitely Megan Fox. Shudder.

XDD

But really, I don't think the creepiness lies so much in what the monster is as much as how it's portrayed. The monster in Alien isn't all that scary, but the suspenseful feeling in all of its scenes makes it seem very creepy and dangerous. Also, if the monster is first introduced as kind-but-creepy and then reveals itself to be murderous (think Psycho), that's definitely very creepy. XD Also, I think there's an element of how much you know about the monster. If you don't know what it looks like, where it is, or what it can do to you, then it's a lot scarier than if it's a rotting zombie who will eat your brains if it can catch up with you. XD

Oh, did someone say movie monsters?

Gehara and Hedorah are pretty creepy monsters. Reasons are pretty obvious by their pictures but to add icing on the cake, Hedorah is a smog monster that was made from human pollution and fed upon it and was also one of Godzilla's most challenging foes from the Showa era.

Creepiest movie monster though? Definitely DESTOROYAAAAH.



He was made from the very thing that killed the first Godzilla, he's a bunch of organisms that mutated into one and can split back into his smaller forms, oh and did I mention he has a micro-oxygen ray that can vaporize you? He's also Godzilla's greatest foe and was only defeated because Godzilla had help from the military as the only way to truly get rid of him was to freeze him to death. Plus he looks like a demonic creature.

YEAH I WISH THIS THREAD WAS A KAIJU THREAD, O WELL.

[Yuki-Anne]

crimson, I love that you were all about Godzilla. That takes me back to the good old days...

I think zombies are creepy not necessarily with every single movie made about them, I mean, they're over done and gory, but in movies like I Am Legend, they creep me out like none other because they're actually fast. Plus the idea of all the other people, everyone I know and love, turning into something brainless and bloodthirsty is fully terrifying to me.

[Atria35]

I can totally get that! Even though [spoiler]by the end of I Am Legend we were shown that they weren't entirely brainless and bloodthirsty- too bad that wasn't really fully explored in that movie.[/spoiler]

[Yuki-Anne]

Atria, that is very true. But on general principle, it's still quite creepy to me.

[steenajack]

People! I give you the creepiest monster EVER!

lol jk jk. I kid. (no offense to Twilight fans. XD!)



Um, I've never seen this movie (and NEVER will mind you; simply looking at the covers gave me nightmares about this guy), but Chucky is pretty creepy to me. C'mon, a baby doll with an ax? That's pretty creepy enough to be demonic. I still don't understand why people subject themselves to seeing such a creepy series. >.<!

Oh, and Wyntre, you are not alone. I get spooked quite easily too, which is why part of a reason why I dislike watching certain movies in the dark. DX! lol XD! Those aliens from Signs are pretty creepy lookin'.

[steenajack]

I would also like to add that I find giant spiders and giant bugs very creepy...emphasis on the spiders. I can hardly stomach that one scene in Lord of the Rings...yet, I can't quite pull my eyes off the screen due to my instincts of, "What's GOING TO HAPPEN!?!?!?" Then there was the new version of King Kong....that made me do this: DX!!!!!!!!

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Japanese ghost children/demons and serial killers - those are the monsters which scare me. Also, Pennywise the Clown (from King's IT), ventriloquist dummies and 'Alien' chest-bursters and face-huggers.

[Atria35]

... Ventriloquist's dummies. I have totally forgotten about those. Those are pretty darn freaky.

[rocklobster]

1. Pennywise--the book version says it's a shape-shifter. But Tim Curry does a great job in what I think is his best role. Mostly because he's not chewing the scenery for once.
2. All the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, but especially the Velociraptors. Monsters that are extremely intelligent? EEP!
3. The thing in Cloverfield. We didn't see much of it, but it didn't matter because the whole movie felt exactly like it would if you were in the middle of a Godzilla battle. JJ Abrahms caught the fear of that well.
4. The Alien Xenomorph. Especially the Chestburster
5. The Predator

[GrubbTheFragger]

I gotta say that i am in agreement with many of you. Man is usally the creepiest because of the realness

[Htom Sirveaux]

Sometimes in a good suspense/ psych horror film, it's the location itself that seems to be the real antagonist. Like Hill House in The Haunting (1963 original) and the Danvers State Mental Hospital in Session 9.

Also, if Megan Fox is a monster, then I'd quite like to have her skulking around in my closet. Or Elisha Cuthbert. Yowza.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Elisha Cuthbert, yes. Megan Fox, no.

You're right. The State Mental Hospital in Session 9 is ridiculously creepy.

*facepalm* Thank you.....thank you for that XD

[bigsleepj]

The creatures from John Carpenter's The Thing gets my vote.

I'm with you, pal! I think the major reason I freaked out when I watched Signs was because you barely get to see the aliens at all until the very end. When they're banging on the door, trying to get in, or when you just see a leg going through the corn field...*shudder* Gave me nightmares for a week XD

But I also find the obligatory dead girl with a white dress and long dark hair over her face very creepy. Especially in The Grudge, with that chilling death-rattle.

[rocklobster]

The one in The Ring was even creepier.

[Warrior 4 Jesus]

Oh, gosh the scene in the well (in The Ring remake) scared the crap out of me, as did the scene where the girl creeps out of the TV. Yes, and The Grudge (original) scene with the crackling scream from the girl descending the stairs. *shivers*

[the_wolfs_howl]

Maybe it's just because I saw The Grudge first, but I found the girl in that one like...twice as creepy. I think it was the death-rattle that did it for me, and the way she can just open her eyes so wide. (The cover of the movie still freaks me out if I look at it too long.) I was watching it at my grandparents' house, and they have this metal folding chair that creaks when you sit in it. My brother sat down in it shortly after we finished watching (at like 11 p.m. DX), and it sounded exactly like the death rattle! I must have jumped clean out of my skin....

But yeah, when the girl comes out of the TV in The Ring...that was pretty freaky.
