Scariest movie monster (and the movie it's from)

'Cropsey' from The Burning always scared the crap out of me as a kid, much more so than Myers or Jason;

The Blob

Good picks. The Blob remake was really surprising to me when I saw it a few years ago. The creature really packed a mean punch and the effects were incredibly gruesome. The film caught me off guard several times by just how ruthless it was in knocking off characters in horrible, goopy ways.

I was looking for a .gif of that very moment from Sinister. His design really rattled me for days after seeing the film.

Out of the horror stuff I recently saw, this thing out of The Conjuring probably stands out.

...and to think this was a human distorted face. Damn. I'd have a hard time sleeping with my wife again if this happened to her.

Come on guys, she was a real person! That's gotta count for some scary points.

The movie was one of those kinda silly premise yet guilty pleasure watches. Despite her CGness, she was scariest part, especially during that final confrontation. Great. Now I want to watch it again.

What creeps me out the most are nasty things that go into people's bodies against their will.

Night of the Creeps always comes to mind, specifically the scene where the guy on crutches falls in the bathroom and can do nothing as the slug-thing crawls toward his mouth. <shudder>

Not most monstruous but the top one who scared the shit out of me during my childhood was Pazuzu from The Exorcist.

This fucker gets me everytime. I think the Communion alien design is the most unsettling for me... too bad they looked fake as shit in the movie, and the film itself was kind of ass.

Never heard of Stay Alive. I'm watching it now on youtube. The depiction of "gamers" is cringeworthy, HOLY SHIT IT'S BUNK!!!
 
How could I forget this guy

T-1000.gif


T-1000 from Terminator 2
Really surprised if this guy needs an introduction

He was my first shape-shifting monster; it was hard to trust people at face value after seeing T2 for a while. Love his almost lethal elegance though; he's among the prettiest of scary monsters still.

Those stabs, man.

Also really scary how fast he is on foot.

Also funny as hell to watch parents tell kids who saw T2 "you'd better do right, or T-1000 will arrest and kill you."

I can't believe it's taken nearly 350 fucking posts before someone posted this. That scene gave me chills when I first saw Signs.

My turn:

Eddie Quist from The Howling. I still have to partially cover my eyes during this scene. The best and scariest werewolf designs and more frightening than the ones in AAWiL IMHO

The original 1950's The Fly

One of the very first "Monsters" to grace my 8 year old virgin eyes and fucked me right out of a good 2 or 3 nights of sleep. Sleeping with the lights on was mandatory after seeing this guy.

Pumpkinhead (as least as a kid anyway)
What?! Pumpkinhead doesn't bother me in the least and I hate scary movies.
Then again, that probably has something to do with the fact that as a toddler my mother told me that Pumpkinhead was my dad, since I didn't know who my dad was. So I guess I was never scared of him as a kid.

Nose how to spell and rede to

If you have never seen this film, stop what you are doing, go right now to a place where videotapes or film are sold or rented, and buy it or rent and watch it. It is delightful.

It's mostly the CG. Close up it doesn't look that great.
The only thing CG was her hair, the rest was all practical. She's played by a guy in a suit (well, makeup and a mask, anyway). Incidentally, I think it's the same guy from the REC shot posted earlier (the super-skinny one). But I think the look was great, she reminds me of a mummy, something that's been a dead husk for a hundred years. Scared the ever-loving shit out of me the first time I saw it, but now it's got a place on my Halloween watch list every year.
