Still amazes me to this day.

Slowly walked up to you, took a crapload of dmg, and dished out a lot too. I also hated encountering him lol.

Beowulf:

 

[peppermints]

The Descent.

I usually hate horror movies like this, but the creature design really pulled me in on this movie.

 

[echoshifting]

Thread needs more classic animated monsters

Chernabog demands it

 

[JdFoX187]

Almost forgot this hypothalamus-munchin' dude

Such an underrated movie, and creature was fucking freaky.

 

[Forsaken82]

Not sure, maybe this doesn't count, but the transformation that Tetsuo goes under in Akira is pretty fucking crazy...

In games:
- Lavos from Chrono Trigger. Not so much from how it looks, but from its portrayal built up over the course of the game. It was responsible for the destruction of

three different civilizations

.
- Gaping Dragon and Leechmonger from the Souls games.

I'm breaking the rules and posting a mythological figure - The Headless Horseman. Theres something very haunting about this monster. One of the first American legends.

 

[echoshifting]

Headless = nonhuman, headless horseman is a legitimate selection and a good pick, I say! Psychologically speaking, it plays some of the same tricks xenomorphs do.

 

[G-Fex]

you guys suck for not mentioning this

 

[CorvoSol]

These guys were fairly creepy

MAN I HAD FORGOTTEN THESE.

Well, no more sleeping for me!

 

[Malvolio]

Like hell this thread is going any longer without the Balrog being mentioned.

This is what immediately sprang to mind for me. Such an amazing design and really got me to sit up and take notice. It was so perfectly played after the lake monster and cave troll scene. You think you've seen the worst that Moria has to offer when suddenly that bad ass mofo makes his appearance.

I hated those guys, especially when they would run straight at you and surprise you

The Dead Space twitchers were also scary

 

[The Technomancer]

The Thing.

Winnar. Such fantastic art direction and the animatronics still hold up really well.

 

[forgeforsaken]

The Ymir. His design was sort of recycled into the Kraken later

Also, I did rather like the monster from The Host

 

[Karish]

 

[Sagitario]

That was... so depressing

The really were.

Too bad this is the only screen time this thing got.

Tarman!

 

[Jack Scofield]

The Descent.

I usually hate horror movies like this, but the creature design really pulled me in on this movie.

I watched this movie this past weekend. Strange, I don't recall the creatures looking like they do in this picture. They were slimier and didn't look like some guy in covered in ash and mascara. They looked like this.

Strange that the monster design fluctuates within the same movie.

Personally, I'd go with Sauron in his Dark Lord visage, specifically the more ruined and charred depiction of him in the extended ROTK scene with the Palantir.

It's a shame that the audience never really gets a decent look at Sauron in what would be the third body he wrought for himself.

Maybe one pic is from the sequel?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Xenomorphs.

"Xeno-what?"

 

[BeesEight]

No SMT Mara mention? For shame.

Movie wise, I have to second just about anything in del Toro's movies.

Exactly. Between Darkness and Rucklebone, Legend had it all.

Nice choice! Movie was pretty decent, book is great.

 

[Sylver]

Niña Medeiros from [REC]

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

A seriously cool villain. It sucked how much he was underutilized in the third movie.

I prefer the Mouth of Sauron

Since most the famous ones have been posted, I'll go with the creatures from Mimic:

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Darth Pinche]

The Mark 13 robot from the film Hardware. Creepy as fuck and it kills you by injecting you with hallucinogens.

 

[NoirVisage]

The Thing.

I need to see what would happen if an Alien impregnated The Thing.

 

[Muffdraul]

Grendel from the 2007 version of Beowulf bears a very, very uncanny resemblance to a guy I used to have recurring nightmares about when I was a little kid. I always had the same dream that he came into our house and held me and my family prisoner in a back room, and then went to sleep on the couch in our living room. I would somehow get out of the back room and sneak up on him and try to kill him in his sleep by hitting him in the head with a baseball bat or something... but all I'd do was wake him up, extremely pissed off. He'd grab me and I'd wake up.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

This fucker scared me as a kid

I was only saying exactly the same thing to some friends last week. I loved that film, but used to stop watching when he appeared.

Xenomorphs can't impregnate The Thing.

Wow, he didn't even cross my mind, one of my favorites.

What movie was this?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

What movie was this?

From an episode of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. I don't remember what it was called, 'Hush'?

 

[echoshifting]

Correct.

A shame much of it is indecipherable if you haven't already been watching. It's such an excellent standalone piece...easily in my top five television eps.
