Ghoulies and ghosties and long legged beasties

Sort by: Showing 20 items
Decade: Rating: List Type:
Pennywise the Dancing Clown

NO, there is no monster in Shawshank Redemption and Pennywise is not in Shawshank. I just can't find a way for Listal to acknowledge that Stephen King's IT is a MOVIE and not a TV show. (Yes, I am aware it first appeared as a mini-series)



Why?

1. He is a CHILD EATING CLOWN!
2. Appears in random sewers, drains, toilets, moving photographs, closets, and small wooded areas.
3. Can transform into exactly what a child fears the most.
4. Anythings that ends up as a giant egg laying sewer spider gets number one in my book.

The Pale Man



Why?

1. He is another child eater.
2. He shoves his eyeballs into his hands to see.
3. He can go for centuries without moving, and is only activated by a child's temptation.
4. He lives right below you, just a magic chalk drawing away from consuming your entrails...that's right.

The Angry Princess



Why?
1. Because she is a selfish, angry undead diva. Even the live divas are scary!

2. She can be right behind you, only inches away...close anough to bleed on you, and you wouldn't even notice.

3. She's covered in self inflicted slash marks and carrying a knife. One only need apply logic as to what happens next.

The Thing



Why?

1. It turns any living thing it comes in contact with into a giant monsters made of blood, guts, and pieces of your own corpse.

2. It travels undetected in the bloodstream. You may not even know you have it.

3. Even testing for the presence of the alien/monster causes a person's blood to jump at you and attack.

4. If you've ever seen a chest open up and bite a doctor;s hands of, or a head sprout spiderlegs and scurry off, you wouldn't be asking why.

Freddy Krueger



I wasn't going to put him up originally. His corny jokes as he kills almost got him eliminated, but he's here...and here's:

Why?

1. Because he can travel in dreams and get you while you are at your most defenseless.

2. Because sooner or later, you have to sleep so csooner or later, he will get everyone he sets his sights on.

3. Because there is the added creep factor that he was once a child molester, and now hunts young adults.

Critters (1986)
The Critters



Why?

1. Because they are giant hairballs, easy to walk right past and dismiss, until they get you from behind.

2. Because they breed like little toothed sadistic rabbits and infest a place like termites...but they don't eat wood.

3. Because of that crazy little paralysis spike that they can shoot at anyone who tries to run away.

4. I've always been creeped out about something that can roll after you and then stop and open a mouth that is half the size of its body.

Silent Hill (2006)
Pyramid Head



Why?

1. Because of the air raid siren that always seems to preceed his arrival. It's Pavlov's conditioned terror to a letter!

2. He rips a girl right out of her skin in one fell swoop!

3. Do you see the size of the weapon that he's carrying?

4. He lives in a world that switches to horror dimension every hour or so, and he's accompanied by nurse zombies and dogs without skin...

Alien (1979)
The Alien



Why?

1. There are thousands of them and in spite of their size, they seem to be able to get everywhere.

2. Their larva form is a giant white camel spider-like form that wraps around a human head, shoves a tube down the esophagus, and lays eggs in the stomach.

3. Just in case that's not enough, the pupa form is a little worm with teeth that eats its way out of it's human host through the abdomen.

4. A slimey mouth inside a slimey mouth.

5. They are hard enough to kill as it is, but add the fact that if you do any damage, its blood is acid as well.

The Blob



Why?

1. Because everyone is imagining the Blob toy that you used to play with a a kid turning malevolent and eating you.

2. Because it cannot be shot, stabbed, burned, punched or fought off. Its just a giant mound of goo.

3. Because it is a giant mound of ACIDIC goo that can get anywhere.

The Plane Gremlin



Why?

1. Because I am afraid of anything that can hold onto a plane wing at 34,000 feet and 500 to 600 miles an hour inspires fear in my book.

2. Because you're the only one who can see it, and YOU seem to be the only one it's interested in.

3. Because its claws can rip open plane metal and rip out engines in midflight.

Dreamcatcher (2003)
Toothed worms



Why?

1. They go in a semi harmless little parasite, eat away at your insides for a while and then come out...of your ass...a quick ugly thin with about a million teeth.

2. They don't stop growing when they come out. they don't stop eating either.

3. There is just something that disgusts me about parasites in the water supply...

4. Did I mention that they eat their way out of your ass yet?

The Mist (2007)
Anything in the mist



Why?

1. You will never see them coming.

2. Half the time, you won't even know what it is as it's eating you.

3. There are some skyscraper sized monsters out there in that mist!

4. The ones that aren't gargantuan can still gett in and suck you dry, wrap you up and keep you for a late snack, or lay eggs inside of your brain/stomach...

The brain bug



Why?

1. Giant blubbery gluttonous insect intent on killing humans.

2. It sucks out your brain!!! Are we beginning to sense an anti-parasite theme here?

3. It can suck info along with brain material, and then strategize with the billions of other bugs to commit futher genocide.

4. Look at it. That thing looks like a giant vagina with teeth and eyes. Appearance alone should scare any male, right?

The Devil



Why?

1. He is Satan...the lord of darkness...Beelzebub...the prince of evil. You get teh picture.

2. He is Tim Curry, which amazingly ranks right up there with Satan after his other role won number one on this list.

3. He has hoards of little ghoulies at his command to go around killing beautiful childhood icons and fantasies (i.e. unicorns).
sleepless101's rating:
Nosferatu



Why?

1. He creeps around in the dark killing people, sucking their blood, and converting others to vampires.

2. Those long knotted clawed fingers.

3. He's the only bald, bat eared vampire with his fangs right in front instead of where his incisors are. Adds to the creepy factor more than any other vamp.

4. Everything's scarier in black and white.

The Kraken



Why?

1. Because of the legend behind it, and growing up on poems that warned us all that "the kraken has awakened at the bottom of the seas."

2. Because it is a destroyer straight out of mythology of not just armies, but entire cities, countries, and coastlines.

3. Because it is forged from the flesh of the lord of the Underworld. That's enough for me.

4. Mouth the size of a small mountain and once again layered in teeth.

Predator (1987)
The Predator



Why?

1. He's a human hunter. Not just your normal, everyday predator, but a calculating, patient hunter of man.

2. Infinitely better hunting tools than a Swiss Army knife and a Smith and Wesson.

3. Infinitely better camoflauge and infrared vision.

4. The thing can open two sets of mouths when it's angry...and one set has got horns around it!

Puppet Master (1989)
Jester, Blade, Pinhead, Tunneler, Leech Woman





Why?

1. These guys, not Chuckie, were responsible for my continuing fear of dolls in a room where I sleep.

2. They are tiny, silent, wooden dealers of death--a child's toy gone psycho.

3. Big guys with abnormally small heads have always creeped me out.

4. The woman actually regurgitates LEECHES to kill people!!!!

Beowulf (2007)
Grendel



Why?

1. Another almost mythical being, and one of the first ever monsters in spoken and written English history.

2. The big guy has a serious anger managment problem, hunger issues, and the ability to rip humans apart in a matter of seconds.

3. Comes accompanied by an even worse mother and a dragon for a pet.

4. Needs an epic hero to slay him, and...let's face it...Beowulf died a while ago.
sleepless101's rating:
The Ring Wraiths, The Mouth of Sauron, Shelob, the Balrog...





Why?

1. Nine immortal beings all dressed like reapers, riding bloody horses or long necked dragons, and singularly obsessed with a ring that you just happen to have. Sounds like a party.

2. A giant spider that eats orcs for breakfast, and spews paralyzing venom so that she can eat you later. Another party!

3. A creature from the depths of the world that is older and more powerful than any of the conflict that Sauron could ever cause, is made of fire and breaths it just for good measure.

4. A blind dark figure with a mouth that looks like it has been recently sliced into him and a smile that chills the blood, who talks in the deepest voice you heard, and just happens to be called "the mouth" of the most evil thing in the world at the time.

This is the list of the movie creations that I would least likely enjoy waking up to...or encountering in any way, shape, or form, thank you very much. No humans, semi-humans, or zombified humans in this one, sorry. The closest we come is a ghost or two.
