Never was a big monster person myself (my Brother's all over them, though). Of course, I still really need to get around to seeing that particular film (keep putting it off).

That was a ripoff of Godzilla. *frowns angerly*

I believe the idea of it was supposed to be a traditional giant monster movie from the perspective of someone on the ground. So bits of an homage at best, otherwise... it's not like Godzilla's the only giant monster in town ;)

monsters inc! :D lol. well... you asked right? I liked that movie ^^

Who doesn't like that movie? :P

Me. I know. I'm a whiny little bitch.

Robot Monster from the 1953 thriller with the same name. Can't get any more classic then a big ape with a space helmet on.

What a strange place the movie world used to be.

I'd go with Xenomorphs from Alien-movies.
There are lot of reasons for my choice, but main reason is behind the word "Alien". Back then when I wasn't a English-speaking person, everytime people spoke about Alien/s, we always knew that we were talking of the Ridley Scott's Alien-movie Xenomorphs. Eventually when we learned the true meaning of "alien", most of us still had trouble brushing the image of Xenomorps away from our mind. This was because everytime when we spoke about "aliens", we always said that they were humanoids or simply "creatures from outer space".
Another thing what made the whole Xenomorph-species so scary, was simply the fact that we humans are basically defentless against these creatures. Worst thing is that it's totally our fault. But that's another story.

I think Aliens are still the most well done horror/sci-fi cretures I've ever seen so far. mainly because they actually look and act naturally most the times (especially during first two movies).

...And of course they did have a huge impact on my alertness-senses because I saw the first three movies when I ten years old. Oh the irony when my father finally let me watch me some awesome movies, I had to see the scariest/most stimulating-movies. Even though he had totally had denied my from watching any rougher movies a year before.
That one particular "Facehugger from the first seconds of Alien 3 still bugs my mind, since they basically show you that there's no escape from them (though, how on earth they missed the egg, is beyond my mind. I guess the reason is behind "because the plot says so"-rule).

---

I guess the first Evil Dead deserves a honorable mention too. While basicaly the monster is just evil "Aura" that turns weak minded humans into killing machines, that's still scary as heck. Scariest thing of course is, that the movies how cruel and destructive we people can become (this also goes for "Scanners"-trilogy which I haven't unfortunately seen yet).

Good call with those ones, they're among the most inhuman and pure-death monsters out there. Practically every aspect of their design is deadly, from facehugger-led birth to acid exploding death. In regards to the third one (a film I actually like), my general theory is that the egg was sent out by the Queen as a last-ditch effort (the sac's gone, but she can still pop a few more out. This is a species that prides itself in ultimate survival, after all). Ripley and co, meanwhile, were just too battered and tired to notice.

The Deadites are an interesting example, as are all demons. They have no real 'rules' to follow, as in there doesn't seem to be any clear way to kill them or how they infect someone. They just do, and they are scary because of it.

I've only seen the first Scanners, though it seems like that would be the best one.

Torgo. Definitely Torgo. :p *YOU know what I mean XD*

Oh, and Tor Johnson, too. ;)

Truly creatures that defy comprehension and inspire terror wherever they go. Especially when they deliver pizzas.

Whose Amon Goeth?

Bad Nazi dude (though aren't they all?) from Schindler's List.

Oh

Mine is the Blob. I only started likeing it this year. More so than usuall any way.
