Post a picture of the scariest movie monster

[NJmaverick]

here is my entry



mudman from Return of the Living Dead. Just one of the creepiest monsters, in my book

[charlie and algernon]

1. a tie between these two

cloverfield monster


Cave creatures from Descent

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. I don't watch those kinds of movies but I do have some monsters that scared me anyway

and from TV

[charlie and algernon]

4. what in the world is that second picture from?

:scared:

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. That would be the Fluke from the X-Files. And yes, it eats people.

:scared:

[charlie and algernon]

13. that's pretty disturbing

I must've missed that episode. The only episode, of ones I've seen, that really freaked me out was "Home." Those inbreds were f-ed up!

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Yeah, that was one bizarre episode.

[Orrex]

59. It made a horrible noise, too.

Very creepy!

[rrneck]

18. Yah

Jeff Goldblum's pretty scary.

[Orrex]

65. Well, he had a certain flare in that scene

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. that dude in Pan's Labrynith

[NJmaverick]

6. I considered him more Odd than scary

then again it was certainly a very weird movie. I am not sure who the target audience was. It was a bit childish for adults, but way too intense for children.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. I guess it was aimed at me. because I loved that film...

I think "scary" is as subjective as "funny", too.

what scares one may not scare another.

the movement of this guy, weirded me out. The whole scene was bizarre and surreal and otherworldly.

[Orrex]

62. That film is perfect from start to finish

One of my all-time favorites and arguably one of the best films of the past several decades.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Lethe]

87. yep it was good

it was like a weird mix of Alice in Wonderland with For Whom the Bell Tolls

[realisticphish]

51. I didn't think it was childish per se

a fairy tale, yes, but in the original tradition of the Grimms.

The best special effects I've seen in a LONG time. Almost no CGI used.

I loved it, but frankly, it was too intense for a lot of adults too, especially if they were expecting something harry potterish

[Richardo]

7. Jazz hands!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. with eyeballs !!

:D :hi:

[rcrush]

43. I get a more 'ewww' reaction to that guy than a scared one.

I see him and go 'ewwww'

[Orrex]

63. Not to mention the other monster-dude from that film

[Tuesday Afternoon]

66. totally. --

I always took the monster as a dream metaphor for this character. I need to watch that film again.

[Orrex]

67. I watched it again just last week; it's on Comcast's OnDemand HBO service

I don't know that there's a convincing way to equate any of the monsters with specific aspects of the girl's mundane existence, and for my money I don't think that it's important to do so, either.

A magnificent, gorgeous film.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

68. Yes, I realize that but the first time I watched it I was trying to figure it

out. The second time, I just watched it for the splendor of it all. I would like to watch it for a third time. "mundane" existence ?? Extraordinary times and she had front row seat to it all. I called them dream sequences because I really did not know how else to describe them. I agree with you though. A stunning film.

[Orrex]

69. Perhaps a poor choice of words

By "mundane" I meant "not magical," rather than "boriing."

I suspect that if the film were made by an American director for a chiefly American audience, it would have ended with the Faun kicking the Capitan's ass, which would have been horribly lame!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

70. the ending is tragically beautiful and poetic. sublime.

I need to watch it again

an American director would have found some way for her to live, you are right about that.

I laughed at the thought of Faun kicking The Capitan's ass :headbang:

in my heart of hearts, I wanted it to happen and you know you did too :)

so sad.

[Bossy Monkey]

10. More of a villain than a monster, but Darth Maul scared the hell out of me

I have a Mexican wrestler phobia, apparently. Of the monsters, probably the alien from Alien:

[kentauros]

11. Alien (the first one, 1979)

I know most people aren't frightened by this creature any more, thanks to all the action-only sequels. But when I saw it opening day in '79, it scared the hell out of me for years. That is, the kind of monster that shows up in your dreams time and time again :scared:





Wikipedia has a very long write-up on it, too :)

Alien (1979)

[pokerfan]

30. But the baby alien was kinda cute...

[Stuart G]

45. Interesting note on this scene...I remember hearing that the

actors did not know what was coming ..When that damn thing came out they were really scared shitless..I would vote for those things in Alien..and Aliens 2

[pokerfan]

48. Yeah, specifically they didn't know that they were about to be covered with 'blood'

The actress playing Lambert got the most of it and that was a genuine reaction.

[Orrex]

60. I've heard several times that that story is baloney

I've been googling to find it, but with no success.

The main argument against it IMO is that John Hurt had to be fitted into a prosthetic mounted to the table, so it's not as though he and the other cast members could all walk in together and get started.

I imagine it went something like this:

CARTWRIGHT: Why are you all trussed up in the table like that, John?

HURT: Um. No reason. Just act natural.


The essence of the story IIRC is that the cast didn't know exactly what was going to happen, but since Hurt was rigged up with a false chest and a bunch of blood-hoses, and the film crew was wearing smocks, they suspected that something messy was about to take place. The particulars, such as the baby alien's appearance, may not have been revealed to them in advance, but the general arc of the scene almost certainly was.

[ChickMagic]

81. Kentauros, are you Marie?

My best friend and I went to see it opening day
without knowing a thing about it except that it
was sci-fi. The entire movie we kept asking, "Why
are we still here?" I was never so scared in
my life.

[raccoon]

12. The Blair Witch! Because you never really SAW anything. nt

[Orrex]

64. I find the whole film close to unwatchable, but...

In one of the last shots, when the male character is "standing in the corner?"

That's creepy! :scared:

[dropkickpa]

14. Scary!

Paris Hilton in the Hottie and the Nottie

[proteus_lives]

16. FYI-It's "Tarman"

And he's excellent!

"More Brains!"

[NJmaverick]

17. You're right, my mistake

[Ryano42]

19. Sometimes monsters look like us...

Chigurh



Goeth



Lecter



:scared:

[NJmaverick]

20. Anthony Hopkins was amazing

I mean in the streets he would just be an unassuming middle aged man, yet in the movie he managed to be extremely frightening.

[SidneyCarton]

38. +1 The worst monster you will ever encounter is a fellow Human Being.

In comparison to Himmler, Goetz, Beria, etc... Nothing Hollywood manages to put out really compares.

[PassingFair]

74. The banality of evil.....

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

21. an oldie - nosferatu

[Ahpook]

46. Oh my

That is a creepy movie

May add:

[Ilsa]

53. Yes, I find that the monsters that are closer to looking human are scarier. nt

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

22. And, most horrible ...

[Deep13]

23. When I was six or seven, I thought this might be a documentary.

[NJmaverick]

24. It looks familar, what movie is it from?

[Deep13]

26. The War of the Worlds nt

[NJmaverick]

27. Ahhh... hence your reference to the HG Wells radio show

[Deep13]

28. No, I meant that I thought the movie I saw on UHF was a documentary.

I was in first or second grade. I had rarely seen color TV and had never seen a science fiction movie that looked so real. This was about five years before Star Wars came out. Plus the it had army guys, airplanes and atomic bombs and not science fiction-looking stuff.

So, I thought it might be real.

[NJmaverick]

29. As you know you were not the first

Sorry that was Orson Wells, not the writer HG Wells who had his broadcast mistaken for being real.

[Ryano42]

31. Speilberg's version was flawed, but

The Tripods were amazing...and their introduction was truly chilling IMHO.

[Deep13]

33. Spielberg actually was pretty faithful to the novel...

...I just could have lived without all that soap oprah crap.

[Deep13]

25. When I was growing up, this is the guy who scared the shit out of me.

[GoCubsGo]

32. Me, too.

I used to have nightmares of dying in a nuclear attack when he was running the show. That was before they came out with "Red Dawn", "The Day After" and other WW3-type movies that were so common during the Reagan Error. Seems we weren't the only ones he scared.

[Taverner]

39. Well, he IS a zombie

[KamaAina]

34. From Fahrenheit 9/11, I give you...

:scared: :scared: :scared:

edit: pic

[NJmaverick]

35. I think we have a winner

[NewJeffCT]

37. I'm surprised it took this many posts to get a pic of GWB

We must be slipping here on DU.

[Ryano42]

36. GRAPHIC...Another one I forgot about. Josh Brolin as...

W.



:scared:

[rrneck]

55. Someone asked me the other day

if I had seen that movie and I said hell no. I put up with that idiot for eight years, why should I watch a movie about him?

Was it any good? Should I check it out?

[PassingFair]

72. Like being drunk on a roller coaster....

the movie is a masterpiece.

That said, I wouldn't put myself through it again.

I came away believing that GWB pretty much had
no control over his life.

I wonder if all of our lives would look like
that if we compressed them into 2 hours....

[Mixopterus]

40. The Thing

It could take any living form, emulating the original almost perfectly.

That is pretty scary in of itself.

[azmouse]

41. The Blob scared the hell outta me when I was a kid.

It makes me laugh now but I still like the movie.

[EastTennesseeDem]

42. There is no picture of the Blair Witch

That's what makes him/her/it so terrifying.

[AsahinaKimi]

44. The Host

[charlie and algernon]

47. how is that move?

it looks really cool

[Orrex]

61. It's Cloverfieldy

[dysfunctional press]

57. that movie REALLY sucked.

a very regrettable rental.

[AsahinaKimi]

58. I disagree...

Korea has some great films from time to time. I think this was one of them. Great story and special effects to go with it. I really enjoyed it..

[Joe the Liberal]

49. The Human/Alien hybrid from Alien Resurrection.....

Hideous.

[Cush]

50. clown from Poltergeist

I refused to sleep near the edge of bed my for years after seeing it for the first time (I was like 5 or something)

[realisticphish]

52. Signs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RGtC2S22Z0

Fucked with me for a long time :D

[nomorenomore08]

54. Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper) from Blue Velvet

[Mixopterus]

82. Jeez

I found him hilarious, not scary. I guess that speaks volumes as to my sense of humor.

[nomorenomore08]

85. I think he's hilarious too. Not mutually exclusive, you know?

I quote that Heineken/Pabst Blue Ribbon line, and the "love letter" one, all the damn time.

[Mixopterus]

86. I see what you mean

His antics elicit laughter, but I wouldn't want to be locked in a room with him.

[Auggie]

56. Not recommended viewing before bedtime

:scared:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

71. Ole Gregg is pretty scary...

[PassingFair]

73. But he's got BAILEY'S......

and all things that are good!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

75. and he has a

man-gina!

can it get any better than that?

[PassingFair]

76. Do you love me? Are you playing your love gaaaaaamess with me?

Maybe I could love you. Maybe I was lying because when you do love someone sometimes you say you don't because you're playing hard to get, playing a game.
Games?
Yeah, I was just playing a game with you.
Love games?
Thats right, love games, Gregg.

Love games?

Movin' too fast, this isn't a race.
