Throughout film history, mankind has been attacked by a variety of animals, and even the occasional vegetable or Tree From Hell. Yet, some animals have never made it, like turtles (not counting the Teenage Ninja ones). Why is this? After all, slugs have Threathened The World.  Are there any other unfortunate species out there?

But turtles have made it in monster movies. Mind you, after being something of a menace at first, Gamera very quickly became the lovable friend of children everywhere.

Afte 20 minutes of trolling the www, I have to agree.  So I'll just hum the Gamera theme song...

I don't believe their has ever been a movie where evil Aphids attacked.

Nor do I believe has a giant salmon haunted swimmers.

Hamsters and Gerbils I am confidante that they've never been a movie monster.

This kind of reminds me of a thread a while back in which we discussed a potential movie about an attack of woolly caterpillars.

How about Attack of the Head Lice?

Hmmm...let's see here....

Lemur? Capybara? Aardvark? Giraffe? Opossum? Koala? Sloth? Cow?

I dunno...

Koala bears.  So cute, so cuddly. . . so deadly.

The vast breadth of the animal kingdom pretty much means that there are billions of creatures that will never be immortalized by slaughtering attractive co-eds.

Trilobytes.  They're back, they're p**sed.

Hermit crabs.  They're starting to socialize. . . with a vengeance!

Musk ox.  DON'T call them buffalo.

Cows.  They're mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore.

I could go on like this all day.

TOOOOOOoooooooo obvious, even for me.

Let's see....Killer Whale has already been done....



Hmmmm....perhaps the Eye-Eye? (or Aye-Aye)

(http://[img]http://www.animalinfo.org/image/mada6%20j%2018.jpg)[/img]

It has that one extra long finger on each hand for digging out termites & grubs.
Or in the case of a giant Aye-Aye....people.

I can picture it clinging to the side of a high rise building sticking its finger in through windows to get you!
And you can't hide from it...it uses echolocation to find your exact position....It knows you're there!
AAAHHHH!!!!!

Attack of the Giant Aye-Aye!!!!
Run for your lives!!!!!

Giraffes! Now there's a poser. How do you make a horror movie with giraffes? Mutant giraffes devastate Nairobi? Vampire giraffes?

I like Derf's Head Lice idea:

A worker, let's call him 'Bob,' is accidentally exposed to Atomic [not nuclear but atomic] waste and has his head lice grow to the size of a large dog!  Still suffering from the urge to latch onto the heads of people and suck their blood, the lice go on a rampage trying to find their old home, poor old Bob's head, who, in trying to escape these beasts who suffer from blood lust, ends up leading them to his small home town in the country.  

These bugs can leap tall buildings and pack a massive punch, and are perfectly capable of draining a human in under a minute, and whilst their eye sight is not so great, their sense of smell is really good.

Of course, these poor lice are just going on their natural instincts [or are they!] so that makes it alot easier for the ever-dwindling population of this small town to devise a plan to trap the beasts, using Bob as bait, and to try and blow them to hell with an extremely expensive pyrotechnics display!

It has such potential! But then again, you can't really go wrong when you take a relatively harmless animal, dump it in toxic waste and it grows in size... It's a proven formula I guess!

Big head lice could be easily killed with shoulder fired rockets or massive amounts of small arms fire per bug.  (like In Starship Troopers)

A giant Aye-Aye on the other hand, one that was ten times bigger than King Kong!....well that'd take a big military effort to put down.
I can imagine it swiping an entire row of more than twenty M-1 Abrams tanks out with its tail.

Remember, it can send out sound waves to hear you inside wherever you're hiding.  
Echolocation: A sensory system in certain animals, such as bats and dolphins, in which usually high-pitched sounds are emitted and their echoes interpreted to determine the direction and distance of objects.

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!!

Cows have been used; check out Roger Corman's "The Beast with a Million Eyes"... They aren't exactly menacing, are they?

I think killer gerbils probably won't have a movie made about them in our lifetime... the potential film would be just too graphic :(

I vote for killer aphids versus killers ants... but they'd have to be leafcutter ants that can climb trees...

The Bison of Doom!

The Killer Sea Anemone!

The Dust Mites That Ate L.A.!

Okay, this is getting silly, now isn't it?

Plus, in the end, as it dies, it could use that extra long middle digit to flip off its killers!

Maybe the Giant Killer Aye-Aye could fire red heat beams from its eyes, laying waste to entire cities.

Perhaps a combination monster movie of the Giant Killer Aye-Aye versus the Atomic Head Lice: What the Aye-Aye makes up for in extreme size, the lice make up for in numbers and general freaky lookingness [I'd imagine that a large lice would be extremely ugly and quite horrific]

Hmmm... it could perhaps work, something like various Gamera movies: the Aye-Aye, whilst a plague on mankind because it is so huge, ends up helping the otherwise helpless humans rid the area of the lice plague before laying siege to various sky scrapers nearby after getting shot at by an unnappreciative public, and getting sent to the moon by the military.

That or we can make a monster movie about puppies, and call it 101 feet tall Dalmations.

Good idea dude!
I'll call my Hollywood agent, Ari Gold immediately.

The Lice of Death!

They'll suck your brains out!

I can see the posters already!

What about broccoli? Evil mutant broccoli chomping at your ankles?

That reminds me of Stewie from Family Guy, pacing, around a plate of Broccoli saying: 'Well Broccoli, mother tells me that you are good for me, but I'm afraid that I'm NO GOOD FOR YOU!' or something to that effect.

Possible taglines for a broccoli inspired movie:

'you thought THEY tasted bad, wait till you find out what they think of YOU'

'They tasted bad when you were a kid, you taste GREAT now that they are mutated killer monsters!'

And so on and so forth.

While it wouldn't count as a movie exactly, I think sapient, evil monster broccoli was done on one of those Nickelodeon cartoons. I don't remember which one, but I'm thinking Dexter's Laboratory. The only way to kill them was to eat them.

I too remember recently watching a cartoon on Nickolodeon about the 'heroes' eating killer broccoli.

Was it The Powderpuff Girls?

You may be right; that sounds more plausible than Dexter and DeeDee saving the world by eating mutant vegetables. But, incidentally, it's the PowerPuff Girls, not the Powderpuff Girls. They beat people up for getting their name wrong.

If that's original, I love it. Even if it's a knock off, I still love it. It has the potential for the best play on a children's movie both in name and in subject. I absolutely must do something with that name. And hey, with the power of computers today, anything is possible. Someone call Robert Rodriguez, he'll make a movie about anything.

Hey Ash, did you draw that picture of the Aye-Aye?

Killer Ants have been used before, I believe. It was a Sci-fi movie called "Legion of Fire: Killer Ants!" Made complete with the exclamation point at the end.

Is it a rule that every creature on the earth can be made menacing by making it large and radioactive? I really need to think about this....

flamingos. Flamingos are the exception. I've never met an illtempered flamingo. And plus, it wouldn't be hard to defend against with its bright colors and good nature. Maybe if it stopped eating those little red shrimp and started eating people it wouldn't be that bright red anymore. Hmmmm

You're right...it is Powerpuff Girls.

Sorry...lol!

Trek Geezer : LOVE that photo! Got a Star Wars one?

COWS : does the one in "Kung Pow" count?
Chickens...you would think....
Cabbage : Ever been trapped inan elevator with a "cabbage head"? Its evil i tells ya...ev-il!
Oh, and flammable.

Yes, the Kung Pow cow counts!
Giant killer chickens were done in The Food of The Gods, with Marjoe Gortner, in the 1970's
There was a cabbage-headed bad guy on a Kids in The Hall episode --
peter johnson/denny crane

Ah! Food of the Gods....i KNEW there be chickens HERE!
The clucking of the dammed...

By no means! Remember the bunnies in Night of the Lepus? I always thought they looked cute, no matter how much ketchup was smeared on them.
