Most of monster designer Paul Blaisdell's creatures were slightly goofy-lookin' at best, but his alien for IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE is pretty effective:



Here's a nice tribute to Blaisdell, with photos of most of his critters:

The Monster That Challenged the World.



The Angry Red Planet's Bat-Rat-Spider



Hey personally I also like Paul Blaisdell's monsters too. Hell I even like Robot Monster, the Giant Claw and the Brain From Planet Arous...at least the aliens looked truly otherwordly and/or downright bizarre back in the old days of B-movies...now they almost always look like they stepped out of a video game.

Actually, the villainous truck driver in MONSTER MAN was way spookier looking than that movie deserved!

The original "Creature from the black lagoon" always looked great due to the fact you saw no human eyes or mouth even in closeups.

 The white eyed godzilla in "GOdzilla, mothra and king gidorah" was the only scary looking godzilla I ever saw.

Not a monster, but I liked the robot suits in A.P.E.X.

I'm sure it has something to do with growing up watching things like the Sinbad movies, but stop-motion monsters have always creeped me out. I know they're corny and kids today would think I'm a complete moron, but there's something about stop-motion monsters, something that's kind of off about them, that made them terrifying to me as a child. I'm not terrified now, of course, but they still carry a surreal, nightmarish feeling for me.

I've always found the stop-motion effect to be slightly unsettling, in a good way, of course. I agree, it's because there is something slightly unnatural about the movements. Now that I think about it, the effect is not unlike some of the digital tricks applied in a more exaggerated form to ghosts and monsters in movies today. Disturbingly unnatural movement has been one of the most used staples of horror movies since at least the late 90s, and the old stop-motion monsters had it as a natural byproduct.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
