7 Most Easily Escapeable Movie Monsters

[lester1/2jr]

not a movie monster, but I always thought the sleestcks from "Land of the lost" were particularly escapable as they were slow as molasses.

The giant leeches...from ATTACK of the GIANT LEECHES....I mean...cmon...don't go in the swamp.  Easy.

Still...it's one of my AIP low budget favs....

...and Yvette Vickers...I wouldn't try to ecscape her! 

[GrandMaster]

i def don't undertand that list, the predator has to be one of the hardest movie monters to escape!

yeah no kidding.  Especially since he can usually hide until you surface. 

IMO, heres a few:
Zombies (pre-the year 2000)
Leeches
Chucky, Demonic Toys, Dolly Dearest or any killer doll...
The Stuff

Like Bela mentioned earlier - definitely Kharis the Mummy in the Lon Chaney, Jr. movies. Kharis was crippled and walked verrry slowly - step draaag step draaag - and to get away from him all you really had to do was walk away at a leisurely pace. There were even a couple of time in these movies when poor Kharis would walk slowly up behind his intended victim only to have them casually walk out of reach, completely unaware there was a murderous mummy around.

Now Christopher Lee as Kharis  in Hammer's THE MUMMY movie was a different matter, he could move lickity-split and catch his victims with ease!

I know this is for the EASIEST monsters to avoid, but Sil from Species would be impossible.  Because she is either amzingly strong, (so she could squeeze your neck until your head explodes, or she wants to do the so called nasty, which very few men will avoid with her human form.

I took the list as more of an attempt at comedy rather than a true list of what monsters are escapable...I mean, surely if it was a real list, the blob would have had to be there. I did think some of the stuff was hilarious...especially when he talked about the exorcist.

I wanna nominate the rancor from Return of the Jedi!

Sure it's big and all but all you have to do is run towards it and go through it's legs.  Okay, while your grandmother may have trouble running away from the rancor, a reasonably fit person could outsmart it.

The trouble with the logic behind many of the monster scenarios is that the victim is in some way trapped by either loyalty to friends, a large house, environment, injury. So we have to give that advantage to the monster. Most of these bad boys wait until you are trapped like a fly in a spiderweb before they'll strike. So you can't really use much of the logic dictating just running away because in most instances you can't. The victim must escape, but its on the terms of the attacker.

Or the plot. Remember the HERO'S DEATH EXEMPTION Via Jabootu? Sometimes, its all in who ya know, baby.

How about Tor Johnson, Vampira, and Bela Lugosi in Plan 9?  They're only a danger if your a wimpy cop, woman or a poofy lord of space.

I think that Freddy's pretty escapeable, seriously, he can be defeated by coffee, red bull, and even some narcotics.

The giant leeches...from ATTACK of the GIANT LEECHES....I mean...cmon...don't go in the swamp.  Easy.

I haven't seen this one, but isn't that pretty much the premise of every overgrown beastie flick?
Stay out of the water, the beach is closed, cancel the big parade, call off the tourist season, etc. etc. etc.
... & then a couple of nosy eight year olds & an arrogant scientist stir up the hive, and the whole town gets killed trying to rescue them.

[threnody]

Not to mention all the carnivorous plants that require people to bump into the plant so that the deadly flora can grab them.

Like Audrey, Jr., haha.
