Who do you think are the worst movie monsters (I'm writing an article)

[sideorderofninjas]

Monster from Brainiac has an 18 inch prehensile tongue and pulsating head. 

[Torgo]

One word-MONSTURD!!!!

The damn thing looks like one of those Little Debbie Star Crunch snacks.

[wanderarbeiter]

-Reptilicus

- Sound of Horror, an invisible dinosaur.

- Gingerdead Man.


Nice to see other people from Cracked over here, we should claim this land for PWOT.

The Navy vs. The Night Monsters!!!
The monsters are walking tree stumps -- I kid you not --
Funny I didn't think of that one until now --

Man, talking about walking tree stumps, how about Tabonga in "From Hell It Came?"

[Kester Pelagius]

Since Monsturd was mentioned what about that, uhm, peenar critter from FLESH GORDON 2?

Also don't forget the sciffy original movies.  They have some of the WORST CGI monsters you'll ever see.  IE: Stan Lee's Harpies, Rock Monster, &tc.

EDIT: Did anyone mention the weird looking monster thing-y from the end of CONTAMINATION yet?

Surely Ed Wood fits in here somewhere! I mean, I don't know much about the man, but he's made some of the world's worst movies, right?

I feel that to be complete your list must include the giant locusts from "Beginning of the End".

Why did I know you would choose them? 

[peter johnson]

Ed Wood does fit in here -- Someone mentioned the rubber octopus from Bride of The Monster, didn't they?
Beginning of The End -- hmmm . . . real live grasshoppers thrown on a photograph of Chicago . . . yep, that's pretty shabby alright!!
And, as Frank Zappa observed, that "rounded off pup-tent affair with teeth around the bottom of it" -- It Conquered the World -- is a pretty sorry critter as well.

RC, you are most likely finding a use for your latent telepathic abilities.

How about the mutant salamanders from Aberration? Another idea is the snow creature from...er, The Snow Creature, a great example of bad monster presentation: walk towards the camera in blurred shadows then back away in blurred shadows while the attack itself is not shown- you can't even make it out clearly on the movie's box art. I'll roll with giant leeches (though being drained by one must suck. Zing!) but there's another invertebrate that might belong up there, the octopus monster of such films as Octopus and Tentacles. Still more could be found in the monster from Creeping Flesh and the thing from The Unnamable (both of which are enjoyable titles nonetheless).

The spiders from The Horrors of Spider Island. Okay, I said it, out of my system.

"The Attack of the Beast Creatures"

Not big, but they attack en masse.


"Zontar: The Thing from Venus"

Larry Buchanan's re-make of It Conquered the World. Goofy, bat-like monster.


Or "It lives By Night"

Or "Night of the Blood Beast"

Or "Attack of the Moon Beast"

THE 20 GOOFIEST MOVIE MONSTERS OF ALL TIME

That's a great list you put together there, Foywonder , the biggest shock was the #1 spot- unexpected! Loads of laughable monsters, some that I've never even heard of. The rental list gets longer and longer.
