5 Rubbish Monsters

Ed Sigma · June 23, 2008, 07:46:51 AM

This may interest you, this is a video made by web-comedian Dr. Ashen, featuring a selection of rather crap monsters he's discovered while researching bad movies, two of which have been reviewed here before!.

Also, be sure to check out his site Trailer Club 70 that features some classic B-movie trailers, and his own musings on them. Enjoy!

Oh man, I really want to see the jellyfish one now.

Also, I'm somewhat surprised (but not tremendously so) that Black Sheep is not the first B-movie featuring mutant sheep as the monster.

No, the Godmonster of Indian Flats holds that honor (at least as far as I know). One of the silliest things about GoIF is that the "monster" isn't central to the plot, and it's not really very evil or destructive. It scares a few people (who wouldn't be a little scared of an eight-foot-tall bipedal sheep with one four-foot arm and one two-foot arm?), but the worst thing it does is eat some hot dogs. The scene in the video above shows that the sheep is just hungry; it isn't trying to terrorize anyone. It just wants some nummies. That said, I don't see how this rates below the jellyfish guy. At least the makers of GoIF tried to make a monster.

STING OF DEATH is available with DEATH CURSE OF TARTU on a William Gefe double-feature from Something Weird.

Even scarier than the jellyfish monster is the theme song Do the Jilla Jella Jellyfish sung by a cash-poor Neil Sedaka.

Hear the song at 1:30! It's got a groovy beat and the kids seem to love it!

And somebody may want to introduce the creator of this list to THE GIANT CLAW

and, naturally, ROBOT MONSTER

His research must come from Something Weird Video collection. I have all of those on SWV releases, except the Killer Shews which is on a 50 pack. And that's just the tip of the iceberg there is 100's if not 1000's of crappy monsters.

They didn't even make the jelly fish head opaque! That's spectacular. The GoIF monster was actually not too bad, I liked him

and who doesn't love the killer shrews? The dinosaur puppet, though, made my day- that is hands-down the best thing that I've ever seen, and the guy in the monkey suit fightng a puppet? Genius XD!

I have to admit, The Mighty Gorga made me happy inside.

But still...

My personal favorite is still (and will always be) Robot Monster. I mean c'mon...

GENIUS!!!

RCMerchant · February 17, 2009, 07:50:09 PM

A few more...
.the giant Volkswagon spider from the GIANT SPIDER INVASION.
.the carpet monster from the CREEPING TERROR.
.the dish-rag monster from NIGHT of the BLOOD BEAST.

the best way to avoid being eaten by a giant carpet would be to stand up and walk away....not to crawl into his a$$.

The 'Giant Spider' from "Mesa Of Lost Women" is a fun bad special effect.

He looks a lot like the giant spider from MISSLE to the MOON! I think the old tin can robots from countless serials and b fliks would qualify. I like this guys taste in movies. He should be hired instead of the sh!t reviewers hat Yahoo news uses.

JJ80 · February 17, 2009, 08:28:40 PM

Yes, I liked the fact that he didn't pickout the obvious 'bad' movies and included the more cult titles. Actually, I think his knight based intro animation is itself based on the old ident for "Anglia TV". Actually, the 'Rockmen' from "Missile To The Moon" are also worthy of a place on a list like this.

If you understand Spanish this all probably makes perfect sense:
