The 4 Best Monster Designs in Horror Movies

Rob Hunter and Film School Rejects presented The 10 Best Monster Designs in Horror Movies. Sadly that post is no longer available.  Still, here are my top three picks from Hunter’s choices and my selection for the #1 spot and it’s a monster that didn’t make his list!

3.  Alien: The design is scary even before you learn about the teeth that extract. But perhaps what makes Alien scariest is that the design doesn’t look like it would work with a person in a suit.  What is that thing?

2.  The Creature from the Black Lagoon:  If you were to find the missing link between fish and man, it would look like The Creature from the Black Lagoon.  A perfect design.

1. The Predator:  Want to know why Predator got my top spot from Hunter’s list?  Watch the scene when the Predator removes his mask and for the first time we get a look at it’s face as it roars.

My choice for best monster design — The Curse of the Werewolf werewolf.  THAT is what a wolfman should look like!
