monster thread ?
 

has anyone done this before ?

list every possible kind of monster there's been ?

we complain about lack of origionality in the films .. lets see how many there are.

i'll put as many as i can think of then others can add.

or we can just let the thread die ...


vampire
frankenstein
wolfman
mummy
zombie
the jeepers creeper guy
the thing from stephen king's "the Raft"


...

ghosts
dummies that are alive
dolls that are alive
clowns that are evil
people who are mutated

Do aliens count? Like from "Alien", "Aliens", etc.

How about "Predator"?

yeah i was wondering about that .. do we lump them all in as aliens - or list the different ones ?

Then you'd have to ask what about the clowns in "Killer Klowns From Outer Space". Are they clowns or are they aliens? :D

true dat

nature gone wild :

(king kong, godzilla)


prehistoric monsters back to haunt us :

(megaladon)

Pumpkinhead!

good one



i guess satanists/witches are appropriate ..

or maybe just The Devil..

and Death (final destination)

Rawhead Rex
Alyda (from the Unnamable)
Pinhead and the Cenobites
Nightbreed
The Toxic Avenger

Scarecrows....

giant breasts

No kidding.... really.. rent "everything you ever wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask"

Umm... dead girls with robotic computer chips in theri head (Deadly friend)

Giant rabbits.

Killer Condom?

what would we call these guys that become electricity (a la Shocker)

i guess they're ghosts kind of..

Shocker is aghost.
Freddy is a ghost (a very clever variation, but a ghost)
Samara, Ghost
Belching crawly lady from the Grudje, Ghost
Poltergeist? PolterGhost.
Ghost? Whoopee Goldberg

Did he actually die though?
I know he had the ability to travel through electrical currents and jump into bodies.
I remember when he was getting fried in the Chair-his body just disappeared (with his clothes intact) and it wasn't clear what exactly happened there.
I saw a re-run of Shocker on Sci-Fi channel last week and still couldn't figure it out.

yeah thats the thing ... i didnt think he actually died - he just became electricity ..

there are others where there was a ghost who manipulated electricity (pulse, ghost in the machine, virtuosity)

So I guess we can call Shocker a... pulse energy body snatcher creature?
Maybe someone can come up with a snappy name just for him....

sounds like a pokemon

Damn it! You stole my answer! I can't believe someone else has actually seen this movie.

So how about evil squid? Those are my greatest fear, yet I find them so fascinating. Or do these fall into the "nature gone wild" category?
