Jun 26 12 11:51 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	This kinda-sorta came up on another thread, so I thought I'd make an official subject out of it... Let's be honest... they can't all be winners. Some monsters are built painstakingly over months, even years of development, say, like The Creature From the Black Lagoon... or sometimes they are weekend wonders that still manage to be amazingly effective... Charlie Gamora's martian from "The War of the Worlds," for example... But then there are the monsters that were the result of cheapness, of failure to plan ahead, or of just plain ineptitude. Critters so badly conceived and executed, that they are generally laughed off the screen. The Giant Claw's mexican marionette... Journey Beyond the Sun's freudian tree monster, battling it out with a deeply bopper meatball/testicle... The Creeping Terror's shambing carpet sample display... There have been some doozies! LOL What's on your list of: THE WORST MONSTERS IN THE WORLD!? "[The audiance] will populate the darkness with more horrors than all the horror writers in Hollywood could think of. If you make the screen dark enough, the mind's eye will read anything into it you want! We're great ones for the dark patches." -VAL LEWTON

Jun 26 12 3:14 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Well, I love the movie... And they TRY to shoot the sequence imaginatively... But the cute lil' stiff grasshoppers on sticks, jerking around on a blanketed tabletop, that are supposed to be Big Scary Martians Conquering The Universe in the "flashback" scene of "Five Million Years to Earth" are pretty silly!

I wouldn't say the Creeping Terror is the worst movie of all time (but ranks up there)but I have to believe it is indeed the worst monster of all time. Slow,basically formless with annoying vocalizations to boot. It's like it was an elementary school art project with zero budget.

Or any number of iguanas with spines glued on that are supposed to be dinosaurs. Anyone remember that totally goofy alien thingy in THE TERRORNAUTS? I've never seen GODMONSTER OF INDIAN FLATS but I bet it belongs here!

Jun 26 12 9:11 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yeah, seeing the lizards with the fake fins attatched in movies like THE LOST WORLD (1960) was always disappointing as a youngster. It never occurred to me before but those are every bit as crummy as dogs dressed up to be killer shrews.

Jun 27 12 7:34 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Allow me to explain my The Happening post... 1)I liked the movied a lot! I'm even looking to buy a house in the town where much of it was shot. 2)The grass/trees blowing in the wind is the cheapest monster possible...it cost NOTHING to make. 3)Any other 'worst monster' has to at least have been created. In this case all they had to do was pan away from the actors to a field with wind blowing.

Oh, that's a good one! And yes, I'm talking about just the monsters. NOT the movies they inhabit. (There are some pretty darn good UK movies that have some great acting and suspense in them... but the monster FX let them down... The aforementioned "dream" sequence from 5 Millon Years to Earth is a good example... But horrorfilmx's post reminded me of another one... "The Haunted Palace"... whose "creature in the pit" appeared to be a rubber dimestore toy, filmed through the top of an aquarium tank... (too bad, too... because the rest of that movie was so well done!) "[The audiance] will populate the darkness with more horrors than all the horror writers in Hollywood could think of.
