The Top 5 Movie Monsters

So, I've watched Cloverfield, which features a giant monster of unknown origins terrorizing a major city. So, because of that I've decided to to compile my 5 favorite monsters that go around killing folk in film. Allons-y!

5. Shelob The Giant Spider (Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King)
I know this was a minor part of the 210 minutes of awesome of Return of the King (240 if you watched the extended version) and that it really didn't do all that much save for try to kill Frodo and get powned by a suddenly badass Sam, but it was kind of awesome. Maybe I'm just a sucker for giant spiders on account of I used to be terrified of them.

4. The Raptors (Jurrassic Park )

Do these really count because they're dinos? Yes, yes they do. Why? Because they're carnivorous, super intelligent dinos that terrorize the island, killing everyone they see, they hunt in packs, and they can open doors. They can open doors for God's sake! This was proof that not all movie monsters have to be really stupid, and that if you have to choose between meeting a raptor and Chuck Norris in dark alley, pick Norris! He might kill you painlessly.

3. The Cloverfield Monster (Cloverfield)

Did I just write this list to rave about this movie even more? Maybe, but it's my list. I basically have this here instead of Godzilla because it's much cooler! First off, it destroys everything in sight, such as buildings, the Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Second, it lauches smaller monsters off of it's back that look like big spider (yay) that can tear you to pieces and if they bite you, your head explodes. Third, the army hits it with bullets, missiles, and bombs and it still survives. They eventually drop an atomic bomb on it, and it's not even clarified if it worked! Plus, you never find out just what it is or where it's from, and you only see it's face like twice, and that makes it pretty darn creepy.

2. Bruce the Great White Shark (Jaws)

This kinda had to be here. Steven Spielberg's megahit about a great white that terrorizes an island community still strikes fear in the hearts of people today. So Bruce is just a gigantic great white shark goes around eating swimmers, sailors, and dogs, pulling docks off their hinges, and tearing boats to shreds. The body count quickly rises, and the film used all the fake blood supplies in America for that year. Even though he was killed by an explosion at the end of the movie, Bruce is still the main reason by fear of oceans, which lands him a spot on the list. I wanted to put Bruce at #1, but I couldn't because all of the movie's carnage could've been avoided had everyone simply stayed out of the water...

And the number 1 movie monster of all time is....

1. The Alien (Alien franchise)

Now, I haven't really made it a secret that love Alien, so maybe I'm a little biased in this decision. But I don't care! So why is the titular alien so awesome? Here's why: it's born inside of you body, and when it's ready to enter the world, it tears through your chest and kills you. And then it goes through some major puberty, growing about 6 times it size in about an hour. From there, if there's only one, it will most likely stalk you and your crew, killing you off one at a time, taking full advantage of the fact that the only way to kill is by shooting it out into space. If it finds you, it'll rip you apart limb by limb. And guess what? It has an evil robot manservant helping it! If there's more than one, it'll full on attack you and destroy you and everyone with you. And it's got an evil queen with a mouth inside of her mouth that will hunt you down and butcher you for dinner! And even when you team up with Predators to kill it, the alien will still kick your ass! And that makes the Alien the number one movie monster of all time.
