The Top 8 Scariest Horror Movie Monsters of All Time
Godzilla lands in theaters on Friday, May 16. This movie is a reboot of the popular Godzilla film franchise. It features the Japanese monster taking over a city. This iconic creature is described as a “terrifying force of nature,” but it’s not the only scary movie monster. Some of these modern day monsters have been terrifying horror moviegoers for years. Check out this list of the scariest horror movie monsters from the past 60 years.
8. Cloverfield (2008)
Like Godzilla, this film featured a large terrifying monster. (Was it an alien? A dinosaur?) Thanks to the footage style of the movie, it showed you only glimpses of what the monster looked like which made it feel scarier. The beast is never explained throughout the film. Unlike Godzilla, it showed the point of view of how an average citizen would feel if a giant monster attacked a city.
7. Friday the 13th (1980)
 Jason Adult Costume |
There’s nothing like a strange guy in a hockey mask to scare you at night. Yes, Jason Vorhees wasn’t a monster per se, but he still was scary looking. The worst feeling is knowing that he could lunge at you anywhere and anytime with his knife. You and your friends can become your own hell raisers with costumes and masks from the classic 70s film.
6. Pacific Rim (2013)
This film also featured large monsters taking over cities. Guillermo Del Toro’s film featured large robots that fought off the monsters. This brought blockbuster results and stunning special effects.
5. The Avengers (2012)
This isn’t a horror movie, but it sure had its share of scary monsters. The Chitauri and the giant flying snake had moviegoers rattled. But it was the giant Hulk and his rage that stole the show. He was so scary that he frightened some of the children in the audience. You and your family can dress as these superheroes with licensed The Avengers Costumes. Each of these costumes is directly inspired by the film.
4. Splice (2009)
Who is she? Is she a monster or an alien? Dren was certainly stunning to look at it, in an odd sort of way. Spoiler alert! It was found out that she’s actually a creature created from human and animal DNA, which makes it even creepier.
3. Child’s Play (1988)
 Chucky Adult Costume |
What’s creepier than having a doll that looks like My Buddy? Dolls are creepy in general, but there’s nothing like America’s favorite homicidal doll. Our licensed Chucky Costumes are inspired by the movie. We have a large variety of sizes so everyone in your family can join in on the fun.
2. The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
This is one of the few classic movies on this list. The Creature from the Black Lagoon is one of the most iconic horror movie monsters of all time. Despite its scary appearance, this monster doesn’t hurt anyone. It actually draws sympathy from the audience.
1. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
 Freddy Deluxe Adult Costume |
 Secret Wishes Miss Krueger Adult Costume |
This movie started the trend of slasher movies. Freddy Krueger was the monster that would haunt your dreams, not because he was powerful but because he didn’t exist. Elm Street was the kind of movie that made you afraid to go to bed at night. You can give your friends sleepless nights with your own Krueger costume.
