-Vampires. Because, well...vampires! And I do mean the ones adhering to the 'old rules for vampires' of the bram stoker era. Not all this new age stuff like the vampires from true blood, or *shudder* twilight. Even the vampires from buffy weren't good 'monsters' imo.
-Tonberry from final fantasy. I mean...to make even seasoned rpg gamers hastily try to flee from a battle in fear the moment they see this little green guy with his tiny dagger and hooded lantern...I love him. <3 And I especially love the first time, or the first few times someone new to the FF series encounters them.
-The Weeping Angels from Docto who. I mean my god, if there was ever a good idea for a very scary horror movie it would be one where the bad guy was a group of weeping angels, or even just one of them. Harmless and indestructible when you see them, but you only have to do so much as blink and... Add to that the power to invade people's minds when you look into their eyes, and even use mere images of yourself (video, proper drawings, etc) as a way to also attack your prey. Yea...truly terrifying monsters and brilliantly thought of. The only down side would be that they mostly don't kill or even harm victims, but just send them back in time where they can live on.
-And as said before, creepers in minecraft. They don't seem 'too' scary when you're playing on hard or below, really. But go and play a few games of hardcore mode, and you'll stop dead in your tracks just from seeing one in the distance. (well, either that or quickly run into the other direction.) Such a simple, yet great design.

I'm going to go with lovecraftean horrors. Besides the obvious choices like Cthulhu and the Shoggoth, there are also:
A> insectomorphic fungi-based life forms from Pluto that steal people's brains
B> rodents with human faces that chew through people
C> a colour that sucks out the life of everything it touches
D> fish people that live the first half of their lives as increasingly disfigured humans
E> A black guy. Yeah, I know. In Lovecraft's defense though, the guy's true form is a massive tripod thing with a tentacle for a head.
F> an invisible egg-shaped monster with hundreds of eyes and mouths because why the fuck not.
and many more.
Sometimes I wonder what was going in inside that guy's head. At least he was creative though, I'll give him that.

Lovecraft was haunted by terrible nightmares, that might explain a lot about his creatures...Johny_X2 said:
Hell yeah. that was the best part of that movie.Izanagi009 said:
OT: Best monster?
FUCKING MALBOROS. These little fuckers always come when you are unprepared, and it will kill you.
The monster in that entirely too underrated movie Phantoms. Everything about that monster was terrifying and all at once fascinating. The whole idea of that thing... If you haven't seen Phantoms you have to just to see the monster. I'm calling it one of the best done monsters ever! I mean EVER! Six hundred years of technological advancement and the damn thing would still be pretty terrifying. Check it out if you haven't seen the movie. I can't say much about the monster because it's just... so cool and you have to 'experience' it.
Captcha: skynet knows (Well then it's not quite as frightening a monster, now is it?) That's captcha for you, just ruining everything!
