Favourite scifi flick monster

[baby_mouse]

The THING....
Best. Monster. EVER.

[MrScorpio]

1. The Original Blob

Not the namby, pamby modern one

[baby_mouse]

3. I like the modern blob!

Smacks DOWN the cruddy 50s throwback blob!

[Swede]

2. The thing was awesome.

But I liked the Alien a bit more. The Predator was good too.

[baby_mouse]

4. Thing smacksdown Alien smacksdown Blob in my book

And I think Blob smacksdown thing.

New tripods in WOTW '05 were also WICKED scary.

5. "If it's all the same to you, I'd like to not spend the rest of the winter

TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!!"

[baby_mouse]

12. "You gotta be fucking KIDDING..."

This line is well remembered but not entirely GOT, as it is later revealed but often ignored that the pot-head eyeballing the spider-head is IN FACT another THING and is commenting out of professional respect...

[CanuckAmok]

15. How dou we know he was a Thing at that point?

Does he not leave anyone's sight between then and when he's revealed to be a Thing?

[baby_mouse]

17. No, he doesn't!

He's the one who starts Thinging out while tied to the couch! It's all part of the same scene in the couch room! There's not time for him to be assimilated between the spider head and the couch... He's a THING!

[CanuckAmok]

18. Oh, that's COOL!

Now I really need to se eit again.

There was a used DVD copy at my Blockbuster last week, but it was gone in a day.

[baby_mouse]

20. Fast snapping, there.

Amazon? (actually, I've never used them...)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

16. Yes, amusing yet disturbing when considered in light of "future events".

[Democracy White]

6. The Aliens Triology

That monster is one fucking scary thing.

10. I like the first one best

It is WOAH scary. Like Momma in ep #2 also.

[NMMNG]

33. Definitely that one

I would not want to run into that thing ever!

[FuzzySlippers]

7. Gotta be King Kong.

I love gorillas.

[baby_mouse]

9. U go see flick?

Peter Jackson. SHINY.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

8. Not Science Fiction but horror - The British film "Rawhead Rex"

[baby_mouse]

13. Never seen

What happens?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

26. I have to clarify that I like the concept of the monster but not the movie

The short story by Clive Barker is wonderful and so is the concept of the monster. It's one of my favorite Clive Barker stories. It starts in ancient Ireland and is about a bloodthirsty pagan demon that ravaged the countryside and that was finally captured and buried in a deep hole in a farmer's field and covered by a giant rock. Cut several centuries later to the modern day and when a farmer plowing his field decides to remove a big rock from the middle of his field he again releases the pagan demon on the Irish countryside.

The movie is low budget and unfortunately Clive Barker didn't write the screenplay.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

11. The original, James Arness Thing? Or the remake from the Kurt Russell,

John Carpenter version, which I LOVE?

[baby_mouse]

14. Oh MAN the REMAKE

Which is still a petrifying ride.

Ah, they don't make em like they used to...

:cry:

[baby_mouse]

24. Oh, YEAH?

[democracyindanger]

29. DON'T LECTURE ME ABOUT GIGANTOR!

[baby_mouse]

22. The Creature from the Black Lagoon - in 3D!

Nothing else could be so patently plastic and hilarious.

[baby_mouse]

25. That underwater stalking scene

Is just RIPE. Why have I seen no movie parodies?

[bertha katzenengel]

28. I wonder if they ever lampooned that film on MST3K?

Hey, MST3K fans -- did they?!

[Bossy Monkey]
