Top five monsters

[K7P5V]

However, My All-Time Favorite Monster (from 4Kids/Anime) would be...

Blue-Eyes White Dragon







And I don't know if this counts, but another favorite would be...

Obelisk The Tormentor

Whoa, those look like fearsome monsters, K7P5V!

Thanks, Phoenixx9. I'm totally looking forward to your "Top Five Monsters", as well.

Kaiju ( Gigsntic creatures that are metaphors for destruction on a massive scale, like a living hurricane, or nuclear war.)
The Blob ( especially 80s Blob)
The Thing ( such a notion that someone you know, is a shape shifting predator.)
The Body Snatchers: Great social commentary piece with political undertones
Zombies: Romero ones. The culture undertones here are her as well. ( Literally the original 3 Living Dead films are all social satire pieces, just with undead flesh eaters.)

It wasn't that apparent in the first one. But definitely in Dawn of the Dead and the setting of a shopping mall.

The setting in Night was perfect if you read in between the lines.

Era: 60s. With the red and counter culture scare.

The living humans: Can all be summed up as political parties

The government: Useless in doing a damn thing against a real crisis, leaving questions rather than answers.

Zombies: Were literally metaphor for all the undesirable of the po culture at the time. ( Where anything non mainstream American was communism or just as evil.)

Literally night is like Body Snatchers just the mo stars are bold enough to get you when your awake and it shows they eat your flesh, ( Oh and zombies representing what the dead are to the living. No longer people, but nameless things.)

You could also point out how the police/militia squad killed the only survivor in the house, a Black man, even though he didn't present any evidence of being turned into one of the living dead. Shoot first, ask questions later. One wonders if they had treated one of the whie men the same. Romero does try to be "color blind" in how the other characters interact with each other and race is never brought up directly IIRC. But maybe that last scene was his statement.

and all the rest...

[The Darknight Detective]

When I was a kid 50 years ago, it would have been:

1) Werewolves (The Wolf Man (Lawrence Talbot)).

2) The Frankenstein Monster

3) Vampires (Count Dracula))

4) The Blob

5) The Mummy

A few years later, I would have had to think about where to put King Kong and Godzilla, while I wasn't introduced to a Romero-like zombie until the second half of the '70s.

Based solely on what terrified me as a child:

1. Werewolves
2. Bigfoot or any unknown creature in the woods
3. Jaws
4. Ghosts
5. Demons

I'm not sure, but I don't believe anyone has mentioned yet a couple that scared the bejeebers out of me, in different eras in my life:
the Monsters from the Id, in Forbidden Planet
the Weeping Angels, from Doctor Who

The Sleestaks from Land Of The Lost. I don't think I was ever once scared of the dinosaurs on that show but the Sleestaks scared me to death.

Hulking monsters - For quite some time, I'm very fond of physically intimidating monsters. Characters like Blackheart and Hulk from Marvel or the Beast of the Apocalypse from Angel or the Predator from the Predator movies.

Vampires - Not just regular vampires, but alpha ones like Dracula

Zombies - For zombies, I like the horde aspect of them. The overwhelming numbers that can lead to so much chaos. I did like how the zombies swarmed in World War Z, even if that movie felt like it was lacking that something.

Hidden - This one is more about underwater monsters. Whether it be the shark from Jaws, the giant octopus from the Beast TV miniseries, or if they can maybe pull off an underwater Starro in the new Suicide Squad movie.

Giants - while I find the idea of Godzilla and the various monsters of that world kind of cool, I like the idea of gigantic monsters like those from the God of War games or the Attack on Titan anime/movie. I guess I'm more of a fan of humanoid giant monsters rather than animal-esque ones.
