Forgotten Monsters
Sure the Alien and Predator are cool, but what about these guys?
“Choose the form of the
Destructor”. The well
meaning Ray picks the Stay
Puft Marshmallow Man,
perhaps the most
unthreatening monster of
all time.
Jeffrey Jones transforms
into the spectacular Dark
Overlord. Sure the film
sucked big time, but this
climactic creature almost
redeemed it...
In this terrifying ‘50s
classic, giant ants are
mutated by atomic testing
in the New Mexico desert,
possessing “a savagery
that makes man look feeble
by comparison”
The Demon of Vengeance,
called up by a backwoods
witch at the request of
grieving father Lance
Henriksen to avenge the
death of his young son.
A stunning Stan Winston
creation.
They’re big, they’re mean,
and they’re under the
ground. The ‘graboids’
shake up the desert town of
Perfection in one of the
best monster romps of the
late eighties.
A race of horny salmon men
have their way with
terrified bikini babes in
this Roger Corman drive-
in classic. Impressive
creature designs courtesy
of a young Rob Bottin.
From the toilet it came.
The Golgothan is an
‘Excremental’ (or shit
demon) and Hell’s chief
assassin. Summoned to
eliminate Linda
Fiorentino and thwarted
by Silent Bob.
Toothy, dragon-like flying
critters that overrun a
desolate planet during
total eclipse. A damn good
reason to be afraid of the
dark, as Vin Diesel and
Radha Mitchell discover.
