Forgotten Monsters

Sure the Alien and Predator are cool, but what about these guys?

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.

“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.
