People were always the most creative when they came up with ways to scare each other. So the most terrible monsters in the world appeared, which can scare not only children, but also adults.
For those who are ready to face fear, we have prepared a selection of the most frightening and dangerous creatures from urban legends, books, films and games.
10. Godzilla
He is one of the biggest monsters in the movie. He exhales a massive beam of atomic fire from his mouth and tramples over skyscrapers, like cans of soda. He is what happens when a giant pangolin emerges from an oceanic “bath” of nuclear waste.
Godzilla has been the king of kaiju since his first appearance on television in the 50s of the twentieth century. About 30 films were shot about him, excluding TV shows. These included comedies (King Kong vs. Godzilla), children's films (Godzilla’s Attack), thrillers (Godzilla vs. Megagirus), crime films (Godzilla vs. Biolante) and science fiction (Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla) " and etc).
Most recently, the movie "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters" was released. This is a continuation of the 2014 film about a huge monster eating radiation.
9. Chupacabra
This creature is one of those rare monsters who prefer to kill animals, rather than humans. The name "chupacabra" is translated from Spanish as "sucking blood" or "goat vampire", which gives an idea of the gastronomic preferences of the animal.
It is not known exactly what a chupacabra looks like, often sick or mutated animals such as jackals, foxes and even dogs are mistaken for this monster.
Messages about the appearance of chupacabra periodically appear in different countries of the world, including in Russia.
Although chupacabra appears in films, books, and series, it was not born to the imagination of scriptwriters or writers. The first mention of chupacabra appeared in the 50s of the twentieth century, when in Puerto Rico they began to find goats whose blood was sucked. But true chupacabrobum arose in the 90s, thanks to television and the development of the Internet. Since then, this bloodsucker from urban legends has firmly established itself in the list of the most terrible monsters.
8. Dracula
This is one of the most popular monsters in world culture. Dracula has appeared in nearly 300 films, making him the most frequently portrayed movie character.
On screen, his image was embodied by famous actors such as Bela Lugosi (Dracula, 1931), Gary Oldman (Dracula, 1992), Leslie Nielsen (Dracula: Dead and Satisfied, 1995) and Gerard Butler ( Dracula 2000, 2000).
But all of them got around the actor Christopher Lee, who starred 11 times in the role of Dracula.
The immortal vampire is an antagonist in Bram Stoker's Gothic novel Dracula, written in 1897. Stocker's notes on the novel show that the original name for Dracula was "Count Vampire."
7. Pyramid Head
He supposedly has a human body hidden under his blood-stained clothes, while his head is a large red metal helmet of a triangular shape. But even if the Pyramid Head does not have the slightest bit of human flesh, he will still be a bloodied symbol of the Silent Hill franchise and one of the most iconic and terrible villains in computer games.
His huge, inexorably approaching, figure terrified thousands of gamers, providing them with an uninterrupted source of adrenaline throughout the game.
And considering that the Pyramid-headed is prone to sexual violence, and has impressive body sizes, he is perhaps the most sexually active monster not only in Silent Hill, but in the entire universe of video games. Some girls even admitted that they like this faceless reaper, not burdened with morality or social obligations.
Experts from various publications compared him to the maniac Leather face from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and even Darth Vader. Pyramid-headed is a participant and leader in many ratings - from 41 places in the “50 greatest characters of computer games” according to Empire magazine to the first line in “Top 25 scary monsters from video games” according to GameDaily.
6. The pale man
This creepy monster from the movie “Labyrinth of the Faun” is another proof that Guillermo del Toro is able to create the strangest and most terrible monster. Pale Man’s disturbing visions echoed in the nightmares of moviegoers.
It is not easy to forget a creature with eyes on its palms that puts its hands on the distorted face of a la Voldemort to track its prey. It is assumed that he prefers to eat children, but adults should also stay away from the Pale man.
5. Balrog
A giant demon that can envelop itself in an all-consuming fire and possesses a massive flaming whip and a giant fiery sword definitely inspires fear.
Balrogs are fire spirits who began to serve Melkor (Morgoth), turning their powers into evil. All living things in The Lord of the Rings were panicky afraid of the balrogs, and one of them, the Curse of Durin, managed to defeat Gandalf the Gray himself, although he himself died in a battle with him.
4. Witches from Crooked Marshes
Do not let their creepy (or sometimes beautiful) appearance deceive you. These ubiquitous Mistresses of the forest (Spinner, Cook and Whisperer) are a force to be reckoned with. They can do both evil and good, but for the latter they will certainly require a fee.
In The Witcher 3, they test Geralt of Rivia (and the player) both psychologically and physically. You can talk with them about anything, all this does not matter - one of you will lose anyway.
3. Predator
To cope with one of the creepiest monsters of cinema, all the strength and ingenuity of Arnold Schwarzenegger was required. Everything in the Predator is scary, from the name to the appearance. In addition, Predators are not just some monsters, it is a race of highly intelligent creatures whose development is far ahead of ours, and this makes them even more dangerous.
Add to this the fact that they can become invisible anytime they want! It goes without saying that the cruel and ugly Predator conquered the hearts of more than one generation. There are many video games, films, and comics dedicated to the best hunter in the universe.
2. Alien
It’s bad when a parasite lives inside a person, such as a helminth. But it’s much worse when an Alien lives inside, who, at his birth, tears the carrier’s chest. And then it starts to eat people like seeds.
This fearless alien monster, without a doubt, is one of the most terrible and popular creatures that have ever appeared on screens, in games or animated series.
Aliens are somewhat similar to giant ants. They also have the Queen-Womb (the main and largest creature in the colony), workers and soldiers. They are smart, fast and deadly. It’s scary even to imagine a whole world full of these terrible creatures.
1. It
The top ten most terrible monsters on Earth is headed by the creation of King of Horrors Stephen King - the infernal clown Pennywise.
Under his guise hides an ancient creature of extraterrestrial origin, whose favorite pastime is devouring people (especially children, they are easier to manipulate). It is shown to the person in the form of what scares him or her the most. According to Pennywise, the flesh of a frightened victim is tastier. At the same time, the real face of the creature is beyond human understanding. And people who encounter him in the "void" or "deadly fires" go crazy. This is what the scariest monster looks like.
If a person, especially a child, at first does not know whether to be afraid of him or not, It looks like a clown to lure a person closer. The alien sleeps about 27-30 years and wakes up, which is accompanied by some kind of terrible catastrophe or act of violence.
It causes people as much psychological, emotional and physical agony as possible. The most common human fear is arachnophobia. Therefore, for members of the Losers Club who are chasing a monster in its lair, It at some point looks like a very fast, giant black spider with huge fangs.
