What’s the key to a great monster movie? An awesome monster, duh! The more terrifying, or in some cases fun, the monster is, the more enjoyable the movie. Here are some of the most frightening movie monsters from cinema history. When we say monster, we’re talking about various creatures, ghouls and animalistic aliens. We aren’t including seemingly supernatural killers like Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees. Humans, and humanoid aliens, will have to wait for their time in the sun. © Universal
