Does Zedd from Power Rangers count?

 

[Audiophile]

I was the monster when I was a kid.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Like a few others said, Godzilla was my favorite. Loved when a Godzilla movie was on TV.

 

[jason10mm]

As a real little id is was the Sleestacks

followed in a few years by the cylons

and then this nightmare fuel vampire show and from there on out it was horror all the way

then there was the corrosive slime mummy from Time Walker

which scared me so badly I lef tthe theater early, not staying to the LUDICROUS and terror defusing finale that he was just a silly alien.

then there was Amityville 3D with its ghosts and demons......holy shit not great for a kid! Who was letting us watch this shit!

and of course the classic, Something Wicked This Way Comes



and then she propelled me into puberty and it led to the sexy slashers and adult fantasy

 

[Insane Metal]

These fuckers.

Return of the Living Dead zombies. When these guys showed up, you were fucked!

 

[Brazen]

Werewolves. My bedroom/hallway lights had to stay on for like a week (to my parent's dismay) after watching Silver Bullet, my first introduction to the horror genre, lol.

 

[German Shocks]

 

[Pejo]

Godzilla

I really loved the movie Clash of the Titans, so really any monster from that movie, but let's say the Kraken because of the addition of scale/size

Gmork from Neverending Story

Jaws

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Jaws

I watched Jaws for the first time four years ago and that movie is amazing. I can understand why people love this film

 

[Mr1999]

 

[Kacho]

I was really into Greys when I was a kid due to the movie Communion and the X-files show.

 

[p_xavier]

The dog dragon scared me the most. Especially after a tragic accident with a horse and laser eyes statues.

I would say Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? terrified me when I was a kid to the point where it's not until now where I was able to watch the full movie. That last part in the movie, looking at it as a adult made me kind of understand why that scene was so scary for me. I was yeah I can see that last scene being super intense for a kid

I have to rewatched Back To The Future II and III. I rewatched the first one a year ago. I loved those movies when I was younger

Just awkward set into the future into 2015, while in 2026.

 

[Baemono]

Does Zedd from Power Rangers count?

I was so scared of him, despite his goofiness

 

[Trilobit]

I realize this is one of the worst versions of Kong, but I watched this movie endlessly as a kid.

I wonder why...................

I have some scene from a KK movie seared into my brain. A guy is trying to escape in a tower, but Kong grabs him and cracks his back by breaking him like a twig.

It just felt and looked so abnormal to have your spine split like that.

I watched Jaws for the first time four years ago and that movie is amazing. I can understand why people love this film

It's absolutely great. I love the scene where they're just drinking and talking in the boat. I could have a whole movie of them sailing around the world and talking shit.

 

[GymWolf]

The Wheelers in Return to Oz scared the shit out of me.

Same movie: Princess Mombi

Actually the whole movie was nightmare fuel.
The fuck was wrong with my parents letting me watch that?

That fucking movie is scarier than 90% of modern horrors.

Wonderful movie.

 

[Peggies]

Wonderful movie.

Absolutely!

The producers must have hated kids.

And all the parents who showed it to their kids were clearly clueless and thought it to be a fun sequel of the "Wizard of Oz".

 

[Ikutachi]

Cookie monster maybe.

 

[John Marston]

I'm old so

 

[freemandos]

(Yes, I watched the original when I was a kid)

 

[GeekyDad]

I'm old so

Forgot about him! He was so scary as a kid.

 

[Duellist]

This mother fucker right here. Nightmare fuel because it could happen.

 

[Solarstrike]

Invaders From Mars (1986):

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Giger's ALIEN.

Always Giger's ALIEN.

 

[Deus Mortis]

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Used to read the Norewgian version (Iskalde Grøss) of Tales from the Crypt comics as a kid. Was the highlight of the month for sure.

I wish there were more movies where the directors hate the kids. I think it's just healthy for kids to experience some level of trauma in their childhoods. Makes for fun memories later on.

I wouldn't say my favorite - but the one that scared me the most was this guy -

Killer Bees
Watched two Killer Bee movies and then watched a documentary and found out they were real - it was like finding out Freddie was real.

Y'know, now that you mention it. After watching the movie Anaconda I always thought anacondas would be a far bigger problem than they've been in my life. Can have something to do with me living in Northern Europe.

[Sticks]

Hard to say. Jaws made sure you checked the waters lol, even though we have no sharks here. Tremor worms had us jumping across concrete lol

Take a wild guess

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

Falkor a monster?!?!?



Why yes... yes he is a monster.

 

[poodaddy]

I didn't do scary stuff as a kid.

As a teenager I was way into vampires tho

Well, they were called pocket monsters right? So that works. You win cutest monster for sure lol.

It's honestly tough to choose as I just love love love movie monsters, always have.

I'm gonna say Predator just because no one else is mentioning it, but they're all my beautiful children and I really don't play favorites.

These guys from the Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon:
