10 Horror Movies With The Best Monster Reveals

creature features like predator and

alien are some of the most beloved in

the world of horror not just because of

their compelling characters and

incredible action but the remarkable

design of their antagonists but in many

ways how the monster is revealed is just

as significant as the monster itself of

course introducing the monster is never

easy if the timing special effects or

even lighting is off the final result

can be disastrous but if the monster's

Grand reveal is pulled off perfectly it

stays with moviegoers forever speaking

of revealing monsters I'm Tilly from

what culture horror and these are 10

horror movies with the best monster

reveals number 10. pumpkin head pumpkin

head in pumpkin head grieving father Ed

Harley unleashes a demon onto the teens

who killed his son recognizing the evil

he's brought into the world Ed has a

change of heart and vows to send the

dark entity back to hell since pumpkin

head sounds like a Care Bears villain

nobody was expecting much from the

titular monster but let's not forget

this film was the directorial debut of

special effects Master stand Winston

responsible for the mesmerizing

animatronics in the thing Jurassic Park

and Aliens Winston has a knack for

drumming up terrifyingly lifelike

creatures although pumpkin head's design

is incredible his reveal is extra

memorable with his wolverine-like claws

towering height pasty wet skin and

layering face it's hard to think of a

more intimidating movie monster than

this roided up xenomorph pumpkinhead's

intro is further accentuated by the

effective use of sound or rather a lack

of every time the demon is near a

slithering noise can be heard which

resembles the movements of spiders or

snakes but when pumpkin head appears on

screen for the first time he doesn't

make a peep catching the viewers

completely off guard number 9. the

enormous alien deadly spawn move over

Tremors deadly spawn did the whole

borrowing monster worm shtick nearly a

decade earlier this underrated Indie

opens with alien tadpoles crash landing

on a small town after making their nest

in a dank basement the extraterrestrials

quickly evolve into multi-headed slugs

with multiple rows of serrated teeth as

the creepy Critters begin gobbling up

the town's folk a boy called Charles

takes it upon himself to destroy them

although he manages to kill several of

the carnivorous cretins Charles deduces

they'll keep coming unless he murders

the queen after he tricks the alien

mother into swallowing a bunch of

explosives she blows up seemingly ending

the threat just as it looks like things

are wrapping up the hill beside

Charles's home lifts up revealing a

mind-bogglingly-sized spawn for the

record the queen which Charles barely

defeated was only six foot long this

Beastie on the other hand is slightly

smaller than a mountain so how does

mankind defeat it well

um they don't the Titan lets out a

defiant Roar just before the screen cuts

to Black and the credits roll because

there was no sequel it's safe to say

things didn't end well for Humanity

number eight Pyramid Head Silent Hill

until fairly recently it seemed like

movies adapted from video games were

destined to suck having said that

there's been a few bright spots over the

years including Silent Hill it may have

been panned upon release but this

adaptation of konami's survival horror

series quickly became a cult classic Not

only was Silent Hill a proper scare fest

in its own right Gamers were fairly

impressed by how faithful it was to the

source material no aspect of the movie

demonstrates this fact better than the

franchise's most iconic figure Pyramid

Head regarded as among the most

unsettling characters in gaming many

suspected the film would fail miserably

to capture the helmeted monster's Menace

boy were we wrong when Pyramid Head

first appears with his rusted sword

scraping across the floor it's

impossible not to feel the chill rub

down your spine although viewers can

become desensitized after seeing a movie

monster multiple times Pyramid Head

never loses his power since viewers are

left quaking in their boots every time

he re-emerges

number 7. the doppelganger Lake Mungo

Lake Mungo is a quote-unquote

documentary which details the tragic

drowning of 16 year old Alice Palmer

although her demise is ruled as an

accident her family start experiencing

Supernatural events urging them and the

filmmakers to dig into Alice's past

where they uncover her double life the

Paranormal occurrences are initially

spooky but are soon proven to be hoaxes

after this point everyone involved in

the dark is justifiably skeptical

anytime there are mentions of ghosts or

people communicating with the dead

because of this people are completely

thrown off by that moment while looking

through Alice's phone the family

discovers a video of her walking through

Lake Mungo where she sees a mysterious

figure as the footage freezes it's clear

the person who approaches Alice is her

own doppelganger but this figure doesn't

just look like Alice she is the spitting

image of her corpse right down to her

bloated face and closed right eye this

moment is never explained but seems to

symbolize Alice knew she was destined to

die soon although there are plenty of

Supernatural moments in Lake Mungo that

can be explained away there's no

rational way to interpret this encounter

number six the mother Barbarian in

Barbarian strangers Tess and Keith

realize they have double booked at a

rental house with nowhere else to go the

two reluctantly decide to stay after

discovering a secret chamber in the

cellar Keith heads through where he

finds a vast tunnel when Tess hears him

screaming she dashes down where she sees

Keith crawling in pain before they have

a chance to escape a naked woman

credited as the mother lunges from the

darkness and crushes Keith's skull the

mother's introduction is incredibly

effective for two reasons firstly rather

than lingering on her the scene Cuts

away immediately after she smashes

Keith's head to a pulp transitioning the

scene during the scariest moment without

explanation leaves viewers utterly fraud

even though the next few scenes aren't

frightening viewers are left on edge

still trying to process what they just

saw the other reason why the mother

shook viewers is because nobody had an

inkling watching would look like

barbarians trailers and promos gave

nothing away so viewers didn't know if

the creature lurking under the house was

a werewolf demon ghost vampire alien or

in this case a malformed inbred

monstrosity

number 5. kayako Juan The Grudge in due

on the garage Katsuya tokunaga and his

family move into their new home which

formerly belonged to the sayakies the

tokunagos were unaware that the sayakies

were murdered in a rage causing them to

be reborn as murderous unreal ghosts the

most notable of these Spirits is kayako

who is constantly performing a deeply

unnerving death rattle upon slaying her

first few victims kayako remains unseen

since she takes the form of a shadow

only when she murders katsuya's sister

Hitomi the viewers get their first

glimpse of the enraged Phantom after

Hitomi leaves her brother's cursed home

she's unaware that kayako followed her

home when Hitomi learns that kayako is

pursuing her she hides in bed suddenly

the blanket Rises up implying there's

something in bed with her looking under

the sheets itomi is greeted by kayako's

vacant expression after letting out her

iconic death rattle kayako kills Hitomi

by seemingly absorbing her into the bed

as freaky as this moment is it hits

harder in hindsight since hitomi's body

is never found unlike most of kayako's

victims who return themselves as on Rios

Hitomi vanishes off the face of the

Earth number four Deborah The Taking of

Deborah Logan The Taking of Deborah

Logan opens with filmmaker Mia prepping

her Alzheimer's documentary initially

Mia's film crew intend to record the

day-to-day activities of Deborah Logan

who has been diagnosed with dementia but

after Deborah performs superhuman acts

her daughter Sarah and Mia suspect she's

been possessed upon further research Mia

discovers Deborah is being mind

controlled by a deceased Satanist who

plans to transfer his Essence into a

younger body after Deborah kidnapped a

cancer-riddled girl called Cara she

Ventures into the mines hoping to

complete the ritual as Sarah locates her

possessed mother Deborah snarls at her

dislocating her entire lower jaw like a

snake upon this site it's obvious The

Satanist has complete control over

Deborah's body and mind but it gets

worse after Sarah and Mia momentarily

lose Deborah they searched through every

Cavern to find her after cornering her

they are utterly horrified to see

Sarah's mother gorging on the young girl

with Kara's entire ahead in golf down

Deborah's throat although the taking of

Deborah Logan has its fair share of

disturbing content this shot is pure

nightmare fuel number three the shark

jaws it's baffling how mediocre horror

films focus on cramming in as many

scares as possible when Jaws proved less

is more nearly 50 years ago because the

shark animatronic kept malfunctioning

throughout production and admittedly

looks a little janky Steven Spielberg

kept the man-eating BEAST's screen time

to a minimum this decision worked out

beautifully since it made every

appearance of our toothy friend count

especially their debut at the movie's

halfway point Chief Brody Chucks charm

into the sea hoping to get the nasty

fishy's attention because this sequence

is in broad daylight and the camera is

focused on Brody nobody sees it coming

when a 25 foot long great white bursts

to the surface bearing its gnashing

teeth just to ensure this scene is said

in viewers Minds forever it concludes

with Brody delivering the movie's Best

Line you're going to need a bigger a

boat ironically this moment proved to be

too shocking for some when an early cut

of Jaws was shown to an audience they

were so frightened by the shark's

appearance they missed Brody's one-liner

as a result Spielberg extended the

sequence so there was more time between

the shark popping out and Brody speaking

although there's been plenty of great

monster reveals over the years Jaws is

among the few that proved to be so

effective the filmmakers were forced to

tweak the entire scene number 2.

crawlers The Descent even though Neil

Marshall has had an incredibly diverse

career there's no question The Descent

is the British filmmaker at the top of

his game after nearly two decades the

Creature Feature has lost none of its

bite due to its claustrophobic

atmosphere and Bone chilling tension but

if anything stands out it has to be the

Crawlers viewers who haven't Revisited

The Descent since its release should

still remember the outright fear they

felt when these Subterranean humanoids

appeared about 40 minutes in our

Ensemble discover a den composed of

hundreds of animal skeletons as they

start screaming for help a crawler

reveals itself for killing one of the

characters rather than appearing with

some big Fanfare the carnivorous cave

dweller pops into shot with no warning

what really sells this moment is the

fact the actresses hadn't a clue what

the monsters looked like prior to

filming so if you thought the characters

look genuinely terrified during this

scene that's because they weren't acting

although the crawler's design is not

exactly spectacular the way they reveal

themselves is among the greatest jump

scares in the history of Cinema number

one Moda the ritual in the ritual Luke

and his mates head to Sweden to pay

their respects to their recently

murdered friend after venturing Into the

Wilderness they discovered Nordic runes

a headless Effigy and other things that

figuratively tell them to get the hell

out of there when things looked like

they couldn't get worse the four friends

discover a creature is hunting them so

little is revealed about this entity

it's impossible to guess what it looks

like because this monster is built up

for so long you'd think it couldn't

really live up to those expectations but

when Luke comes face to face with this

Eldritch Behemoth viewers know exactly

what he's feeling since they themselves

experience the same level of fear and

awe this yotna that is known as Moder

has a towering elk body plant-like

exterior and jagad vertebra jutting out

of her spine instead of a head she has a

decapitated torso with antlers for arms

however the most disturbing thing is how

Moda has a cloaked figure with glowing

eyes and humanoid hands jutting out of

her crotch and that's our list what
