00:00Or, you will just leave us be. I will take him, only him, and I will have my long rest.
00:12And you will all live to grow and thrive and lead happy lives.
00:20Welcome to WatchMojo Español, I am Jackie and today we will present you our selection of the top 30 most terrifying monsters of all time.
00:40Number 30. Pumpkinhead
00:51That other man can have Pumpkinhead conjured up to take revenge.
00:56When an afflicted father makes a faustic deal with a local witch, he unleashes Pumpkinhead in the city.
01:03Pumpkinhead is a movie of cult creatures that involves witchcraft and revenge, and that was the origin of the nightmares of some children who saw its gloomy cover on the corridors of video clubs.
01:17Personifying revenge, the acts of retribution of Pumpkinhead inflict pain to those who summoned them.
01:24Directed by the master of make-up, Stan Winston, we are surprised that the practical effects of the monster are the most outstanding component.
01:33His unforgettable make-up includes sharp teeth, reptile features and big white eyes.
01:47Number 29. Gabriel. Evil.
02:03To begin with, the cinematographic twins tend to be creepy, but this movie takes things to another level.
02:11Evil guides us through several paths about who, or what, could be Gabriel.
02:16Like a serial killer disturbed by those we already know, or an imaginary friend who takes life.
02:23However, the real truth is that he is the twin parasite of the protagonist Madison.
02:30We share the same brain.
02:35I didn't ask to be tethered to you.
02:38You don't deserve your body.
02:40His brain still lives in his head, and forces him to kill, even taking control of his body in several points.
02:48Personified as a disfigured figure and wrapped in a cape, Gabriel is a very powerful antagonist.
02:56But there is nothing as strange and shocking as seeing file images of when he was still tied to Madison.
03:03Number 28. The Tall Man.
03:12It is difficult to describe what is really the monster at the center of this innovative horror thriller of 2014.
03:20Is it a curse? Is it a demonic entity?
03:23All we know is that it is invincible, and that if a person has sexual relations with one of his goals, that person becomes a new goal.
03:34Although the Tall Man is probably his most memorable incarnation, it can take the form of any human being, even someone you know.
03:42And only the damned can see it.
03:45The horror is almost like an endless game of discovering it. Once it catches you, it is almost impossible to escape.
03:53The fact that we never really see what it does to its victims, only the destroyed and bloody sequels, leaves a lot to the imagination.
04:10Number 27. Pinhead.
04:15You opened it. We came.
04:18The original story of Clive Barker does not name him or any of his happy group of hedonistic demons.
04:26They were simply the Cenobites. But Pinhead has a special charisma. Could it be his talent for poetry? Or is it his gentlemanly behavior?
04:37No, definitely they are the nails that nailed him in the head and in the face.
04:42When you have experienced all the pleasure and pain that exists in this and all the other possible dimensions, human suffering probably seems trivial.
04:53But Pinhead's clinical approach and his almost lucid delight in suffering make him a villain like no other.
05:07Number 26. Clover. Cloverfield.
05:18Like with the shark in Shark, the less you see this monster, the better.
05:24Even in the brief glimpses we have, the villain covered and with teeth of this jewel of the found footage is horrible.
05:33Jumping over the city with ease, Clover is like a disturbed child destroying an anthill. And we are the ants.
05:42Although never mentioned in the movie, the creators affectionately called him Clover.
05:47The designer of Neville Page creatures compared the monster with a scared newborn creature, without reason or empathy, only fear and anguish.
05:58Clover is clumsy but effective when it comes to causing destruction.
06:02In the end we do not know where or what it is, but we know what it is capable of.
06:19Number 25. The werewolf. An American werewolf in London.
06:24I'm a werewolf. A werewolf.
06:28Werewolves certainly had already been made on the big screen before this movie.
06:34In those cases, usually some skins carefully applied to the face, hands and feet of a human actor worked.
06:42But those who appear in an American werewolf in London are not only creatures that inhabit the forest and stalk in the shadows and kill theatrically and without blood.
06:53They are beastly beasts with anger and fury in their yellow eyes.
06:57They sweep the streets of the city regardless of being seen or known while tearing their victims limb by limb.
07:05And when you become a werewolf in this movie, it is a painful and grotesque transformation.
07:23Number 24. Jean Jacket. Nope.
07:37The best villains have an unexpected touch.
07:40The extraterrestrial threat in the center of the horror of science fiction by Jordan Peele is as untraditional as it seems.
07:48And that's what makes her so scary.
07:51Even when she reveals herself in her true form, she is majestic and elegant.
07:56Just don't look her in the eyes.
07:59Her ironic nickname, Jean Jacket, contradicts her wild and ruthless hunger.
08:04When disguised as a cloud, the creature does not devour its prey individually.
08:09Jean Jacket likes to eat.
08:12By swallowing its prey and any inanimate object in the surroundings,
08:16the alien allows its food to live in its digestive system before being crushed and spitting anything that is not meat or blood.
08:37Number 23. Pazuzu. The exorcist.
08:42I'm Damien Karras.
08:43And I'm the devil. Now kindly undo these straps.
08:47Based on the Sumerian demon of the bad winds, this cinematic monster has such a massive presence
08:54that it was necessary the work of three different artists to bring it to life.
08:59Linda Blair plays the girl possessed by the demon.
09:03The winner of the Academy Award and smoker for a long time, Mercedes McCambridge,
09:08provided her chilling voice.
09:11The actress Aileen Deeds performed the most dangerous or obscene acts instead of Blair,
09:17and perhaps the most notable thing was the face of the demon.
09:21The designs of the makeup master Dick Smith for Blair were quite terrifying,
09:27but those flashes of Pazuzu's pale face in all its splendor
09:31cause nightmares to viewers to this day.
09:41Shut up, bastard!
09:45I command you!
09:46Number 22. Whamuel. The Host.
09:53The monster movie by director Bong Joon-ho is a classic story with modern twists.
09:59Whamuel is a mutant creature that lives in the Han River of South Korea,
10:04created by the illegal spilling of chemical products and a subsequent government cover-up.
10:10The horrors caused by the man and the conspiracies of The Host have nothing to do with Whamuel.
10:16With its scary mixture of amphibious and fish features, Whamuel is a terror both on land and in water.
10:23Although the result is not scientifically accurate,
10:26it makes you stop when you realize that the movie was based on a real story of chemical spills.
10:34What are you doing? Get angry!
10:36Number 21. The Predator.
10:44The paranoia of the Cold War and the terrors of outer space
10:47come together in this 1987 film by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
10:53An American military envoy is stalked and chased in a South American jungle
10:58by an alien creature equipped with thermal images,
11:02and the last thing in armament.
11:04If that wasn't scary enough,
11:07the design of the creature, made by the master effects artist Stan Winston,
11:13is an impious creation.
11:15He really was a rival to the normally unperturbed Schwarzenegger.
11:20The history of the species of predators has spread in the media since then,
11:25but his first unforgettable appearance made the public writhe in fear and disgust.
11:32I'm here! Come on! Do it now! Kill me!
11:36Number 20. The Twisted Man.
11:40Balak is the main antagonist of the series The Conjuring,
11:44and takes his most terrifying form in The Conjuring 2 as the Twisted Man.
11:53There was a crooked man!
11:58It is a strange creature with a large body, grayish skin,
12:03and a wide smile full of sharp teeth.
12:07But perhaps the most terrifying thing is the way it moves.
12:11When Billy, the Twisted Man, appears to him,
12:14he walks in a very erratic and supernatural way.
12:18The creature is played by a Spanish actor named Javier Botet.
12:22Botet has been chosen to play numerous cinematic creatures
12:27due to his height and hypermobility,
12:30which is a symptom of his Marfan syndrome.
12:33Botet does an exceptional job as the Twisted Man,
12:37creating what could be the most terrifying monster in a franchise full of these.
12:43Here I come.
12:49Am I talking to the spirit that's oppressing this family?
12:52Number 19. The Dementors.
12:54Harry Potter franchise.
12:56Introduced in The Prisoner of Azkaban
12:59and appearing sporadically throughout the franchise,
13:02the Dementors are one of the strangest monsters in literature for young adults.
13:09Nobody really knows what a Dementor is.
13:12All we know is that they are creatures similar to spectra
13:15that guard the most famous prison in the magical world.
13:27Their physical appearance is quite surprising,
13:30but what they do is the most terrifying.
13:34With the help of their circular and open mouths,
13:37the Dementors slide towards their victims and literally suck their souls.
13:45Are you serious? Any minute the Dementors are going to perform the kiss.
13:48You mean they're going to kill him.
13:50No, it's worse. Much worse.
13:53They're going to suck out his soul.
13:55A Dementor is terrifying, and much more a large group of them.
13:59There is a reason why even the most stubborn criminals fear them with all their being.
14:06Number 18. The Wendigo.
14:08Antlers.
14:09The Wendigo is a mythological creature
14:12that is part of the folklore of the Native Americans.
14:15It has appeared in numerous pieces of pop culture over the years,
14:20generally as a kind of large creature similar to a beast that feeds on humans.
14:26A terrifying version of the Wendigo appears in Antlers.
14:30Is that the kind of thing you taught in California?
14:36I don't think that's going to fly here.
14:38The physical design of this monster is both imaginative and wonderfully made.
14:45Towards the end of the movie, the character of Kerry Russell
14:48meets the Wendigo in the dark and sees a human face on his own head.
14:54That image alone is worth the price of the entrance,
14:57but the rest of the creature is equally terrifying.
15:01Suffice to say that it is the last thing we would like to see inside the halo of a flashlight.
15:14Number 17. The Clown Krampus.
15:17We don't know what people think about these things.
15:21The Clown doesn't spend much time on screen in Krampus,
15:24but his design is unforgettable.
15:30It consists of a very large horizontal body, similar to a worm,
15:35but the most imaginative element of the monster is undoubtedly his face.
15:39The Clown has a face very similar to an old porcelain doll
15:44and a huge and fleshy mouth that opens enough to devour humans.
15:55The contrast between the fleshy muscle and the porcelain face is grotesque
16:01and offers a tempting vision of the creature's biology.
16:05The practical effects and sound design are also fantastic,
16:10which makes a terrifying monster even more so.
16:15Number 16. The Insidious Franchise.
16:19Despite its certainly ridiculous name,
16:22the Lip Pen Face Demon is one of the most terrifying of the 2010s.
16:34On the one hand, it is the central part of the franchise,
16:37but it is also the most terrifying of the series.
16:41On the other hand, it is the central part of one of the most effective overtones
16:46in the history of modern terror.
16:48The demon appears right behind Josh's shoulder,
16:51accompanied by a surprisingly effective grunt in the midst of a silence full of tension.
17:05Its design is quite typical of demonic demons or creatures,
17:09with a face and red and black nipples.
17:12Regardless, its design is still very effective
17:16and the Lip Pen Face Demon helped to turn the Insidious franchise
17:20into the mega box office hit it became.
17:24Number 15. Jotun. The Ritual.
17:27Who knew that this modest British film
17:30would give us one of the most effective monsters of the decade?
17:34Jotun is another creature similar to the Wendigo,
17:37which appears in its entirety at the end of The Ritual.
17:41It doesn't spend much time on screen,
17:43but the time it does is at the same time dark and impressive.
17:56We don't even know how to describe it,
17:58it's like a human, a bear and a moose
18:01that merged into a grotesque mass of limbs
18:04that rises 6 meters in the air.
18:12The physical design of this monster is incredible,
18:15with its hanging human arms,
18:17its torso-shaped antlers and its bright yellow eyes as highlighted points.
18:23We don't know what it is, but we don't want to know either.
18:27Number 14. The Tracers.
18:30The Deceasant franchise.
18:32Caves are a terrifying place.
18:35We instinctively fear them because they are dark, deep and labyrinthine.
18:40Oh, and there's also the fact that we don't know what hides in their depths,
18:45watching from the shadows, waiting to attack.
19:00The Deceasant begins in a terrifying way,
19:03but even worse when the Tracers get involved.
19:07They are humanoid creatures that have lived in dark caves for a long time.
19:21This has turned them into territorial monsters and cannibals
19:25that violently defend their home from external visitors.
19:29That is, speleologists who wait to test the adventure.
19:33Finding a bear inside a cave is terrifying?
19:37Finding these creatures is definitely a nightmare.
19:42Number 13. Mutant Bear. Annihilation.
19:45With a story centered on the mixture of DNA,
19:48we expected some design of an imaginative creature.
19:52Do you think it's a crossbreed?
19:55We can't crossbreed between different species.
19:59Well, we certainly have that and something else.
20:02In what could be said to be the most memorable scene of the movie,
20:06a mutant bear comes to sniff the vulnerable protagonists.
20:11The creature is a horrible mixture between black bear and human.
20:15Its body is similar to that of a bear,
20:17but the skin of its face has rotted leaving an exposed skull.
20:22And the most terrifying part is perhaps its fusion with Kass.
20:26The roar of the bear mixes with the human screams of Kass
20:30and it seems as if Kass's skull had fused with the bear's.
20:42Both the sound and the physical design of this creature are masterful
20:46and they combine to create one of the most unforgettable cinematic monsters of recent times.
20:54Number 12. The Babadook.
21:04This horror movie by Jennifer Kent caused great sensation when it was released in 2014
21:10and many called it a modern masterpiece.
21:13There are a series of factors that explain its strong critical reception,
21:17including the creature's design.
21:20The Babadook is a creepy monster that appears with huge claw-shaped appendages
21:25and a ghostly white humanoid face.
21:28It doesn't help that it often stays in the shadows, letting our imagination fly.
21:34Perhaps even more terrifying than its physical design is what it represents.
21:39The Babadook is a metaphor for Amelia's pain,
21:42so its presence feels very present even when it's not on screen.
21:54It's a pretty intense movie and all thanks to its protagonist creature.
21:59Number 11. The Angels of Death, a franchise by A Quiet Place.
22:04The first A Quiet Place was one of the most popular horror movies of the late 2010s,
22:11and that is largely due to its monsters.
22:14Not so much for their design, although it is certainly effective,
22:18but for what they do and represent.
22:27With the help of a hypersensitive ear, the monsters swing on anything that makes noise.
22:34This makes everyone live in constant fear and paranoia,
22:38forced to monitor each and every activity to detect even a minimum of sound.
22:45Its danger is established in the first 5 minutes of the movie,
22:50when a creature with long legs hits the young Baal in front of his family's eyes.
22:56It is an incredibly successful formula and has given rise to numerous and inferior imitators.
23:15Number 10. The Blair Witch, a franchise by The Blair Witch.
23:19Although at first it never appeared on the screen,
23:22The Blair Witch is one of the most terrifying cinematic monsters of all time.
23:28What we do not see always gives more fear.
23:36It allows our imagination to fill the voids,
23:39and our imagination is always more afraid of what can be conjured through practical effects.
23:45It also helps that the Blair Witch project is built with so much mastery.
23:51The inventive camera work and the solid performance convinced the world that it was about genuine images,
23:58at least for a while.
24:00We barely know anything about the Blair Witch, her story, what she wants, etc.
24:05All we know is that she causes incredible paranoia in her victims,
24:09and that certainly is enough for us.
24:14Nothing happened, I'm just very hungry, very tired, and I'm very scared and I just want to go home, ok?
24:20Number 9. The Shark, Shark.
24:23Steven Spielberg has been considered for a long time as one of the best directors in the history of cinema,
24:30and became a well-known name with Shark.
24:34The filming process of the film was notoriously horrible,
24:38even with a mechanical shark that never seemed to work.
24:42But Spielberg achieved it with some imaginative cinematographic techniques.
25:01The Blair Witch project clearly took note of Spielberg's playbook,
25:06since it rarely shows the shark.
25:09The first-person underwater shots of the creature and the music that accompanies them are iconic,
25:16and Spielberg did not run away from the bloody carnage it caused.
25:20Of course, the film works exceptionally well, even when the shark is on screen.
25:27It still seems incredible to this day,
25:30you just have to watch the unbearable scene of Quint's death to realize it.
25:41Number 8. Rexy, Jurassic Park franchise.
25:44We can't exaggerate, the appearance of the T-Rex in Jurassic Park
25:49is one of the most emblematic scenes in the history of cinema.
25:53Say again?
25:55We have a T-Rex.
25:56Spielberg attacks once again,
25:59creating the largest and most terrifying representation of a dinosaur.
26:04The credit is also for Stan Winston and his team of special effects artists.
26:10They created an animatronic T-Rex that measured 6 meters high and weighed more than 7 tons.
26:17The result is pure cinematographic magic.
26:24Boy, my head been right all the time.
26:26Everyone who has seen Jurassic Park has good memories of the torrential rain,
26:31the shaking water, the thunder and tremors that approached
26:36and the face of the T-Rex appearing over the fence.
26:40And the roar, oh my God, that roar.
26:48Number 7. Conde Orlando.
26:51Number 7. Conde Orlock.
26:53Nosferatu.
26:54It is surprising how Conde Orlock has resisted the test of time.
26:59Conceived and filmed at the beginning of the 20th century,
27:02Orlock is still a disturbing symbol of the horror genre.
27:06Although the character is based on Count Dracula,
27:10or rather, in a copy of Count Dracula,
27:13it has a little in common with other versions of the iconic character.
27:17Its much more demonic appearance,
27:19its tall and large body,
27:21its pointed claws and this incredibly creepy face
27:25has caused a century of nightmares.
27:28We tend to think of silent films as rough predecessors of modern cinema,
27:34but Orlock's design shows the opposite.
27:42It is innovative and best of all, it is still effective.
27:47Number 6. The Pale Man.
27:49The Fauna Labyrinth.
27:51Guillermo del Toro is known for his designs of fantastic creatures,
27:55but this has to be his masterpiece.
27:58In other words, this is a twisted monster.
28:08His white skin hangs from his face,
28:10and most famously,
28:12his eyeballs are in the palms of his huge hands with claws.
28:17It is a master class on the design of imaginative monsters.
28:21The Pale Man is played by a contortionist named Doug Jones,
28:26and does an exceptional job with the slow and erratic movements of the creature.
28:32And the worst of all is that this thing eats children.
28:36The whole sequence is taken directly from a nightmare,
28:40from the design of the monster to the way he chases Ophelia down a long corridor.
28:46It's something great, horrible, but great.
29:00Number 5. The Fly.
29:02The Fly.
29:03David Cronenberg is a master of body horror,
29:07a subgenre that focuses on the grotesque disfiguration of the human body.
29:19And The Fly is his masterpiece.
29:22In this, poor Seth Brantle begins to slowly become the insect
29:27thanks to a scientific experiment that went terribly wrong.
29:32The effects of the creature were in charge of Chris Wallace,
29:35who won the Academy Award for Best Makeup.
29:38He turns Jeff Goldblum into a horrible monster,
29:42and Seth's final transition from human to fly
29:45is one of the most disgusting things ever presented on the screen.
29:50The creature itself is a disgusting work of art,
29:53winner of an Oscar to be precise,
29:56who says that the Academy does not recognize gender films.
30:00Number 4. Pennywise. It.
30:03The best thing about Pennywise is that he adopts all kinds of different forms,
30:08which guarantees that everyone gets scared at least a little.
30:16It is the central point of his character.
30:18Are you afraid of creepy clowns with sharp teeth and strange eyes?
30:23Well, that's his main form.
30:26Are you afraid of lepers whose limbs are slowly rotting?
30:30Ready!
30:31What about the headless corpses that chase you through dark corridors?
30:35It's also here.
30:37Surely this film does not contain the greatest fear of all.
30:41A small group of intergalactic orbs that cause instantaneous madness
30:45and appear from split clown heads?
30:49Guess what?
30:51Pennywise's mocking personality is also disconcerting
30:55and Bill Skarsgård does a wonderful job with the most malicious tendencies of the character.
31:02Number 3. The Thing.
31:04The Thing.
31:05In reality, we never see The Thing.
31:08It is an alien entity that takes the physical form of those to whom Pennywise refers.
31:14In reality, we never see The Thing.
31:16It is an alien entity that takes the physical form of those to whom Pennywise refers.
31:22And in this case, a group of isolated scientists who work in Antarctica.
31:27It isn't Penny!
31:40Although we never see the monster itself, we see the grotesque abominations it creates.
31:45Robert Bottin took care of the practical effects of the film
31:49and even to this day it is considered one of the best in the industry.
31:54Its creatures are a combination of creativity and disgust,
31:58often accompanied by many tentacles and a viscous substance.
32:06Let's take, for example, the human head that detaches from its body and becomes a spider.
32:12How did this happen to them? We don't know.
32:15But we're glad you did.
32:18THE RETURN OF THE KING
32:24Number 2. She-Love. The Lord of the Rings. The Return of the King.
32:29Although She-Love is nothing more than a giant spider,
32:32it is still one of the most terrifying cinematic monsters in recent history.
32:38It works thanks in large part to the attention that director Peter Jackson draws from the character.
32:49We hear about She-Love in The Two Towers, but we don't get to her until well into The Return of the King.
32:56And even when we do, her appearance is preceded by a creepy cave full of skeletons,
33:03corpses of hanging animals and huge nets.
33:07She-Love is one of the most dangerous creatures in the trilogy
33:11and almost finishes the whole mission when she stabs Frodo in the stomach.
33:19If it weren't for Sam's quick thinking, they would have been finished.
33:30We haven't reached the end yet, but almost.
33:32Just remember to subscribe to our channel and activate the bell to receive notifications of our latest videos.
33:39Very well, let's go to the end.
33:42Number 1. The Plants. The Happening.
33:45Say what you want about this silly movie, but you can't deny the horrible powers of these plants.
33:59It is a testimony of the talent of M. Night Shyamalan as a horror director.
34:04No, but seriously.
34:06Number 1. The Xenomorphs. Alien franchise.
34:10After all, the first Alien is just a horror movie in space.
34:15Ridley Scott's masterpiece of science fiction horror
34:19contains one of the greatest cinematic monsters of all time in its stellar creature.
34:26We found this laying there.
34:30No blood.
34:32No damage.
34:35Nothing.
