    Likely the best monster as far as the "never wanna meet one" Category.

    But...for pure nasty....I'm gonna go with "The Thing"

    pan6467 a triangle in a circular world.

    I am partial to Pinhead (the Hellraiser series being far more superior than the other slashers of the 80's IMHO).

    But the one that gives me chills and I need to leave the lights on for are the ones you can not see, they just are, such as Blair Witch, Death of a Ghost Hunter, The Legend of Hell House (before the great Roddy McDowell figures it all out), Rose Red (which is a rip off of the Haunting series of remakes) and there are a few others. The ORIGINAL Omen series, the Legacy, (so many of the 70's movies that dealt with the supernatural, satanism and just freak you out shit).

    Movies like "The Game" with Micheal Douglass that can truly happen, The Firm, Sandra Bullock and "the Net", Keifer Sutherland's movie "The Vanishing".

    As a child, I wasn't haunted by The Boogey Man, who hid in closets and attacked you while you slept. My tormentor was a creature that I invented, called ToToTo. He was a half-man, half-bull creature that walked around in the bushes outside our house at night, peeking in the windows and tapping on them. He got the name "ToToTo" from a sound he made while walking or running. Each time he took a step, he vocalized the syllable "Toe," and he liked to take steps three at a time. So, if he ran three quick steps, he would say, "ToToTo."

    It used to scare me so badly, that even today, my older siblings won't bring it up.

    As a child I would always dream of a giant gorilla, not King Kong sized, but really big taking me out of the window. Sometimes a giant would be chasing me. Either of these was scarier to me than any other monster. So giants, I guess.

    There was a movie I saw as a kid that had a mud monster in it. It was humanoid, boneless, and made of mud.
    For some reason, the only way to stop it was by tricking it into the ocean, where the salt water killed it.
    I've never been able to find the movie since the early 70's.

    Sounds like "The World Beyond"....almost as good as the day of the Trifids.

    I too was a pretty big fan of the descent creatures. Also vampires, 30 days of night style and zombies from 28 days later were also pretty extreme.

    Plants are creepy, like the corpse flower from Australia. It's 6ft high and smells like a dead body. :p

    From time to time, I envision this creature in my nightmares wearing a Bengals Forever Snuggie, sporting knee-high socks and rugby shoes, and chasing me with blunt-tipped scissors proclaiming I must be sacrificed to The Angry Uterus God.
    I wake up in a cold sweat right before I'm skewered.

    Crazy, right? Like there's really a creature like that out there somewhere.
