The Scariest Monsters on Film to Sink Your Teeth into This Halloween

Boris Karloff as the Frankenstein monster or Frankenstein for short

Dr. Frankenstein's monster is not exactly creepy. He's not totally evil. He's not completely innocent either. This big lug, with his clod-hopper boot-like shoes, thick chest, lengthy arms and legs is among the best horror creatures ever created for celluloid. Don't miss him speak in Bride of Frankenstein. Not only can he be "goood" but he can also be "baaad". Whether you love Karloff's Frankenstein monster or you're afraid of him, you should not pass up the opportunity to see him reek havoc this Halloween.

Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula

Lugosi's Dracula can give you a long stare, make you do his bidding, and give you a pair of fang-like bite marks in your neck. There's no sympathy for this character. He's out for blood. And, this bad boy "never drinks... wine." Even though the man only appeared in one Dracula film, he made quite an impression.

Dracula (1931)

The Alien and its mother, the Alien Queen

These beasts are among the most terrifying ever conjured up for the silver screen. They have a snapping mouth for a tongue. A head that is mysteriously shaped after a certain male sex organ. And, you don't dare kill them. They have acid for blood. Your only savior in these two terrific films is one strong woman, Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver). Otherwise, it's really unwise to watch these films with the lights off.
