Favorite Top 3 Monsters

[king_ghidorah]

Hey all, I don't know if there is a discussion already about this.  I couldn't find it, if so. 

I am just curious though, what are your top 3 favorite monsters of all time?

Mine are probably...

Gamera
The Gillman
King Kong

And I guess I'll throw out a few runners up, Hellboy, Swamp Thing, the Ymir, Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolfman/ An American Werewolf in London, the Rhedosaurus, Godzilla, the Molemen, The Predator, the Aliens, Brundlefly, the giant bear from The Prophecy, Gwoemul (the monster from The Host) the insects from Mimic, Nomac from Blade 2, Pumpkinhead, Two Face from TDK, the demon from Curse of the Demon, Verthimax Pejorative (the dragon from Dragonslayer) and the insects from Starship Troopers.

Godzilla
Gremlins

Not exactly golden oldies for the last two, but I still love 'em.

The Gillman
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
The Metaluna Mutant

The Gillman
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
The Metaluna Mutant

You know, I have always felt bad for the Metaluna Mutants...they were essentially slaves like the Mole People 

[Unknown Primate]

KING KONG
FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER
THE WOLF MAN

Also, The Cyclops (7th Voyage Of Sinbad), Talos (Jason & The Argonauts), Godzilla, Ymir, Kharis, Gill Man, The Thing, Frankenstein's Teenage Monster (just do, for some reason) & The Aztec Mummy.

Needless to say, there are many more.

I agree. At least the Mole People had the movie named after them. The poor ol' mutants weren't even given that, and were compared to "earth insects" too. I think they deserve space on a talk show...is Oprah willing to come back and to a special?

Hmmm.....I'll make it a little easier on myself by doing 3 classic and 3 modern:

Classic; Frankenstein, The Wolfman and Creature (runner up the Phantom)
Modern; Freddy, Leatherface, Tar Man Zombie (runner up Pinhead)

Wow, I'm surprised to see The Gillman on most of these lists.  I mean, I know he's popular, I just didn't know he's THAT popular!  That's awesome!!

I like ZH's format, so I'll borrow it:

Classic: Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man

Modern: Count Yorga, Blacula, Nosferatu

[Illoman]

I like ZH's format, so I'll borrow it:

Classic: Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man

Modern: Count Yorga, Blacula, Nosferatu

I think Nosferatu pre-dates your three classic ones!

Just three? Hmm...can I do it by movies/TV shows?

Chaney's London After Midnight vampire
Everyone scary in the original Dark Shadows
All the mon-stars in Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein
