What's the coolest Movie Monster and why?

10-11-2005, 01:44 AM

Hard to say but I will go with Freddy just because he loves to trash talk before he kills you. Ghost face from Scream looks cool but super clumbsy

tim curry as satan in "legend". [img]tongue.gif[/img]

PinHead In "Hell Raiser" he was always cool but scary.

mike myers from halloween, he always walks like he has all the time when he follows his victims, that's so cool!

10-11-2005, 05:48 PM

micheal is so stupid because he's a total jason clone. But instead of being a zombie he's just some guy that can take shots, catch on fire, get cut up, and still keep on ticking. Makes no sense!

Michael Myers came out a few years before Jason started to make his trademark appearance. True, they are a bit similar, but you can't really consider Myers to be a rip off.

The Creeper from "Jeepers Creepers" is my favorite monster.

10-12-2005, 08:36 PM

the creeper had an interesting concept till the sequel came out. Ruined him.

Michael came out before? Hrmm I guess jason ripped from him. Still I prefer Jason over Michael

10-13-2005, 07:10 AM

jason isn't a michael rip-off. the whole deal with the mask and all weren't planned. it just developed that way in the movies

10-13-2005, 01:45 PM

i like Michael more than Jason. Michaels movies are more exicting than the Jason ones. that what i prefer.

10-14-2005, 01:08 AM

in the second one or the third one, I remember he stole that mask from the geeky teenager. His mom was in the first one. Hahah they got her good though

Godzilla. He would eat all those other guys in one gulp.

Michael Myers is classic though. It's true that in Halloween 4-5 they made him kind of Jason-ish (which is weird because as we have established Mike had two movies under his belt before Jason ever made the big screen) but at his core Michael was always more of an assasin as where Jason was like a tank. Both are unkillable and superhumanly strong and wear masks, but Jason was definately the Johnny come lately. I think both have paid their dues though and are now classic movie monsters.
But Godzilla...
Gulp!

Jareth the Goblin King from Labyrinth.

edit: why, because it was David Bowie

you have the right to have that opinion, but just know that micheal came before jason, so jason is the clone, if you want to put it that way. halloween came out in 1978, friday the 13th, introducing jason, came out later, in 1980.

10-15-2005, 04:54 PM

still, I don't believe when halloween came out, he was super human that could take all the damage that jason could. It wasn't till after Jason appeared that halloween series changed towards that.

What I don't understand is HOW Michael can take the hits he does. They tried to do some sort of demonic thing in later movies.. what was that about?

10-15-2005, 06:31 PM

Honestly, horror films don't have to make sense... They are just entertainment... I think Michael is the best... The was he walks is very creepy...

10-15-2005, 06:50 PM

well it's always nice to make sense out of the senseless

10-15-2005, 09:24 PM

The thing about Michael Myers is that when John Carpanter and Debra Hill made that movie it was basically about a phsycho killer who appearantly had no motive for his evil deeds. "Pure evil" as he was described in that movie by Dr. Loomis. It was his unmotivated acts of evil that were the point of the story. At the end when he disapears after being shot six times and falling off the second story of a house, it was the twist of the movie. It was suppose to make us wonder if he really was the "boogie man".
Now in the second one they gave him a motive. He was killing off his family. John and Debra had very little to do with the second film and it is there view that Halloween should have been a one shot deal.
Skipping Halloween 3 and going right into 4 and 5 They decided to extend the story of his rampage. In 6 they did reveal the "true" purpose of Michael which had something to do with him being the embodiment of an evil god. This is the explaination given by later script writers as to why he can survive all that he has survived.

So he does have a reason for his powers, it just sucks. Personally, I agree with John and Debra and think that they should have stopped after the first one.

10-15-2005, 09:32 PM

I thought even in the first one, he was after his sister? Which I don't get why.. why was he in such a need to kill off his family and travel all the way back to do it?

What's the movie where his niece becomes a killer. That was weird too
