For me its the face hugger: this monster incapacitates you, then impregnates you with a killing machine that in the end - bursts out of your chest and kills you and then goes after everyone else.
The xenomorth is scary for what it is, the face hugger is terrifying for what it does.
I'd rather a xenomorth strait kill me, than have one of the face huggers do its thing to me.
Definitely has to be the Facehu ...

Really freaky stuff for such a "tame" (get it) movie. Like something straight out of Blighttown.
I forgot this part of the film existed. Until a minute ago. All the years of therapy wasted ...
"She" is Tristana Medeiros from REC

That movie scared the shit out out me. I was about the exact same age as the kid in the movie. Pretty disturbing British B-flick.

E.T. in the river.
Gave me nightmares, despite watching more graphic films and never being bothered as a child.

Looks like I'm watching this. Like tonight. This wasn't on my radar because it seemed like one of those tame, over-produced Hollywood horror movies. Maybe it is, but I dug the gif.
Movies whatever. Better than the Conjuring though which gaf seems to be in love with.

Edit: ^^^ this statement is false. I didn't think the Conjuring was anything great, but Mama was more disappointing for me.
OMG don't. Or if you do, don't expect too much. It's pretty cool for a while and then it takes a nose dive. It becomes exactly what you thought it was (imo). On the plus side, Jamie Lannister is in it which is pretty cool

The Creepshow "Crate Beast" destroyed me when I was a kid.

I feel like that's one of Stan Winston's weakest designs, especially when you compare it to the originalThis and Samara from The Ring (if you want to call her a monster)
HIs work on the first victim is immaculate though.
He said "monster", not "Mr. Ed".
Yup. Nothing touches the original Alien design for me. Utter, primal fear.
The lack of eyes has long freaked me out.
I first watched The Grudge when I was young and still hugely susceptible to nightmares, my god that chick scared the living shit out of me. She's the only monster that can get you when you're hiding under your sheets, and she lives in your closet, yeah fuck that man.
In recent memory though the scariest monster I remember seeing in a movie is...nothing. I may be being pessimistic saying this, but honestly I don't think I've seen a good horror movie in LONG time. Paranormal activity is garbage, I really enjoyed Insidious 1, but it was a bit too comedic to actually be scared by. Haunting in Connecticut was also extremely cheesy, all the Amityville horror knockoffs made in the last decade have been pretty bad. I honestly would pay a lot to see a good new original horror movie, like something with the impact of Halloween when it first came out.
EDIT: found image that's not as massive.
I always assumed that its eyes were inside of the head dome. To me, the facehuggers will always be the creepiest part of that movie because that's the 2nd creepiest method of reproduction in the Alien series behind the Predalien's method of pumping Xenomorph embryo's directly down your throat with the inner mouth.

This. You said exactly what I was going to say.
Only in the 1983 version, though. The 2011 prequel changed it from a cunning, paranoia-inducing cosmic horror to a dumb bloodthirsty brute.
Other than that, the Xenomorph from the first alien movie.

I watched The Thing for the first time a couple years ago and while the puppetry (or whatever it was) was very impressive, the long drawn out transformation scenes began to feel pretty safe after the creature spent so much time showing off and less time pursuing the characters.
Mama. Old ladies freak me out.
this just scared the crap out of me. lol.
mama is the name of the movie?

Good one. I had to fast forward that part as a kid. I pretty much skipped the sick part up until ET rises from the dead and the flowers are ok again. The guys in "astronaut" suits scared the fuck out of me to.
This is another one I thought of. I felt so sorry for Rick Morannis trying to get inside the restaurant and no one hears him or helps him. So hopeless.
Yeah, it came out about a year ago. Quick plot synopsis since this movie keeps popping up: It's about some kids who were left alone in the woods for a few years with no one to look after them but the ghost in the GIF, and she refuses to relinquish custody of them.
LMAO

That Mama gif reminds me of Scary Stories illustrations.
The werewolf from Waxwork used to scare the shit out of me.

The Xenomorphs from the Alien series will always be the scariest movie monster to me I think.

You can throw me into that GAF tub. I'm not expecting anything close to The Conjuring in terms of filmmaking quality or creep factor.

It really is pretty bad fyi. Parts of it are great, parts of it are terribad, the result is meh. But hey, enjoy, it's kind of fun still I guess.

This must be the famous water monster I've never heard of. Thanks for posting the source.
Wow so passive aggressive.
Its from Creepshow 2, The Raft segment.
You're welcome.

Same here. This guy and the facehugger were just nightmare fuel for young me.
He's not really a monster, but Mola Ram from Temple of Doom freaked me out, too.

It's really fucking annoying when people do that in threads like this. It's not hard to post the name of the movie. Not all of us have seen every scary movie in the world.

And that's it. Nothing else to see here.
Some great choices in here, but nothing elicits terror quite like the xenomorph.
People are seriously picking that god awful American remake of the Ring?
The Sakura design is bog standard horror movie wankery that lacks any semblance of the original and the film itself is just a horrible and completely soulless film. Everything about it is the complete opposite of the brilliantly made build up of the original. Shit scared the hell out of me when I first saw it. The psychological ride was just sublime and that Sakura would definitely rank in my scariest film 'monsters'. The simplicity of it worked whereas the American design is generic, downright pitiful and can be thrown in to other demonic-looking women character designs. Nothing separates it.
The American film is terribad, absolutely terribad.
The American Grudge film however was actually a good watch compared with the original. Creepy as hell with great ghost designs. One of the most scariest ghost designs in films for me.

My vote has to go to Mary Shaw.
I'm not afraid of ventriloquist dummies, but the look of a human body that has had its parts replaced with doll parts scares the crap out of me.
Oh good lord that movie scared me.
I'll just go with the slew of Sadoko-esque/Long Black-haired ghosts of J-Horror. They never cease to frighten me.

It's from Creepshow part II: The Raft, I believe.
And scariest, I'd at least put a nomination up for Predator
Big shoutouts to the Xenomorph, The Thing, and Chucky, but nothing scared me like a Predator could. Cloaking, the tech, the intelligence, and the brutality. Even though he's got ethics like only hunting armed/big game, still creeps me the hell out. Just thinking about what he'd do to his victims afterwards too.
