Not technically a monster, but that thing from Inland Empire, man, fuck that thing.
I watched this movie in the dark with headphones, and I swear that this part made me literally gasp out loud like an idiot.

Help me out gaf, I want to contribute but I can't remember the name of the film.
It's a U.K indie film that came out about 2-3 years ago, it's set in northern Ireland I think and it's about a guy who's pregnant wife is attacked by a group of thuggish looking kids.
After the main character's wife is attacked he suffers from agoraphobia but he's still being harassed by these seemingly "thuggish teens"
edit:NVM I found it, the damn kids from Citadel... Holy shit that scared me..
That almost certainly wasn't the movie's intention though, since it tries its darndest to make us think that The Thing is just as clever as it was in the original, despite it making three colossaly stupid screwups:
Morphing while on a helicopter bound for civilization and ruining its best chance for escape
Not just detatching its limb like it did earlier in the movie to catch Kate while she's cowering just out of reach of its (completely extendable, mind you) tentacles while on the alien ship
Reaching for the wrong ear while disguised as Carter when it's mentioned that it's missing the deceased man's earring, even though it should know which ear he wore it on after assimilating his friggin' memories. Also, not immediately torching Kate when it was clear that the jig was up
Mind you, it does do some smart stuff like destroying the blood samples and the aforementioned detaching limbs bit, but it was on the whole a really dumb beast, despite the script's best effort to make you think otherwise.
I guess im the only person in this thread who got DESTROYED by disney's Dont Look Under The Bed. Couldnt sleep right for weeks.
I have one question about The Thing though. They showed that the things will blow each other's cover to save themselves, but what happens if a thing that is under cover is encountered by a thing that has had its cover blown? Will it try to kill and assimilate the other thing, or do they just pretend that they're fighting to keep up the act? Do the things even know which people are infected?
Statues coming to life freak me out.

Attack the Block
Someone told me I should watch Sinister, "it's better than that crap The Conjuring!". So I watched it. From that moment I knew I should stop trusting her cinema criteria.
The final scene is just despicable
This guy spooked me and my mate way more than he should have when we saw this at the cinema.
I was spooked for days after seeing it. the fact I use my phone light as a torch to find my way up stairs as night when my girlfriend is in bed and there is a mirror on our landing does not help.
Still haven't managed to watch it again at home despite buying the blu ray.

That scenario has never been tested on screen afaik so we don't know how it would play out. Either way it does dumb things, yet does smart things (like destroying eveidence (blood samples)). I think we can just put it down to inconsistent/bad writing, especially for a film that's supposed to make you think about events and break them down, not a simple monster movie.
It's quite possible that they'd infight, since each Thing is an autonomous organism and it's implied that they have no loyalty to the "original" one that brought them into being.
Heck, one of the characters even questions whether or not one is aware of their assimilation or if they just go about their business normally until The Thing takes over, which would mean a definite "yes" to the question of whether two assimilated beings would fight each other.
It's only dumb in the new movie. The only remotely dumb thing it does in the original is try and assimilate Bennings in the middle of a room which was frequently visited by the rest of the crew. Other than that, it only revelaed itself if it was made clear that everyone had seen through its disguise, or in opportune moments such as the chest paddle scene when it realized it had the chance to take out, thus greatly decreasing their chances of surviving the winter.Dr. Copper, the only one who could provide the humans with medical assistance
Loved that episode so much that I always remembered it, even though I had no clue what it was from..That didn't bother me at all, but there was an episode of Amazing Stories called Mirror, Mirror that really messed me up as a kid.
A guy starts seeing a figure behind him, moving towards him every time he sees his reflection. And each time it starts at the distance it left off at the last time he looked away.

Fun fact: The mirror monster is Tim Robbins.
Holy shitballs fact: The episode was directed by Martin Scorsese.
We do, we just choose not to. ThatNobody remembers Re-Animator?

The Devourers
How it Eats
As grotesquely illustrated below, the winged devourers use their wings to capture and hold human prey. Once secured, they vomit a corrosive solvent over the squirming meals head. This is a form of external digestion, which youve also seen in spiders, the common housefly or the extremely rare Brundlefly.

Once regurgitated, the caustic upchuck sinks in for a few moments, liquefying flesh right off the bone. Then the monster sucks most of the grotesque soup back up into its gullet for a tasty meal.
Clearly, the creature lacks anything resembling a proper jaw and this is key. Since it lacks the basic tools of mastication, it has to break down flesh into a liquid to consume it.
After sucking up as much of the liquefied flesh as possible, the creature simply throws open its wings and lets the slimy remnants of bone and armor plop to the ground. Yet since the winged devourers are clearly intelligent and cultured beings, so theyre not about to waste those precious bones. Instead, they employ a very human mode of external digestion cooking to boil these indigestible bits down into a slurpable stew.
Just to add to the thread: the monster from "The Relic". Fantastic design, and freaky as hell.

Yeah this was very gnarly to the eight-year-old-me as well. /greatparentsPerhaps not really a monster (he's a good guy), but still very scary when I watched this as a kid: Kuato from Total Recall

This thing in the dreams that you dont know what it is.
This is probably the best comparison/association I've ever heard used to describe the creature.He looks like an EC Comics antagonist come to life, and the cartooniness adds to how unsettling he is over more traditionally scary looking monsters.
How about scary sexy? Yes, she is a monster, but I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it. And if you haven't, you should!
Sorry about the size, these are the most SFW-ish pics I could find. Reasonably sure nobody's going to mind...
As goofy as Return of the Living Dead is, Tarman freaks me out. He looks like an EC Comics antagonist come to life, and the cartooniness adds to how unsettling he is over more traditionally scary looking monsters.
