They would be high on my list of villainous personalities though, along with Freddy Krueger.Roman J.

I might have to modify my list. The cyclopes may have to go down!Roman J.

But if they follow the insect biology then yeah I think it is a she. In any case it is the scariest.<br /><br />My wife who is my age also doesn't get the nostalgia for the Harryhausen stop motion. We have to agree to disagree there. :)Roman J.

Here's a few I might add: The seed pods from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, King Kong, Jaws, The Blob--I was always a fan of gelatinous creatures, Frankenstein, the Cenobites, and Gossamer, the orange hairy monster from Bug Bunny, that first appeared in Hair Raising Hare.El Voxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985563041511492981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801441755423984496.post-3617849350857384342016-10-31T11:19:20.180-07:002016-10-31T11:19:20.180-07:00Good choices.

My list would include “Rodan” (1956) – though I didn’t think of it as a kid, terror from the skies was a pretty thin metaphor in Japan scarcely more than a decade after the war. Also, “The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms,” which predated Godzilla.” The “Jurassic Park” raptors would make the cut, too.Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801441755423984496.post-43654890202089730392016-10-31T08:14:10.349-07:002016-10-31T08:14:10.349-07:00Pretty good list.

I was born the 90s so I dont really get that nostalgic feel about the classic stop motion works of Harryhausen, but I still really appreciate them.<br /><br />Can't agree with you final pick more, but I always assumed the alien was a she.Myerlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00772428029534463716noreply@blogger.com
