Peter Griffin's Hairless Twin
Now I know you don't really think about monsters when you think about Family Guy, you think about poop and wiener jokes, but Family Guy really does have some good and sometimes even disturbing creatures, and The Hairless Twin fits in both those categories. The Hairless Twin makes his first and only appearance in the episode Fresh Heir where it is shown that Peter keeps him in the Storm Shed and is mean and cruel to him. He is fed egg shells and coffee grounds and the moon light burns his skin. Watch his first and beautiful appearance here!!! (WARNING: Crappy video quality)
The Deadly Spawn
The Deadly Spawn are from the 1983 film The Deadly Spawn. They start out as a tadpole type creature and quickly grow larger and larger and eat everything in sight. The young boy is the first person in the family to see the monsters when he finds them in the basement eating his dead mother and he also figures out that the monsters can't, but they hunt by hearing things. I don't want to ruin the end of the movie for you, because it's badass. Go watch this film, it's not great, but it bad, and there lot's of monsters, and what more do you really need in this movie. You can watch it on YouTube, so go watch it now!
Ghoulies
Now the Ghoulies franchise has a fairly large cult following, but I felt I should put these guys in any way. The original three Ghoulies (The Fish, Cat, and Rat Ghoulies) are in the first three film. And after The Ghoulies Go To Collage, we get a new set of Ghoulies. I've never truly seen the the last two movies, only the the first two. I saw the second one first, when I was small, and wouldn't see the first one till years later. These movies are some of the first Horror Films I ever saw, or at least remember seeing. But enough of my little sappy nostalgic story.
The Ghoulies are little demons from hell (of course), that reek havoc. The first movie has more demons than the second one does, because it's not just the five little demons that everyone is used to from the second movie. The first movie has at least three of the green guys, and a few demons that never make into other movies, like a woman with a tongue that chocks people, and a melting clown that turns into a green demon thing, and lots of other cool stuff. But the second movie, has the puppet monsters that everyone is used to seeing. The fourth film has only two demons, and they're completely different ones. They aren't puppets, and the where cloths, and they look more like people. They're also little people in costumes instead of puppets.
Sumatran Rat Monkey
The Sumatran Rat Monkey is from the film Dead Alive (a.k.a. Brain Dead) made by Peter Jackson. The Sumatran Rat Monkey play a big part in the movie, he bits the protagonist's mother, causing her to turn into a zombie. And here's a lovely little piece of trivia, he's from Skull Island. His cargo cage also makes a little cameo appearance in the 2005 King Kong film. Not only is the monster badass, but the film it's from is badass. It has an awesome array of zombies, and if you haven't seen it, go check it out, it's worth it.
Eyeball Creature
The Eyeball Creature, comes from Big Trouble In Little China. The film, directed by John Carpenter, is pretty well known, but the creature itself never really gets any love. The creature acts as a spy for Lo-Pan, and is a lovely little character. I think it might be brought to life by using Stop Motion, which I absolutely love. The Creature's design isn't only awesome, but it's also beautifully down.
Scarabs
The Scarabs appear in the Mummy Remake Series. The films themselves are pretty well known, but the creatures aren't. These flesh eating little beetles, are beautiful. In the second film they go into people throats, and eat them from the inside. I really haven't seen the first remake, in quite awhile, and I really don't even remember if these guys are in that movie.
Well that's it for know, I might write a sequel article, but I wouldn't count on it, but maybe.
