People have always been most creative when they come up with ways to scare each other. This is how the scariest monsters in the world were born, which can scare not only children, but also adults.
For those who are ready to look fear in the eye, we have prepared a selection of the most frightening and dangerous creatures from urban legends, books, films and games.
10. Godzilla
He's one of the biggest monsters in cinema. He breathes a massive beam of atomic fire from his mouth and stomps on skyscrapers like soda cans. He's what happens when a giant lizard emerges from an ocean "bathtub" of nuclear waste.
Godzilla has been the king of the kaiju since his first appearance on TV screens in the 1950s. More than 30 films have been made about him, not counting the TV series. Among them were comedies (King Kong vs. Godzilla), children's films (Godzilla Attacks), thrillers (Godzilla vs. Megaguirus), crime films (Godzilla vs. Biollante), and science fiction (Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla, etc.).
The film "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters" was recently released. This is a sequel to the 2014 film about a huge monster that feeds on radiation.
9. Chupacabra
This creature is one of those rare monsters that prefers to kill animals rather than people. The name "chupacabra" is translated from Spanish as "blood sucker" or "goat vampire", which gives an idea of the animal's gastronomic preferences.
It is not known exactly what the chupacabra looks like; sick or mutated animals, such as jackals, foxes, and even dogs, are often mistaken for this monster.
Reports of the appearance of the chupacabra periodically appear in different countries of the world, including Russia.
Although the chupacabra appears in movies, books, and TV shows, it was not born from the imagination of screenwriters or writers. The first mentions of the chupacabra appeared in the 1950s, when goats were found in Puerto Rico with their blood sucked out. But the true chupacabra emerged in the 1990s, thanks to television and the rise of the Internet. Since then, this bloodsucker from urban legends has firmly established itself on the list of the scariest monsters.
8. Dracula
One of the most popular monsters in world culture, Dracula has appeared in nearly 300 films, making him the most frequently depicted character in cinema.
On screen, his image was embodied by famous actors such as Bela Lugosi (Dracula, 1931), Gary Oldman (Dracula, 1992), Leslie Nielsen (Dracula: Dead and Loving It, 1995) and Gerard Butler (Dracula 2000, 2000).
But they were all surpassed by actor Christopher Lee, who played Dracula 11 times.
The immortal vampire is the antagonist in Bram Stoker's 1897 Gothic novel Dracula. Stoker's notes to the novel indicate that Dracula's original name was "Count Vampyre".
7. Pyramid Head
He supposedly has a human body hidden under blood-stained clothing, while his head is a large red metal helmet shaped like a triangle. But even if Pyramid Head had no human flesh left, he would still be a bloody symbol of the Silent Hill gaming franchise and one of the most iconic and feared villains in video games.
His huge, relentlessly approaching figure terrified thousands of gamers, providing them with an uninterrupted source of adrenaline throughout the game.
And considering that Pyramid Head is prone to sexual violence and has an impressive body size, he is probably the most sexually active monster not only in Silent Hill, but in the entire video game universe. Some girls even admitted that they like this faceless reaper, unburdened by morals or social obligations.
Experts from various publications compared him to the maniac Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and even Darth Vader. Pyramid Head is a participant and leader of many ratings - from 41st place in the "50 Greatest Video Game Characters" according to Empire magazine to the first line in the "Top 25 Scariest Video Game Monsters" according to GameDaily.
6. The Pale Man
This terrifying monster from Pan's Labyrinth is further proof that Guillermo del Toro can create the strangest and most terrifying monsters. The Pale Man's disturbing visions have echoed in moviegoers' nightmares.
It's hard to forget the creature with eyes in its palms, who places his hands on his distorted face a la Voldemort to stalk his prey. It's believed that he prefers to eat children, but adults should also keep their distance from the Pale Man.
5. Balrog
A giant demon that can envelop itself in all-consuming fire and wields a massive flaming whip and a giant flaming sword is definitely a fearsome creature.
Balrogs are spirits of fire that came to serve Melkor (Morgoth), turning their powers to evil. All living creatures in The Lord of the Rings were terrified of Balrogs, and one of them, Durin's Bane, managed to defeat Gandalf the Grey himself, although he himself died in battle with him.
4. Witches of the Crooked-Eared Swamps
Don't let their creepy (or sometimes beautiful) appearance fool you. These omnipresent Ladies of the Forest (Spinner, Cook, and Whisperer) are a force to be reckoned with. They can do good or evil, but they will always demand a price for the latter.
In The Witcher 3, they test Geralt of Rivia (and the player) both psychologically and physically. You can talk to them about anything, it doesn't matter - one of you will lose one way or another.
3. Predator
It took all the strength and wit of Arnold Schwarzenegger to take on one of the most terrifying monsters in cinema. Everything about The Predator is scary, from its name to its appearance. Plus, Predators aren't just monsters, they're a race of highly intelligent creatures whose development is far ahead of ours, making them even more dangerous.
Add to that the fact that they can turn invisible anytime they want! It goes without saying that the brutal and ugly Predator has captured the hearts of more than one generation. There are many video games, movies, and comics dedicated to the best hunter in the universe.
2. Alien
It's bad when a parasite, like a helminth, lives inside a person. But it's much worse when an Alien lives inside, which, when it's born, tears the host's chest. And then starts eating people like seeds.
This fearless alien monster is without a doubt one of the most terrifying and popular creatures to ever appear on screen, in games or cartoons.
The aliens are somewhat similar to giant ants. They also have a Queen (the main and largest creature in the colony), workers and soldiers. They are smart, fast and deadly. It is scary to even imagine a whole world full of these terrible creatures.
1. It
The top ten most terrifying monsters on Earth are headed by the creation of the King of Horror Stephen King - the hellish clown Pennywise.
Under its guise hides an ancient creature of extraterrestrial origin, whose favorite pastime is devouring people (especially children, they are easier to manipulate). It appears to a person in the form of what scares him or her the most. According to Pennywise, the flesh of a frightened victim tastes better. At the same time, the real appearance of the creature is beyond human understanding. And people who encounter it in the "void" or "deadly fires" go crazy. This is what the most terrible monster looks like.
If a person, especially a child, does not know at first whether to be afraid or not, It appears as a clown to lure the person closer. The alien sleeps for about 27-30 years and wakes up, accompanied by some terrible catastrophe or act of violence.
It causes as much psychological, emotional and physical agony in humans as possible. The most common human fear is arachnophobia. So for the members of the Losers Club, who are chasing the monster in its lair, It at one point looks like a very fast, giant black spider with huge fangs.
