The Movie Creatures/Monsters Tournament

We have had 2-3 versions of this before, but almost all of them focused on films from the 90s and 2000s. With so many classic horror films and giant-monster films of the vintage era (30s, 40s, 50s), it was always a glaring injustice to them when they got excluded.

Not to mention the biggest name of them all - Ray Harryhausen, who literally brought the giant monsters invading into our screens.

This time, I am hoping to bring all of them together in the same space, and see which one actually dominates and rules all of them in movie history.

This will also be a part ode to the genius of Harryhausen, so expect to see a lot of him, classic monsters and the rampagers from Japan from the classic/golden era.


Could it be Godzilla? Or King Kong? The Rhedosaurus?

Maybe the Giant Ants from Them? The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms?

Or The Queen Alien? Harryhausen's Kraken or Medusa, maybe?

Mothra? The Blob? The Thing?


You shall decide.


I have a long list of recs ready. Apart from the usual, if you want one of your unsung favorite monster/creature in this, go ahead and post.

This will start later in the day.
