So, let’s take a look at the monsters who are terrifying yet loving. You would love to hate these monsters. The list is pretty long, but it takes a lot of efforts to cut it down to top 6.

If these were not on your list, then do watch their movies, you might wanna change your mind.
1) Godzilla
Year: 1954
Director: Ishiro Honda
Godzilla is an awe-inspiring proposition. Implacable, heroic, and what not, this movie definitely tops the list of the monster movies.
2) Frankenstein
Year:1931
Director: James Whale
Boris Karloff’s Monster had a sutured skin and innocent child-like expressions. In fact, he has killed a kid too. This one is a standard for the adorable monsters.
3) The Thing
Year: 1982
Director: John Carpenter
This remake of Howard Hawk’s, ‘The Thing from another world’. This movie is probably one of the best to depict a different side of the monster and is definitely a must watch.
4) The Evil Dead
Year: 1981
Director: Sam Raimi
It is a comic tale of a slave and his blooded battle with the demons. The effects in the movie are ingenious, gross, and amazing.
5) King Kong
Year : 1933
Director: Merion C Cooper and Ernest B Schoedsack
This love-struck Ape zaps at his bullies. The man behind the special effects is O’Brien, who made King Kong as one of the few monsters who has an emotional as well as the narrative heart.
6) Alien
Year: 1979
Director: Ridley Scott
Ridley Scott has perfectly crafted a flawlessly modulated and eloquent space opera where the stunningly crafted characters help to entrench the nightmare of the situation better than any special effects could possibly do.
