- The Thing (1982) Director: John Carpenter. No disrespect to the classic Christian Nyby/Howard Hawks version of The Thing From Another World from 1951, but John Carpenter’s 1982 reimagining of that story into The Thing is one of cinema’s greatest acts of modernization.
- King Kong (1933) Directors: Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack. There had been monster movies or “creature features” before Kong, but it became the key reference point for that entire film demographic from the time of its release until the genre underwent an atomic-age reimagining with the likes of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms in 1953 and Them!
- Alien (1979) Director: Ridley Scott. Conduits, canals and cloaca—Ridley Scott’s ode to claustrophobia leaves little room to breathe, cramming its blue collar archetypes through spaces much too small to sustain any sort of sanity, and much too unforgiving to survive.
- Jaws (1975) Director: Steven Spielberg. Because someone is sure to ask: Is Jaws a monster movie? For those who worry that it’s “not safe to go back in the water,” then most certainly it is.
- The Thing – The Thing (1982) As one of the most well-known and revered horror movies, John Carpenter's 1982 classic "The Thing" barely requires an introduction.
- Xenomorphs and Facehuggers – Alien (1979) 1979 saw the cinematic introduction of one of the most recognizable and frightening creatures to ever grace our screens: the Xenomorph.
- Michael Myers – Halloween (1978) This entry really only needs three words: he's the Boogeyman. Michael Myers holds an esteemed place in the horror baddie pantheon by virtue of being one of the earliest and simplest slasher icons — pre-Jason Voorhees, pre-Freddy Kreuger.
- Freddy Krueger – A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) There are few instances where someone can just utter a single name and a myriad of images will pop into their mind.

- "Godzilla" (1954) Over the years, Godzilla has evolved to become a protector of humankind, a beloved pop-culture icon, and even a friend to children. But in director Ishirō Honda's original film, he's terrifying — the massive, volatile personification of the nuclear bombs that leveled Japanese cities less than 10 years earlier.
- "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935) Pioneering director and gay horror icon James Whale outdid himself with The Bride of Frankenstein, a stark Gothic horror film that's enlivened with electric jolts of wit.
- "Frankenstein" (1931) It's the film that set the standard for all the movie monsters that would come in its wake. The look and tropes of James Whale's original 1931 Frankenstein have become so iconic that even those who haven't seen it are familiar with its imagery of mad scientists, hunchbacked assistants, and villagers waving pitchforks.
- "King Kong" (1933) Although his screen debut arrived in the midst of the Universal monster boom, King Kong was actually the creation of a rival studio, RKO Pictures.
