10 MORE Horror Movie Monsters You Were Completely Unprepared For

10. Vera Cosgrove - Braindead

Three decades after its release, Braindead is still among the goriest films ever made. Almost every scene of Peter Jackson's OTT zomcom is stuffed with gross-out content, including the undead sex sequence, the ear-in-the-custard shot, and any moment involving the ghoulish baby.

By the time the protagonist, Lionel, shreds an army of zombies with a lawnmower blade, it looks like there's nothing else the campy horror-fest can do. Instead, Braindead saves the most ridiculous scenario for last.

Lionel's supposedly dead mother, Vera, revives herself during the climax, transforming into a colossal monster. With her mangled face, elongated claws, and sagging breasts, it goes without saying that there has never been a zombie quite like Lionel's mom. While Lionel battles this nude giant on top of his house, you don't know whether to laugh or scream, and just when it feels like things couldn't get more bonkers, tendrils shoot out of Vera's body and drag Lionel into her womb.

Although some horror veterans can watch the rest of the stomach-churning action without batting an eyelid, seeing Vera in all her glory is sure to make anyone do a double-take.
