10 Terrifying Monsters Wasted In Terrible Horror Movies

10. The Creature - The Creeping Terror (1964)

Quite unfairly panned as one of the world's worst science-fiction horror flicks, The Creeping Terror was let loose to the public all the way back in 1964 and introduced the world to its terrifying creature.

Following the story of our hero Martin Gordon, played by Vic Savage, The Creeping Terror starts out almost as a supernatural mystery, teasing us with a dead sheriff and an alien spaceship quite some time before we even get a hint of what the ship owner might look like.

Eventually however, we're treated to a sight of the film's creature via a killing rampage against a bikini girl, a housewife, Grandpa and Grandson Brown, a bunch of picnickers and some traditional teenagers at a local dance hall.

The Creeping Terror is a long, thin, worm-like monster that is caked in leaves and sprouts some pretty intimidating tentacles from the top of its head. Whilst it moves like a snail, its ability to devour its victims whole makes for some pretty shocking kills, and that crackly snarling it makes on the hunt is truly something out of this world.

Whilst the creature turns out to be immune from bullets during the film's finale, it's no match for Martin and Uncle Sam's finest collection of grenades.
