10 Awesome Movie Monsters Only In One Scene

Guillermo del Toro's taste for the weird feels almost unquenchable, with his abstract creations making for some of the most uncomfortable and impressionable characters in film history. The Angel of Death from Hellboy II fits that mould perfectly, both an incredibly strange figure but instantly compelling in its presentation - slotting into the Hellboy canon as easily as a giant red demon and his humanoid fish pal have from the very beginning.

The Angel of Death is a Del Toro creation that primarily toys with vision for its creepy effects, having its eyes grow from the wings coming out its back and a hard chitinous plate in the place of having eye sockets and a forehead. Skeletal in its figure whilst having a flair for the dramatic and enjoying a particularly creepy cadence, the Angel of Death is a wonderful example of the magic that Del Toro and Doug Jones make when they get together. The Shape of Water and Crimson Peak another two examples the pair have under their weird and wonderful belts.
