10 Best Horror Movie Monsters NOBODY Talks About

7. The Glitch - V/H/S

The V/H/S anthology movies have some great and some lacklustre shorts, as is the gamble with any anthology flick. However, one particular highlight from the first movie was this terrifying monster, The Glitch.

This creature came from the segment Tuesday the 17th, which saw a group of teens attending a camping trip, only to be picked off by The Glitch one by one. The short is incredibly creative, as the monster has some awesome powers that could have led to him becoming an exciting villain if given the chance to expand into a more significant runtime.

Since the short is found footage, you never really get a good look at the creature, as his namesake comes from the fact that he causes recording devices to distort and glitch when looking upon him. This not only gives the monster an incredible mystery but adds a truly contemporary spin to him, as he acts as an embodiment of technological horror.

It's also implied that he is only visible when looking through a camera. Therefore his glitchy appearance is the best you'll ever get of him. This is such a unique concept for a monster, and it deserves a far larger spotlight, although even with a spotlight, you'd probably still see little of him.
