10 Horror Monsters That Became The Star Of The Show

9. The Xenomorph

Michael Myers

The Xenomorph XX121 is the most beautiful piece of creature design is cinema history. It doesn’t talk, it doesn’t reason, it doesn’t think. It’s a relentless force of fearsome magnitude.

H.R. Geiger’s iconic design added the perfect monster to a near perfect movie.

Unlike many other entries here, it was not easy for the monster to stand out amongst the cast and characters in Alien. The movie is filled with brilliant performances from brilliant actors, all playing characters who are at least highly memorable and at best are cultural icons themselves.

Yet, amongst Ripley, Ash, Kane, Dallas and crew, the Alien holds its own to become an audience favourite and goes on to a larger and larger role in the sequels.
