10 Horror Movie Villains Who Deserved The Win
6. Gill-Man - Creature From The Black Lagoon
From the ancient past of 1954 comes Creature from the Black Lagoon, one of the most famous monster horror movies of all time.
Whilst on an expedition in the Amazon, a team of scientists find evidence of a amphibious humanoid living in a hidden pool of water. Rather than just leave the innocent creature alone, the humans decide to poke around a little bit.
The idea for the creature - which goes by the utterly stupid name of "Gill-Man" - was actually conceived at a dinner party during the production of Citizen Kane. Not many classic movie monsters can say that.
Naturally curious about these new arrivals, Gill-Man accidentally startles two assistants, who attempt to fend it off. Now faced with a threat, Gill-Man attacks and kills them both.
It's not his fault that these nosey scientists decided to bum around his house. How would you feel if a bunch of giant, hairless apes suddenly turned up in your living room?
In the end, the Creature gets shot to pieces, which is a sad end.
And he's not the only aquatic horror villain to meet such a fate.
