10 Terrifying Horror Movie Monsters With Very Little Screen Time
8. Mother Markos - Suspiria
In 2018's version of Suspiria, the naturally-gifted Susie joins Markos Dance Academy in Berlin, hoping to become a world-class dancer. However, Susie is seemingly unaware the school is run by witches, who intend to use the students to amplify their power.
Since the academy's founder, Mother Helen Markos, is built up as evil incarnate, viewers are eager to see Susie have a confrontation with her. Because this remake clocks in at a bum-numbing 152 minutes, with Mother Markos only appearing near the end, you might be worried she won't live up to expectations.
On the contrary, Mother Markos make an unforgettable impression, since she's, without a shred of exaggeration, one of the most physically repulsive characters ever put to screen. Every crevasse of her body is covered with pus, tumours, warts, and seeping fluids.
As hard as it is to believe, that's not the most disgusting thing about her. Her torso is layered with baby limbs, implying she has consumed newborns to prolong her life. The way these extra appendages jiggle while Mother Markos lumbers around is bound to turn your stomach.
