10 Terrifying Monsters Wasted In Terrible Horror Movies

3. Ro-Man - Robot Monster (1953)

In what genuinely has to be up there in a list of the most out there movies ever conceived and put to film, Robot Monster is the story of alien robot Ro-man's mission to invade Earth and wipe out humanity.

Wyott Ording's story kicks off with Ro-man whittling humanity down to just eight survivors, one of whom he eventually falls in love with and refuses to harm.

Ro-man's leader, named the Great Guidance, is then forced to come down to Earth, kills Ro-man for refusing to harm the survivors, and attempts to bring about the end of humanity by unleashing an army of prehistoric dinosaurs and kicking off a huge earthquake. Still with us?

There's something about these timeless classics that seem to make their villains grow scarier as the years go by. Ro-man takes the form of a large gorilla in a spacesuit throughout the film, something that really shouldn't be scary in the slightest really, however his grainy quality and oversized outfit really is quite off-putting.

With such a well-crafted storyline behind it, we're really at a loss over why this has gone down as one of the worst films ever made.
