15 Most Terrifying Movie Aliens Of All Time

2. Predator

Alien: Resurrection
20th Century Fox

You wouldn't want to find yourself lost in a jungle armed with weaponry in the blistering heat whenever this guy's around, that's for sure. An advanced super-species of alien known as the Yautja, the Predator is a hunter by nature and it takes great pleasure in both stalking and toying with its prey before in engaging in a battle to the death.

With its advanced technology, it can disappear and reappear in an instant while its arsenal of blades, spears and futuristic weaponry gives it a multitude of unique and perversely creative way of killing its opponents.

Now, while the species does have its own moral code (it won't harm anyone unarmed, pregnant or dying), that wouldn't be enough to save you from the sheer fright of seeing them without their protective visor masks. Yes, after taking one look at those moist mandible-filled faces and beady yellow eyes, it's easy to see why they were able to strike fear into the hearts of cinematic iron men Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Glover.

One of the most iconic movie characters of all time, the Predator is terrifying in both appearance and approach.
