5. Frankenstein's monster

Adapted from the classic novel by female writer Mary Shelly, the film is one of the first monster movies inspired by literature. Frankenstein's monster was revived four times during the 1930s and 1940s, for example in films such as Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein.

6. Cannibal Hanibal Lecter in the film The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Anthony Hopkins turned the conventional concept of a monster on its head. It is not necessary to put on a hideous appearance and show off destructive power, a monster can be hidden deep inside an elegant, extremely intelligent person with an extraordinary ability to understand others. That is what viewers feel from the character Hannibal Lecter played by Anthony Hopkins.

It is difficult to give an exact definition of this character. Is it a murderer, cannibal or a great talent? The Silence of the Lambs brought Anthony Hopkins to the peak of fame with an Oscar award and at the same time brought in revenue of 460 million USD worldwide.

7. Crazy seagull in The Birds (1963)

Who can forget the crazy seagulls in this classic film directed by Hitchcok? And what's even more special is that no director dares to imitate the ideas in the film. And maybe we shouldn't do that either.

Perhaps Hitchcok's films are meant to be worshiped, not stereotyped. The proof is the failure of the movie Psycho and movies following Hichcock's style. Although there are no official figures on The Birds' revenue at the box office, the terror unleashed on the tiny seagulls is worthy of being on par with other giant monsters.
