Top 20 Scariest TV Monsters Ever

welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 scariest TV monsters for this list we'll be ranking the most frighteningly iconic creatures from the small screen that left a serious impact did we leave any out let us know in the comments number 20. changeling Supernatural the changelings from Supernatural are already unsettling to think about because they can sneak into your life without warning [Music] and then you get into their surprisingly effective look their hollowed-out eyes circular mouth and rows of sharp teeth make them look monstrous all those features being layered over a human face makes the final effect extremely uncanny too the slimy child mimics were just one of the many beasties that made memorable appearances on this much-loved sci-fi horror hybrid it's safe to say they certainly left an impression long after the show left the air number 19. ebonites The Outer Limits one of the most frightening types of creatures from The Outer Limits were known as the ebonites don't touch me after these creatures launch a nuclear attack on Earth for supposedly no reason a group of humans go to confront their enemies they find the ebonites to have unnaturally Long Heads sharp nails and the technology to incapacitate earthlings with barely any effort Drake private dicks these creatures are able to rob people of their voices and mess with their mind in a variety of Twisted ways although it's revealed that the ebonites were secretly working with people on Earth the creatures are still no less intimidating seeing them break the minds of humans so easily made this one planet we'd never want to visit number 18. Slappy the Dummy Goosebumps while adults worried about the Chucky doll from Child's Play when they went to movie theaters the younger generation had to worry about the creepy dummy Slappy at home oh it's the glue didn't hold this villain was so intimidating that he became one of the prominent faces of the Goosebumps Universe this constant source of evil will absolutely mess up a child's life and a bunch of petty waves let me show you how the pros do it however Slappy's goal was really to force anyone foolish enough to wake him from his temporary Slumber to obey his commands the dummy occasionally had extra powers like the ability to summon more plastic friends and the ability to turn humans into dummies Slappy's Relentless capacity for evil and overall creepiness made him a standout franchise villain don't you get it I'm invincible number 17. the tooth child Channel Zero in the late 2010s a creature composed entirely of teeth was conceptualized and brought to the screen the tooth child from the first season of sci-fi's Channel Zero was inspired by a creepypasta story fortunately for the original author it's absurdly terrifying and unsettling story lives up to the narrative the hollow eyes and mouth send chills down our spine it also aims to gain a much more humanoid body from its own brother if this living mass of teeth came at us our own teeth would start to chatter although the tooth child didn't appear often throughout the Candle Cove season it didn't need to one look was enough to haunt us for years to come number 16. the corpse Are You Afraid of the Dark when a few kids discover there is a secret pool hidden within their school they think they've hit a dreamy watery gold mine but there's a nightmare hidden under the surface the spirits of a body that was left behind when the pool was built has remains to pull innocent people under although it's initially invisible the heroes eventually bring its ghastly appearance to light it's it looks like a cross of a ghoul and Swamp Thing and not only is the monster hard to harm but it can virtually teleport around pipes to get around if the appearance of this watery monster isn't enough to frighten you the fact that it will keep coming at you relentlessly definitely will [Music] get over there swim [Music] for 15. white walkers Game of Thrones HBO's hit adaptation of Game of Thrones didn't disappoint when they brought their much discussed White Walkers to the screen [Applause] the incredible makeup work makes these merciless ice creatures look bone-chilling from the first moments you lay eyes on them their zombified almost mummy-like skin and unnatural body design make them appear otherworldly the white walkers are also intimidating because the super strong creatures bring cold wherever they go although they can be defeated with a bit of dragonglass trying to slay a white walker with the material is much easier said than done there's few things that can warm you when one of these Frosty creatures lays their icy Gaze on you number 14. famine Supernatural we're back to Supernatural again this time for one of the show's most striking and memorable monsters on the surface this physical manifestation of famine doesn't appear to be anything to write home about appearing as a wizard old man in a wheelchair these appearances can be deceiving however as this Horsemen of the Apocalypse comes alive when he's hungry for fresh Souls I won't be 10 minutes famine is actually the embodiment of hunger itself it can use this power to control the behavior of others and compelling them to Gorge upon that for which they most hunger it's a unique and uniquely Twisted take on a classic creature cut their throats number 13. demon spawn Ash vs Evil Dead Ash Williams has battled a lot of demons and deadeyes throughout his career as the main protagonist of the Evil Dead franchise so it was gonna take a lot of imagination to create a new creature able to stand alongside some of the other memorable monsters Ash has defeated we think that the demon Spawn from Ash vs Evil Dead makes a fine addition into the Mythos they are incredibly resistant to damage can possess persons shadows and seem to be susceptible only to weapons infused with can Dairy and Magic someone needs to wash your mouth out kid and that someone is me they're toothy Grins and frighteningly gray faces make them appear ugly as Sin even a professional dead-eyed Slayer like ash struggles to put despawn down number 12 Shadow King Legion the legion series presented some fairly dark and horrific story beats for a Marvel show not the least of which was the inclusion of the Shadow King also known as Amal farook this parasitic mutant can inhabit mines and hop from body to body the villain spent a terrifying amount of time within the brains of Siri's protagonist David Heller but no matter whose mind he's in the Shadow King is a tremendous threat he can use his psychic powers to best nearly anybody on Earth farook also comes complete with a monstrous form that almost reminds us of a perverse Humpty Dumpty it has a large misshapen head and an unsettling thousand yard stare just hope the Shadow King doesn't try to invade your mind number 11. vampire angel midnight mass the small community of Crockett's Island all experience remarkable changes after ingesting the blood taken from a winged creature that's referred to in the show as an angel however it behaves remarkably like a Vampire the creature's physical design makes it look like a batty monster complete with large wings and a gaunt appearance although we're told it's something saintly it feels completely demonic the show's refusal to give us a definitive answer makes the creature more Elusive and mysterious but no matter what it is we were just as shocked as the congregation when we first laid our eyes on it number 10. Swamp Thing Swamp Thing there have been a number of live-action depictions of Swamp Thing over the years from the 80s cult classic from director Wes Craven to the short-lived television show from the 90s the DC hero was reborn in 2019 with a visual overhaul right off the bat it feels more massive than ever before this makes every scene where Swamp Thing lashes out feel like a bona fide slasher film it helps that this Swamp Thing was played by Derek Mears who had formally earned accolades for his portrayal of Jason Voorhees in 2009's Friday the 13th the makeup effects are also nothing short of phenomenal between his Burly physical presence and haunting Vibes 2019 Swamp Thing is the most intimidating version of the hero yet number nine Chimera Fringe while the Chimera present within one memorable episode of Fringe may not have been born this way the genetically engineered Beast is certainly the stuff of nightmares a traditional version of the creature possesses a lion's head a goat's body and the tail of a serpent but the fringed version also adds in aspects of vipers and some rhinoceros skin into the mix water it can also inject larvae that will rip out of the victim's body like a chest burster from the alien franchise not only does this evil Chimera hybrid possess tons of evil intentions but it also has a dark design to match the showrunner's morbid imaginations this horrifying Abomination is one of the worst examples of a science experiment gone wrong number eight the infant Tada American Horror Story American Horror Story has executed tons of uniquely dark ideas over the course of its run but the infantata May holds the crown for the most Twisted creation for starters the idea of creating some disgusting Abomination from discarded parts of a lost person is truly disturbing furthermore the end's results end up looking like the true stuff of nightmares foreign this basement dwelling cast off seeks human blood and will stop at nothing to get it its pointy teeth and razor-sharp Claws could easily tear you to shreds the infantara's depressing Origins and horrendous design make it one of the most inspired bits of writing from the Twisted mines over at American Horror Story number 7. the gremlin The Twilight Zone one of the most memorable jump scares in history came courtesy of the gremlin from The Twilight Zone in the nightmare at twenty thousand feet episode No One Believes William Shatner's Mr Wilson when he claims to see something on the wing of an airplane the show cleverly gives us quick glimpses of this Gremlin as it gets closer and closer eventually it gets close enough for a horrifying jump scare but it still gets away before anyone can lay eyes on it the gremlin's unknown Origins and Potential Threat to everyone on board the flight Elevate its scare Factor although people didn't believe Mr Wilson was right about this Gremlin we have concrete evidence that this chilling creature exists [Music] number six the fluke man The X-Files plenty of terrifying people and entities appeared on the X-Files during the show's run however the fluke man arguably stands as the single most terrifying creature in the franchise hookman monster is a product of nuclear fallout and waste his design was apparently partially influenced by series Creator Chris Carter's experience with a dog that got worms between the creature's creepy skin and absurdly unsettling mouth we can definitely see similarities to its real-life inspiration it's also worth mentioning that the fluke Man Has the strength to pull people underwater and is so resistant that it can recover from grave injuries [Music] just when characters think they've dispatched the creature it opens its dead eyes to continue its reign of terror number five the gentleman Buffy the Vampire Slayer there's just something fascinatingly creepy about the facial expressions of the gentleman [Music] sure these four demonic entities are impeccably dressed but they're also maniacally obsessed with stealing human voices and cutting out Hearts the gentleman's tendency to actually behave well like gentlemen is anything but comforting their surgical Precision when assaulting their victims is done silently and seemingly without undue malice [Music] thank you their compulsive and violent actions makes the gentleman's mere existence troubling and chilling to the very bone if they try to be chivalrous and open the door for you make sure you run as far away from them as you can Number Four striga The Witcher the Striker from Netflix's The Witcher takes its inspiration from Slavic mythology but it takes enough Liberties to make its own uniquely memorable impact [Music] the striker we see on the show was meant to be a human princess unfortunately a curse made her into an unnatural monster who will attack most anyone it sees without Mercy despite its thin and lanky appearance the creature has the ability to toss around grown men wearing armor with ease it also communicates an hair-raising shrieks as it pursues its unwilling victims thank you the makeup used to bring the striga to life is realistic and stunning thanks to its intricate backstory and Eerie appearance it remains one part of The Witcher Mythos we don't like to revisit at night number three Walkers The Walking Dead there have been so many exemplary examples of walkers on The Walking Dead that it's difficult to pick which one is the most skin crawling thanks to the wonderful special effects crew of Greg nicotero and his knb effects group we've seen many varieties of zombies throughout the show we've seen everything from bloated creatures and Wells to Undead covered in spikes and even standard Walkers can become instantly more intimidating when they become a part of marauding hordes since the undead can survive anything as long as they have their brain intact fire and bodily injury might not be enough to stop them from biting you [Applause] make sure you aim for the head or you might become the next member of The Walking Dead number two weeping angels Doctor Who we're not denying the Daleks and Cybermen are in the top tier when it comes to iconic Doctor Who villains however we'd argued that the weeping angels are scarier than both of those foes combined you're not looking at the Statue neither are you foreign ask anyone who's seen any of their appearances on who and you'll get a visceral reaction weeping angels are essentially energy vampires that can give petrifying glances with one look a victim can be tossed backwards in time the Angels then feed on their Target's present day life force what makes them more unsettling is that a lot of them have Angelic designs the Sinister intentions that lie beneath the Weeping Angels seemingly innocent hands make them tremendously creepy thank you before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to be

appearance and Freddy krueger-like powers make him a disturbing antagonist who you don't want to sleep on but even after he appeared the demogorgons still reigned Supreme as the most horrifying monster in the stranger things franchise its floral-like head is just waiting to expand and reveal the set of deadly Jaws it has underneath but the tall creature can also rely on its long arms that end with razor-sharp claws unless you have fire nearby your encounter with a demogorgon is doomed to end in disaster even with a flame the creature's unimaginable strength speed and deadly accessories are hard to overcome the demogorgon is a monstrous compendium of our worst nightmares that represents the best modern horror TV has to offer did you enjoy this video check out these other clips from
