giant snakes giant spiders giant bunnies
giant everything welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 monstrous
animal attack scenes in movies for this
list we’re taking a look at big screen
scenes in which supernatural beastly
animals attack men we’ve excluded scenes
where monstrous khonshu type creatures
fight each other because those are
reserved for a countdown of their own
and just so you know a spoiler alert is
probably in order number 10 Bunny’s
floppy hoppy Bunny’s night of the Lepus
there’s actually a term for people who
fear overgrown mutant rabbits or at
least rabbits in general leap horror
phobia can something so adorable ever
really be threatening though while
undeniably silly night of the Lepus does
turn its fluffy friends into
intimidating creatures at least to some
extent with herds of vicious bunnies the
size of bison ramming through windows
and sneaking up on truck drivers you
might just hop out of your seat a couple
of times
whether you’re laughing or screaming the
where rabbit attacks in this campy
horror flick are more priceless than 24
karat gold
number nine caught in a web eight legged
freaks so you’re trying to tell me that
a giant spider ate Gladys eight legged
freaks pays homage to the seemingly dead
V movie genre while maintaining a
self-aware sense of humor this scene in
particular athlete blends horror and
comedy as a colossal creepy crawler
intrudes on a towel Scarlett Johansson
before she became famous of course
pressing her against the wall
the CGI spider and tangles ScarJo in its
web and right after she took a shower to
David Arquette’s Chris isn’t much help
trying to fend Spidey off with a chair
and scissors fortunately scar Joe’s mom
has it covered being the local sheriff
number eight get the antenna them them
more than earns the exclamation point at
the end of its title with some classic
big bug attack moments the most
memorable scare in the movie is when one
of these insects finally reveals itself
to the audience and a petrified lady
emerging over a hill in all of its
animatronic glory the bug homes in on
its screaming prey the cops are there to
combat the Beast though teaching us all
a valuable lesson
if man eating ants ever show up always
aim for their antenna
number seven busting a gut tix
originally titled infested for test
screenings this eventual
straight-to-video creature feature will
make you crave the days when vampires
were the only bloodsuckers in the
monster racket
a notable highlight from the film is
when one of these mutated pests gets
attached to Carlton banks we mean
alfonso ribeiro appropriately playing a
character nicknamed panic Ribeiro cries
himself free the tick gets under his
skin however and an enlarged arachnid
like creature later bursts out of its
human host in demonic possession fashion
he won’t be dancing along to Tom Jones
anymore number 6 rodents of unusual size
The Princess Bride Wesley what about the
are Ulysses rodents of unusual size I
don’t think they exist The Princess
Bride has everything one could want from
a fairy tale including some good
old-fashioned monster slaying after
enduring two of the fire swamps three
terrors Wesley and Buttercup must
overcome a rodent of unusual size or
Rous for short
a fierce battle between the dashing
swashbuckler and the crazy critter
ensues getting down and dirty
Wesley must use his swordsmanship
exceptional strength and wits to prevail
once the brute is set ablaze our hero
takes it out with three badass final
blows it appears they do indeed exist
number five
broke into the wrong rec room tremors
what the hell are you talking about over
the next time you’re in the desert be
sure to watch your step you never know
when a graboid might pop out and gobble
you up in tremors Kevin Bacon and the
gang elude the burrowing sandworms by
getting to a higher altitude they
attempt to warn a couple seeking refuge
down in a basement one of these
grotesque grubs busts in however and
attempts to give them tongue
good thing they have an arsenal of
firearms to take the graboid out in a
sequence that equal parts humorous and
kick-ass
number four the basilisk Harry Potter
and the Chamber of Secrets Harry
Potter’s second year at Hogwarts really
sucks the audience in with its whimsical
mystery in The Adventures final act
Harry comes face to face with Tom Riddle
while avoiding direct eye contact with
the basilisk
the serpent comes close to finishing the
wizard boy when Fox the Phoenix or Zen
lines the beasts and delivers Godric
Gryffindor sword
with a menacing environment thriving
tension and exceptional staging this
climax amounts to a thrilling showdown
as Harry once again proves himself as
the Boy Who Lived and a true Gryffindor
mock wasn’t it number three mutations
The Hunger Games how is that so – what
as a finale to the 74th Hunger Games a
pack of wild wolf / beast hybrids is
sent to level off the remaining tributes
the main gene mutations become the least
of Katniss and Peeta’s problems though
when Cato shows up do this to their
fight for survival builds to a
heart-pounding moment in which Katniss
must make a crucial decision while our
heroes ultimately come out on top
they’re left feeling far from victorious
demonstrating that her compassion is
equal to her courage Katniss put Cato
out of his misery as the mutts rip him
apart
number two swallowed whole anaconda
anaconda has quite a few memorable kills
courtesy of its slithering antagonists
perhaps the best occurs as Terry and
Danny find themselves wrapped in an
awkward threesome with the enormous
snake after breaking out of the net the
Anaconda decides it had rather have Paul
Cerrone for dinner instead as it coils
around Cerrone and suffocates him to
death we get a pretty cool point of view
shot from inside the snakes gaping mouth
a satisfying if not unintentionally
hilarious payoff the hunter becomes the
hunted with the snake swallowing him
whole before we frantically run away
from our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
number one Shelob the Lord of the Rings
The Return of the King
never before has a giant spider been
more frightening or convincing than
Shelob in the Lord of the Rings The
Return of the King just when it looks
like Frodo’s escaped she lobs hellish
lair she surfaces again and rams her
stinger through the hobbits gut the most
shocking and subtly intense moment in
the series is immediately followed by
one of its most triumphant as Sam
returns to save his friend challenging
the shadow spider like a boss Sam rises

trilogy’s true hero do you agree with
