lights on
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
scariest TV monsters for this list we’re
looking at the television creatures that
creep us out the most based on their
grotesque physical appearances
spine-tingling characteristics or any
special abilities they may possess that
have the potential to scare the living
crap out of us
however no anime characters will be
found on this list as we’ve already
compiled a list of our favorite anime
monsters number 10 ever night’s the
Outer Limits featured in an early
episode of the series the Ebba nights
are an alien race with heightened powers
that allow them to manipulate the five
senses so while these guys might not
look as freaky as the other monsters on
this list they can completely mess with
your brain you know that thing that
controls your body so they are not to be
underestimated thanks mark the ever
Knights can fill your mind with
illusions as a form of mental torture
any humans affected end up becoming
suspicious of themselves and their
current predicament due to the insidious
mind games which have completely warped
their emotional well-being and
psychological state you turned in your
grandfather didn’t you
he forgave you whether they’re real or
not these space monsters scare us to the
outer limits of our sanity your decision
to cooperate was intelligent and brave
number nine the infant atta American
Horror Story our children adorable in
most cases yes but when we’re talking
about American Horror Story odds are the
answer will be a resounding no brutally
dismembered as an infant as revenge for
his father’s abortion clinic young
Thaddeus Montgomery is mourned by his
parents they lived there with their son
Thaddeus that is until the baby was
kidnapped and found dismembered however
dr. Charles Montgomery can’t accept his
son’s death and decides to stitch him
back together piece by piece the baby is
upstairs and waiting for you in the
nursery
unfortunately what comes back is not his
son but a murderous creature fans have
come to call the infant Tata I thought
you’re hungry I tried to nurse him right
he wasn’t milk here is craving wrinkled
and twisted with black eyes and
razor-sharp teeth the infant odda has
been locked in a basement for decades
due to its relentless thirst for blood a
ferocious and animalistic monster that
definitely makes you squirm
[Music]
number eight the pool zombie are you
afraid of the dark and it relaxed
there’s nothing down there
this might put you off swimming for a
while you sure it’s okay yes just be
careful
waiting in the depths of a swimming pool
that was built over an old cemetery the
pool zombie is a merciless spirit that
preys on unsuspecting victims as an act
of vengeance for the disturbance of his
burial site they built the pool they had
to keep rid of an old cemetery and move
the bodies at first taking a jaws like
approach to the monster the episode
slowly builds it up as an ominous but
unseen presence in the water
but once the pool zombie finally does
show itself you’ll wish it had stayed
underwater
hideous in every sense of the word its
disheveled and decrepit appearance would
make anyone’s skin crawl and we haven’t
even mentioned its nasty smell
number seven the Fluke man the x-files
found an alligator in the sewer a couple
years ago strong in he’ll tell you that
clamped onto me like a vise if you
thought the urban legend about
alligators living in the sewers was
freaky
wait till you get a load of this guy the
accidental result of cell fusion gone
terribly wrong thanks to some
radioactive waste this hellish
abomination prowled the murky sewer
system of New Jersey viciously attacking
any innocent people it came across it
was born in it in a primordial soup of
radioactive sewage although it’s pale
skin and sharp teeth are already spooky
enough it’s what this monster can do to
its victims that makes it truly
terrifying through its bite it can
transmit larvae into the victims body
where this parasite will feed on its
hosts for nourishment what may be worse
is that this process is how the fluke
man reproduces it hadn’t occurred to me
but I think that the Fluke in the corpse
might have been an incubating larva this
creature or whatever it is is
transmitting its eggs or larvae through
its bite number six the gentlemen Buffy
the Vampire Slayer head of a group
called the gentlemen group Oh what the
gentlemen don’t know I said no with
their uncanny ability to float above the
ground the gentlemen eerily glide their
way onto our list
[Music]
striking fear into the hearts of anyone
who gazes upon their pale demeanor these
killer humanoids are always dressed in
nice suits and constantly grinning
through their metallic teeth they have
the power to take away your voice which
is perfect for them as that means you
won’t be able to scream when they cut
out your heart oh did we not mention
true to their name they politely gesture
to one another as they pass around a
weapon to cut the hearts out of their
victims adding them to their collection
number 5 the smoke monster lost what is
the monster what the black smoke the
monster what is it I’m counting up this
imposing puff of smoke was a recurring
threat to the survivors of oceanic
flight 815 who resided on the mysterious
island was it it’s a security system
security system what does that mean
described as an alarm system for the
island the smoke monster was once a man
just like any other that is until he was
cast into the electromagnetic heart of
the island and turned into something
[Music]
on top of being able to float and fly
around at rapid speeds this monster also
has the seriously sinister skill to
transform itself into anyone it’s killed
taking on their physical form and their
memories I’m sorry you had to see me
like that that’s why it’s next to
impossible to predict where and when it
will strike next and when it does it’ll
likely be messing with people’s psyches
it’s good to see you out of those chains
[Music]
you me number for the monster also known
as the demagogue on stranger things
you’ll want to roll higher than a seven
to escape this fearsome creature it was
a seven huh
the wool it was a seven a demagogue it
got me the name maybe inspired by a
Dungeons and Dragons character but the
audience is gradually shown a beast that
is much more real and terrifying able to
travel between our world and a bleaker
and colder parallel 1 through portals
this monster sniffs out fresh blood to
prey on the unsuspecting whose only
warning is the flickering of lights
[Music]
you’d better hope you have something
better than a wrist rocket to protect
yourself you just want to fight the
demagogue in with your wrist rocket
that’s like r2d2 going to fight Darth
Vader perhaps a well-meaning telekinetic
if you can find one as for its victims
alive or dead we’re not sure what
happens to them but something tells us
this story is just getting started
[Applause]
number three zombies The Walking Dead
the namesake of the show these popular
undead antagonists make this particular
universe a living hell
Christ promised a resurrection of the
dead I just thought he had something a
little different in mind
call them walkers fighters lurkers
whatever this incarnation of the classic
zombie doesn’t stray too far from the
norm they like to do one thing and one
thing only
chow down on anything they come into
contact with created by some unknown
virus that’s lurking inside every human
on the planet they are dangerous in
numbers as they’ll swarm a target and
savagely bite and claw for a piece of
meat even if you aren’t eaten by one a
bite is still devastating as it’s only a
matter of time before you join the ranks
of the undead
[Music]
number two weeping angels Doctor Who
don’t even blink bring down your dead
don’t blink if you ask the doctor these
winged creatures are some of the most
ancient wicked monsters in all of
existence and he would know we can age
most powerful most malevolent life-form
evolution has ever produced these stone
statues are scary and incredibly strange
but they’re different from more
conventional monsters in that they
usually won’t just leech off their prey
or straight-up murder them instead
they’ll transport their victims back in
time to before they were even born and
nourish themselves with the potential
energy from the life the target would
have lived fascinating race the weeping
angels the only psychopaths in the
universe to kill you nicely
no boast no faster just suck you into
the bottom that you live to death jeez
time paradoxes eh but this can all be
avoided as long as you never take your
eyes off of them as they can only move
to strike when you’re not looking what’s
that mean it’s a statue when you see it
the weeping angels can only move if
they’re unseen so legend has it that is
one intense staring contest I’m not
blinking blinking
before we reveal our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
yeah
[Music]
What’s Wrong mommy
I remember the abbeys did not begin like
this they became this their DNA is only
1/2 percent different an enamel they
originated from number one White Walkers
Game of Thrones in that darkness the
White Walkers came for the first time
they swept through cities and kingdoms
riding their dead horses hunting with
their packs of pale spiders big as
hounds tall mean tough as nails and cold
as ice a white Walker from Game of
Thrones could most likely scare any
other monster on this list with just one
intense glare from its deep icy blue
eyes along with their chilling
appearance the White Walkers are a
formidable combat opponent for the
heroes of the Seven Kingdoms as their
crystal swords are able to destroy steel
well all but Valyrian steel that is as
if that’s not enough they can also
reanimate their fallen opponents into
zombie-like creatures called whites who
are equally fierce fighters these
abominable snowmen terrorize those who
live north of the wall and for that they
are our pick for the scariest TV monster

monster scared you the most for more
