scenes in movies for this list we’re

and shocking results if this isn’t

our list of the top 10 funny animal
attack scenes and the top 10 monstrous
animal attack scenes number 10 hellhound
Chase The Omen
the hellhound from the 2006 remake of
The Omen is as loyal as any other dog
the problem is that his loyalties rest
with Satan and his demonic offspring
when Damien’s adoptive father comes home
to do the devil child in the hellhound
naturally plays watchdog in a harrowing
chase it pursues Liev Schreiber down a
pantry just when it looks like this
unstoppable servant of Satan has him
Shriver outwits the month with a
trapdoor this is why you don’t send a
Rottweiler to do an ax-wielding nanny’s
job we don’t be a good watchdog sir
believe me you’ll be grateful on those
long trips away number 9 spider in the
shower arachnophobia whether it’s Norman
Bates or a small spider the shower is
the most vulnerable possible place to
suddenly be ambushed excluding maybe the
toilet this 1990 creature feature makes
the audience tingle with anxiety as a
spider crawls up a shower curtain and
leaps onto an unsuspecting young lady
piece watching the eight-legged predator
creep around her naked flesh we can’t
help but check our own bodies in
paranoia as disturbing as the scene is
it also works in some welcome humor as
the bathing beauty finally realizes
she’s not alone number 8 Cujo and the
car Cujo
whoever deemed dogs man’s best friend
clearly never met Cujo in this
adaptation of the Stephen King classic
Donna Trenton and her son arrive at a
rural house as the lingering
cinematography closes in on the mother
and son the audience is tricked into
thinking they’re witnessing matters from
cujo’s point of view then from the cars
other side the mongrel unexpectedly
emerges
as over-the-top as Cujo might be this
scene preys on our fears of being
trapped in a claustrophobic area with an
unrelenting beast trying to break in bad
doggy
number seven Bruce Lee vs. a bull
challenge of the tiger with a title like
challenge of the tiger one would think
this movie would include a fight
involving you know a tiger instead we
get Bruce Lee who is not Bruce Lee Lae
but is known as a Bruce Lee clone taking
on a bull which to be fair is equally
badass literally taking the bull by the
horns
Lee’s Wong Leung engages in a showdown
that’s as ridiculous as it is
entertaining armed only with a cape and
his own fists the martial arts master
squarely kicks the bull and the camera
multiple times then as a grand finale
Lee delivers his version of the Estacada
number six the lion sleeps tonight the
ghost and the darkness I’m going to sort
it out very loosely based on actual
events the ghost and the darkness
centers on an engineer and a hunter
trying to take out a couple of
man-eating lions in Africa after
teaching one line about the circle of
life val kilmer attempts to attract the
other one with a blazing fire the
overgrown feline catches Kilmer
off-guard however hunting him across a
bridge and up a tree
after snatching a trusty rifle though
our hero finally dethrones the king of
the jungle well that’s one way to sort
it out number five when wolves attack
the gray the wolves were scared of
people not if we’re near their den the
gray almost feels like something out of
science fiction with the characters
landing in a foreign terrain populated
by savage monsters get off are you
motherfucker the monsters in question
are wolves and never before has the
species appeared more ruthless from the
initial moment one takes a bite out of
Liam Neeson it’s clear we’re in store
for one hell of a survival story with
eyes glowing in the dark
bloodthirsty teeth and spine-chilling
growls there one pack you’ll never want
to encounter in the dead of night or on
a foggy day
number four I’m gonna kill the bear
the edge god damn right today I’m gonna
kill the mother fucka from the early 80s
to the late 90s Bart the bear was one of
the most popular trained animals in
showbiz the Kodiak bear made one of his
final appearances in the edge where he
stalks a stranded Anthony Hopkins and
Alec Baldwin using blood to lure Bart
out the men set a trap for him when that
doesn’t work
Hopkins settles the score man to bear
equipped with a sharpened piece of wood
he impales Bart through the chest and
relishes in his remains
now that’s man vs. wild number three
t-rex breaks free Jurassic Park as cool
as those velociraptors are nothing can
top a t-rex the build-up to the
Tyrannosaurus in Jurassic Park is
nothing short of exhilarating we know
something big is coming as water ripples
in a cup
when the carnivore finally surfaces
we’re not sure whether to scream or
cheer
this scene has too many iconic moments
to count from the t-rex flipping the car
to the lawyer being eaten on the toilet
the sheer sound of the t-rex is roar
however perfectly sums up this scenes
awesomeness in all its majesty
hmm number two birds attack gas station
the birds look although they might seem
harmless birds can be truly chilling and
even frightening presences as
represented in this 1963 classic from
Alfred Hitchcock tagging what do you say
come on the birds of course works in a
number of bird attacks each one more
suspenseful than the last in this
particular sequence the feathered fiends
instigate a gas station explosion and
engulf the town caged in a phone booth
Melanie is forced to watch the fiery
chaos ensue with cars crashing horses
stampeding and birds pecking people to
death this scene is the very definition
of apocalyptic before we’re devoured by
our top pick here are some honorable
mentions
number one Chrissy’s last swim jaws
what’s your name again
Chrissy where are we going swimming
while just about any shark attack
sequence from Jaws could have topped
this list the Films opening earns this
spot for accomplishing so much with so
little never actually exposing the shark
as it advances towards a skinny-dipping
lady this scene instead builds tension
through John Williams haunting score
bill Butler’s spectacular cinematography
and Susan bikinis utterly convincing
performance as Chrissy
whether you’re screaming in your seat or
running out of the theater screaming you
won’t be going in the water anytime soon
