Following on from the Fighting Game vote ... I thought I would try another one this time with Film Monsters. (Rules need to be read before submitting a list 
)
Why Film Monsters? Because everyone in some form likes movie monsters. Be they a rampaging beast destroying New York, an occult creature claiming souls, the serial killer lurking in your house, an invasion from space or just some experiment gone wrong. Me personally I adore classic monsters from myths and legends, as well as the more bizarre things that only a film could bring to life.
Naturally there are so many monsters in film that everyone has there own favourites so with that I thought a vote for the top List would be fun, it may even inspire some to check out hidden gems they may have otherwise missed. So get ready as who knows what is lurking out there?
So with that in mind Please send your Favorite Top 30 Fictional Film Monsters to me via PM or by posting in the thread below. If you can't think of 30 send me a top 20 or 10 (10 = minimum).
If you don't order them from 1 - 30 (I prefer ascending order) it will be null and void.
Please name and date the film the monster(s) is from even if it seems obvious, as there are several monster who have appeared in many films but played by different actors or have a completely different visual look to them.
Please Vary the types of monster you choose (Let's say a minimum of 3-4 per type of monster) I know some may be big fans of certain types of monster but I don't really want to see a list like this:
1.Zombies (Dawn of the Dead 2004)
2.Zombies (Shaun of the Dead)
3.Zombies (28 Weeks Later)
4.Zombies (The Horde)
5.Zombies (Night of the Living Dead 1968)
I will be entering my own list, which I will put in the main thread so everyone can see.
I will stop taking votes in just under a month's time. (8th October)
FAQ time:
How do the points and scoring work?
Easy. Number one on your lists will get 30 points, whilst number 30 will get 1 point. I will then tally up all the scores and make the countdown from that. If you send only 10 then the your number one will still get 30 and your 10th favorite will get 21 points.
Who can we vote for?
First it must appear in a film. The word Monster connotes something wrong or evil; a monster is generally morally objectionable, physically or psychologically hideous, and/or a freak of nature. Anything that fits that description or is obviously a monster is allowed (Yes that includes robotic monsters), see the next question for what won't be allowed.
What characters/games are NOT allowed?
No Pokemon, no TV monsters (So X-Files or Dr Who are out for example), No real world killers keep it fictional ... If in doubt ask first
What about Superheroes/villains?
Only supernatural ones (Spider-man/Batman and friends are a definite no-no, Vampires in Blade or say Hellboy's stuff is allowed.) If in doubt ask me, or ask yourself are they a monster or just a criminal.
Do they have to be evil?
As long as they are a monster It's fine by me, if you want to vote for Mike Wazowski then go ahead

What about Books/Comics/Other?
Nope, has to appear in a Film to qualify.
What about Manga/Animation?
If there is a Monster in them then yes by all means vote for them, I don't watch a lot of manga so may need a link or visual reference if obscure.
What are we basing are vote on?
This is purely on what you like the most. If you think Mr Hyde was awesome in Van Helsing then put him as your number one choice of monster, if you liked Lon Chaney, Jr as the Wolfman but don't care for any other wolfman portrayals vote for him and ignore the rest in your list, If Gwangi is your favorite dinosaur monster then vote for him, If you think Bela Lugosi's Dracula is iconic but don't actually like his portrayal then don't put him in your list.
What if I can't think of 30 Fictional film Monsters?
Well the minimum is 10, if you can't think of ten film monsters you like then I'm not sure your really a poster on this forum Seriously if your really struggling to think of any, wait for others to maybe post there lists or use Wikipedia to remind you of your favourites.
So I now await all the lists of 10-30 Fictional Film Monsters.
Let the voting begin, who will be the champion? Can the Vampires enslave the pod People? Is Talos going to topple Clovy? Will Dune Worms burrow into a Tremors nest? Are we going to see another Freddy vs Jason or will Jigsaw get involved? Or maybe someThing will else rise up and claim the prize from 20,000 fathoms below. All I know is not everything is as big as a battleship
It's up to you!
Any further questions let me know!
