Scariest Movie Monster Revealed
BRITS have voted the Alien from Ridley Scott‘s classic sci-fi horror film number one in a list of the scariest movie monsters of all time.
A poll carried out among 4000 of Britain’s film fanatics showed that movie-goers are still terrified by the beast thirty two years on from its release.
Second place was taken by the man-eating great white shark from Steven Spielberg‘s Jaws while third place was taken by the invisible, laser-wielding alien from 1987′s Predator.
The poll was carried out by Jameson to celebrate the next screening in the Jameson Cult Film Club series.
The top five was completed with the underground sewer dwelling Creeper from Jeepers Creepers in fourth place and Jeff Goldblum’s half-man, half-fly in The Fly.
