W is for The Wolf Man
This classic horror flick debuted in 1941 and featured Lon Chaney Jr, the son of legendary actor, Lon Chaney. The film has the same ol' premise: Man is bitten by a werewolf and then becomes one...blah, blah, blah. I know it sounds boring, but it is a classic. Have you seen it? Here's a little poem the villagers would chant.
Even a man who is pure in heart
and says his prayers by night
may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms
and the autumn moon is bright.
Cool, huh? Have you seen the trailer?
X is for Xenomorph
What is a Xenomorph? The Xenomorph is the fictional extraterrestrial species in the sci-fi Alien films. How about this alien for a classic monster? This beast starred in it's first film, Alien back in 1979 with Sigourney Weaver. Wow, what a film! Even to this day, fans go crazy for the Xenomorph. It needs a host in order to reproduce and finds a plethora of them on board the Nostromo. *shivers* Ever since the Xenormorph was conceived, this series has spun more spin-offs that it's mindboggling. In case you were wondering here is the series list of films and I suspect it will continue to grow:
* Alien (1979)
* Aliens (1986)
* Alien 3 (1992)
* Alien Resurrection (1997)
* Alien vs. Predator
* Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
* Prometheus (2012)
And let's not forget the queen. She's a total bad ass too. Have you seen all the Alien films? I've seen most and I still can't get enough of this classic monster.

I've seen all of them. Aliens is still my favorite. Heck of a roller coaster ride!
Two great classics! I felt Alien went a bit downhill at Alien 3 though.

Alien is a truly terrifying movie. I agree with Timothy, Alien 3 went a bit downhill, but I actually like Alien Resurrection. :)

Did not even know the alien had a name! Wow. Wouldn't Prometheus technically be first since it is a prequel to the alien series?
Alien and Aliens are two of my favorite movies and to this day I think the xenomorphs featured are some of the scariest beings ever created.
Alien freaked me out when I was little. I still have to watch Prometheus.

I haven't seen every one, but the first two are classics.
I'm a classic movie monster girl, too. Such great stuff. Nothing like it.
I remember watching the first Alien movie all alone...scary...
Clap for the Wolf Man :) Sorry, that was a song...
I think Sigourney Weaver was scarier than Xenomorph :)

I did xenomorph last year :) - you definitely win for animated gif - that's a very creepy repeat!
Werewolves, now there is a classic, classic :)
