Of these my favorite is Dog Soldiers. Prior to Prey I use to say it was the best Predator sequel we ever got.

13:36 Matt’s slow reveal of the greatest movies of all time is one of my favorite things about these vids.

Treat Williams was one of those actors that always gave 100% to all of his roles no matter big or small it was

Fun fact about Alligator, Bryan Cranston worked on that movie when he was younger. His job was stuffing the alligator puppet with fake guts. He talks about it in his autobiography

I had no idea Treat Williams passed away! I'll never forget his role as the undead detective alongside Joe Piscopo in Dead Heat. RIP Roger Mortis.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Arachnia, which can best be described as “ What if Ray Harryhausen made a monster movie in the early 2000s”

"Orca". That is a movie I haven't thought about in decades! My older sister loved it, so of course we watched it quite a few times when I was a wee little kid. The pup falling out of the mother whale is seared into my brain. As is the leg scene near the end. But it was the dread of being out in the ocean in the dead of night that always stuck with me

I was going to make a "real life Human monsters being rehabilited by the media" joke but I'm lazy so I'll just say thanks for another great video!

@MediaFREAKED 3 years ago

Wow, I’ve never heard of Razorback and it looks beautiful. Definitely putting that on my list!

@kevinpauley-dadbodstyle2935 2 years ago

Thanks for giving Deep Rising some love! I adore it! It's so grotesque, so funny, so crazy! It could easily have been a Bruce Campbell vehicle, but Treat Williams works fine! Also, I don't know that I ever laughed so hard at a single line in a movie as I did at Joey's "Can you just GET asthma?" Such a fun flick!

Deep Rising and The Void are the only movie I didn't see from this list.

Gotta say never thought Night Of The Creeps or Q were forgotten; over the years I've seen YouTubers talk about these two.

As someone who loves cockroaches (all insects) and creature flicks, I knew I was gonna love Mimic. Throw in that, as a Mexican-American, I get excited about uniquely Mexican Horror films. Thank Goddess for Guillermo❤️ And Night of the Creeps is a great movie. WTF was wrong with people in 1986? As someone who was an avid Horror fan in 86, and missed it until like 2005, I blame myself.

22:26 just curious have you seen Orca cause that is genuinely the one "Jaws knockoff" that transcends the reason for its existence and becomes a reallly emotional monster movie that evokes Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Moby Dick

@RavenHouseMystery 2 years ago

I've actually seen all the films you highlighted here, though many I haven't seen in years. One of the benefits of being a Gen-Xer, we've been watching monster movies for a very long time now.
One monster film that is a favorite guilty pleasure of mine is Attack Of The Crab Monsters (1957).

@Ineedahandleyo 2 years ago

I like that you put The Relic, Mimic and Deep Rising in a row because they all kinda go together.

@jasonmaclean719 3 years ago

Razorback reminded me a LOT of 1979's Prophecy. The Relic was a blast in a packed theater, and based a pretty decent novel.

@jasonhunter2819 3 years ago

100% track down Razorback. It is bizarre, trippy, violent and pretty horrifying on both the human and monster side of things. Its a real hidden gem

and Night of the Creeps is one of the funniest camp horror movies ever, 'Thrill me' Tom Atkins fucking RULES in this

Alligator is my oldest memory of catching something on tv as a child I probably shouldn’t have. I remember watching TV on my Grandma’s patio when I was about 5, and I turned to a channel to see a police officer hauled out of his car and drug down the street by a massive gator. It didn’t really scare me but I quickly changed the channel cuz I didn’t want to get yelled at for watching a scary movie, but the image has always stuck with me
