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
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!
I remember stumbling across this movie on TV and went from scoffing and laughing at it to being enraptured by the end. And it took me years before I figured out what movie it was. It’s a flat out good movie.
an amazing list. Night of the Creeps, Demon Knight, Dog Soldiers, and Deep Rising are movies i watch every October in the lead up to my movie marathon on Halloween Night (The Crow, Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bow-O-Rama, High Plains Drifter, Tremors, Lifeforce, and Wolfcop will be this years Marathon)
"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've lost count on how times I've watched The Relic, you're right in that the monster is often hidden, but I kind of like that. I have seen most of the others, apart from from razorback, I was immediately impressed by the camera work from what you've shown, and it already reminds me of The Relic, so I'll be watching that for sure, I knew I could count on you for Halloween movies this month, thanks for making another great video.
I don’t know if it still is, but Razorback has been *SUPER* hard to find for years. I honestly lucked out on it being On-Demand on one of my free movie channels back when my family had Comcast in the mid aughts.
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).
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 TH-camrs 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.
Night of the Creeps did not get a major release. No promotion. In 1986, I would have been well aware of any sci-fi, horror, or monster movie in theaters and I never heard of it until the mid-90s when I saw it in a video store.
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
I still consider Dog Soldiers one of the best werewolf films ever made. I do have a soft spot for Night of the Creeps. A friend and I had a Dick Miller horror marathon a few years ago. Which included that and others like Chopping Mall.
I love watching Q with my father as he will always talk about the parts of NY this was filmed in and what he was doing at the time (we live in Manhattan). My friends and I watch Demon Knight every Halloween and laugh our asses of at everything Billy Zane says & does
I have to say, I've discovered your channel a few months ago and I've found every video to be a very rewarding watch... but this one might take the cake. All the films I have seen on this list are either some of my favorites or just an absolute blast to watch. DEEP RISING still doesn't get the love it deserves.
Tom Atkins stole the show. The scene where he goes insane and starts shooting while spinning is comedy gold. Deep Rising is super underrated. Fun characters, memorable lines, great score by Jerry Goldsmith. Come on, you have Kano, Sagat & Jean Grey together. Alligator is great as well. Avoid the sequel. Not worth your time.
Deep rising suffered from being from the transition period between practical effects and CGI when CGI still looked terrible. Rob Bottin did the practical effects though and he's a legend for his work on John Carpenter's the Thing.
Great start for Spooky Moth! I know mostly about these movies but still are funto watch, my favs are the Deadly Spawn, Mimic, Deep Rising and Relic. Can't wait to see more videos related to horror since i just love Halloween🔥🔥🔥
Great to see The deadly Spawn getting some love, that film is awesome, it has no right being as creepy and at times horrifying as it is on the budget is was made for. The monster effects are fantastic for a film this cheap, it just shows how much effort and hard work went into it, yeah it's let down by some of the acting and camera work but it's more entertaining than a lot of the guff spewed out as horror these days :) Also, Kudos for mentioning Demon night, the relic, Deep rising, Dog soldiers and Razorback, under rated gems, them all :)
Great job, many faves like Deep Rising, Razorback, Relic, Demon Knight and The Deadly Spawn (which only cost $25,000!!!) Some faves not included are Monster That Challenged the World, Creature Walks Among Us, The Pit, The Gate, Split Second and Millennium Bug.
Great list! I don't believe I've ever heard of The Deadly Spawn, but I will look for it. As to others I've not seen, Werewolf of London continues to elude me, and I've just never sat down to actually watch GORGO. Q is a classic. Alligator and Razorback are solid entries for what they are. Night of the Creeps is great fun, and you can definitely see its influence on Slither and similar movies. I actually participated in the Kickstarter for The Void - and very glad I did. The atmosphere and tone were exceptional, and I'll always appreciate quality practical effects. Dog Soldiers is fantastic and one of my favorite werewolf flix of all time - though, I'd say it's probably too well known for this list. Demon Knight, The Relic, Mimic, and Deep Rising are almost foundational for me. I'm still hunting for an affordable and good copy of Demon Knight for my collection, as I somehow missed it back in the day. Still, I love Billy Zane's character and antics so much, Sadler's "oh-so-tired" hero/mentor, and even JP-S' budding hero. Very fun cast of individuals that you get hooked into and really fear their demises or appreciate their dooms. Possibly THE most underappreciated movie in this list, it was overshadowed by the fact that Dumb and Dumber and Legends of the Fall were still in theaters. The Relic was an interesting premise for a monster, and Sizemore a fun character. Little did I know at the time it was based on a book - a good one that was part of a great series. The adaptation wasn't very accurate, but the movie was entertaining. I tend to watch it whenever I come across it, and probably at least once a year. Mimic is really cool, and there are worthwhile aspects to each of the sequels. The original is another one I can't resist watching if I come across it. Finally, Deep Rising is my absolute favorite of these. I watch it at least once a month. It's just fun and I REALLY wanted a sequel to find out the answer to Finnegan's final "Now what?"
Love this list. Overall the ones I have seen, I completely agree with your description of, and the ones I haven't, I have heard great things about & need to add to my wishlist.
I was binging your videos Matt, I have been waiting for you. I can't wait for horror month to keep going and for Resicember month to come back. I'm going to go back and watch 90s horror video you made. Hopefully you make a sequel for 2000s and 2010s horror
Thanks! I'm still figuring out the last few videos of the month. A 2000s horror video may happen, but it may get a little delayed. But it will still happen sometime soon!
@@MattDraper np I can't wait and I joined your Patreon. Add more tiers for more support Also I'm sorry you are going through something, I am going through something to. I'm trying to get by but it's really tough
YES! Night of the Creeps! That was a favorite when I was a kid (born in '79). Along with The Return of the Living Dead, these two movies were the defining Zombies for me. Definitely re-watching this weekend.
I'm sad that I'm a huge movie buff largely to growing up watching horror movies, so there's only 3 of these I haven't seen. But... everyone should watch Night of the Creeps, it's amazing and I still think it aged really well.
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
Q, Alligator, Night of the Creeps, Dog Soldiers, Werewolf of London, and Demon Knight will always be my favorites out of the rest. But there's one more unmentioned here: Piranha. The debut movie of Joe Dante before he made The Howling and Gremlins in the 80s; Dante and Raimi had careers ahead of them with indie films from the late 70s. Recent examples of a great monster movie definitely goes to The Ritual, it even had the best monster reveal we haven't seen in years! Second, It Follows. As a Michigander, an STD monster who wouldn't be seen by others but yourself, continuing to stalk you until you're dead will always be terrifying. Monster movies delving into other genres have also traumatized me as a kid next to closing vanity plates, internet creepypastas, ARGs, or theories based on video games and cartoons and nightmarish imagery in something innocent, so it's best anyone should laugh at me for being a pussy on what I've listed below the previous statement.
I'm quite proud of myself! I only didn't know two these. The unsung slasher vid left me with a lot of homework but this one was just hype to see movies I like that nobody talks about shouted out
All of these picks are great but I have seen most of them. If you're looking for a good unseen monster movie that is a little more off the beaten path, check out Feast, Overlord, Underwater, and Dark was The Night. All awesome monster horror films that need more attention.
Hey Matt (or anyone else who happens to see this), I was wondering if you happened to have any recommendations for movies based on Mothman? He’s my absolute favorite cryptid but I’m not aware of any notable movies based on him, thatre supposed to be good anyway.
Some lesser know monster movies 1. Snow Beast 2. Island Claws 3. The Cellar 4. The Prophecy 5. Scared to Death 6. Slugs 7. Creepozoids 8. Cellar Dweller 9. Slithis 10. CHUD 11. Alligator People 12. Day of the Animals 13. Deadly Eyes 14. Squirm 15. Wolfen
After watching this, I realized the movie Legion might have taken some inspiration from Demon Knight. I think that's the one movie I'll watch from this, also this is the first time I've seen someone mention The Relic.
I did not enjoy Night of the creeps, it was too tongue-in-cheek, they really should have played it more serious. Strange though, since I really enjoyed Demon Knight, and that is pretty humorous as well. Night of the creeps just took it a bit too far I think.
A solar powered tracking device for a wallet? How often do people leave a wallet out in the sun? "I'll be there in 20 minutes, my wallet and I are getting a tan"
Tom Atkins has the best lines in horror movies, and most of those lines are in NIGHT OF THE CREEPS. Best Tom line in my opinion being "What is this? A homicide, or a bad B-movie?". Unfortunately, I still have yet to see Q, RAZORBACK, DOG SOLDIERS, and VOID. I've seen everything else on this list except for WEREWOLVES OF LONDON. The rest I consider excellent, except for RELIC. And, while I thought DEEP RISING was one of the best monster movies, not just on this list, but ever made, I consider the final reveal of the full Octalus at the end of the movie totally unsatisfying. It looked totally animated and unreal. Yes, I know ILM set a really high bar with the dinosaur of the JURASSIC PARK films, but RISING was also a big budget picture, with a high caliber cast. I admired how the filmmakers chose to cast actors instead of movie stars. Not to mention the repartee and dialogue between the characters was witty and quite delicious. And ALLIGATOR is one of the best "nature run amuck" movies who's effects still hold up to this day 40+ years later, and still gives me the creepies.
Id argue Dog Soldiers is too well known now to be counted as underrated, but for a while there it def was. But word of mouth has spu its reputation around like Trick R Treat

The movie species should have been on this list
Of these my favorite is Dog Soldiers. Prior to Prey I use to say it was the best Predator sequel we ever got.
“Prior to Prey” also sounds Ike the name of an awesome horror to movie
'Prey' is feminist bullshit, Predator 2 is a true Predator sequel (and Predators 2010) , Prey is a cringe feminist, woke excrement!
13:36 Matt’s slow reveal of the greatest movies of all time is one of my favorite things about these vids.
What milestone will it take for him to make a full 2 1/2 hour video about his 50 favorite movies
All great choices! I have loved Night of the Creeps, in particular, since childhood.
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
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!

I'm glad you did this chronologically rather than the usual quality countdown. I think it works much better that way.
Treat Williams was one of those actors that always gave 100% to all of his roles no matter big or small it was
Deep Rising
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.
an amazing list.
Night of the Creeps, Demon Knight, Dog Soldiers, and Deep Rising are movies i watch every October in the lead up to my movie marathon on Halloween Night (The Crow, Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bow-O-Rama, High Plains Drifter, Tremors, Lifeforce, and Wolfcop will be this years Marathon)

Wow, I’ve never heard of Razorback and it looks beautiful. Definitely putting that on my list!
I've lost count on how times I've watched The Relic, you're right in that the monster is often hidden, but I kind of like that. I have seen most of the others, apart from from razorback, I was immediately impressed by the camera work from what you've shown, and it already reminds me of The Relic, so I'll be watching that for sure, I knew I could count on you for Halloween movies this month, thanks for making another great video.
The whole book series, especially with the Pendergast character, had potential
I don’t know if it still is, but Razorback has been *SUPER* hard to find for years. I honestly lucked out on it being On-Demand on one of my free movie channels back when my family had Comcast in the mid aughts.
The book series are excellent but slowly move away from horror to straight up mystery.
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).
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 TH-camrs talk about these two.

Black Pit of Dr. M
Trust me.
Ladrones De Tumbas
Two great Mexican horror films
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!
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
Razorback reminded me a LOT of 1979's Prophecy. The Relic was a blast in a packed theater, and based a pretty decent novel.
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”
I like that you put The Relic, Mimic and Deep Rising in a row because they all kinda go together.
Definitely a great list of horror movies to watch this October. My go-to monster movies have got to be Dog Soldiers, Night of the Creeps and The Void
I still consider Dog Soldiers one of the best werewolf films ever made. I do have a soft spot for Night of the Creeps. A friend and I had a Dick Miller horror marathon a few years ago. Which included that and others like Chopping Mall.

All the films I have seen on this list are either some of my favorites or just an absolute blast to watch. DEEP RISING still doesn't get the love it deserves.

Love The Relic, Mimic, and Deep Rising. 90s creature features have a certain feel about them that I love
Great start for Spooky Moth! I know mostly about these movies but still are funto watch, my favs are the Deadly Spawn, Mimic, Deep Rising and Relic.
Can't wait to see more videos related to horror since i just love Halloween🔥🔥🔥

Added a good chunk of these to my watchlist. It's gonna be a good Halloween

Thanks for the amazing video Matt . Big monster movie fan ❤
👍Nice! Alligator is great! Mimic and Deep Rising are just perfect!
Great list! I don't believe I've ever heard of The Deadly Spawn, but I will look for it.
As to others I've not seen, Werewolf of London continues to elude me, and I've just never sat down to actually watch GORGO.
Q is a classic.
Alligator and Razorback are solid entries for what they are.

Wow, Matt. I'm a frequent horror watcher, an amateur fan by no means, and I hadn't heard of most of these.
There are levels to this sh!t.
Love this list. Overall the ones I have seen, I completely agree with your description of, and the ones I haven't, I have heard great things about & need to add to my wishlist.
You've got some choice cheese on this list my friend and I think it was a great list. Have a blessed week.
!!! "Good" movie is subjective. I LOVE Gorgo! It is one of the movies I keep coming back to watch again, like; "Moon of the Wolf".

Seeing Alligator on this list brings back memories of watching this on Fox (before it was Fox) with my mom. Thank you for that.
Dog Soldiers is a smart werewolf film. & I freaking LOVE Night Of The Creeps. 👍🏼
Love this episode! Definitely checking out the few I haven’t heard of. Would love your thoughts on Manborg, and The Suckling.
Deep Rising was almost a backdoor pilot for Skull Island!
'The Relic' is one of my all-time favorite monsters!
the void is easily one of or #1 for my personal most underrated horror movies of all time
A new Matt Draper video! Yes!
I'm quite proud of myself! I only didn't know two these. The unsung slasher vid left me with a lot of homework but this one was just hype to see movies I like that nobody talks about shouted out
I love monster movies I hope you make individual videos about these films.
Love The Midnight. Nice intro
I've already seen most of these but will definitely check out the rest and recheck out some that I've seen.
Dog Soldiers is an absolute must watch. Looooooooove that movie.
Thank you Matt
Great list man, mine would’ve been very similar.
All of these picks are great but I have seen most of them. If you're looking for a good unseen monster movie that is a little more off the beaten path, check out Feast, Overlord, Underwater, and Dark was The Night. All awesome monster horror films that need more attention.
I’ve only seen a third of these, but plan on changing that real real soon. The Void was an excellent one to and it on. Nightmarish visuals.
Hey Matt (or anyone else who happens to see this), I was wondering if you happened to have any recommendations for movies based on Mothman? He’s my absolute favorite cryptid but I’m not aware of any notable movies based on him, thatre supposed to be good anyway.
For real though: hit me with that full-length Ravenous video.
'The Relic' is one of my favorite monster movies!
Dog soldiers is incredible as well as deep rising and demon knight ps matt you should do a vid on tales from the crypt
I'd love to do a Tales video! Kind of a big undertaking but I think it would be awesome at some point.
@@MattDraper cool and true because there is so much
Never thought I’d see Ansem open his mouth to reveal a sponge but here we are.
the independent theater i work at is showing a 4k restoration of alligator later this month haha
I LOVE Deadly Spawn!!! Such a great creature
You know it's a good day when a new Matt Draper video about movies for fellow dang ass freaks drops. 👏
WHERE MY DANG-ASS FREAKS AT
Is it weird I've already seen 70% of this list? After Razorback I've seen every film on this list😅 great list btw!
Demon Knight and Night of the Creeps are both favorites
13 unsung horror/splatter comedies next would be great
Some lesser know monster movies
1. Snow Beast
2. Island Claws
3. The Cellar
4. The Prophecy
5. Scared to Death
6. Slugs
7. Creepozoids
8. Cellar Dweller
9. Slithis
10. CHUD
11. Alligator People
12. Day of the Animals
13. Deadly Eyes
14. Squirm
15. Wolfen

I did not enjoy Night of the creeps, it was too tongue-in-cheek, they really should have played it more serious. Strange though, since I really enjoyed Demon Knight, and that is pretty humorous as well. Night of the creeps just took it a bit too far I think.
Judging by how good all the movies i have seen on this list are, i really need to check out Del Toro's cut of Mimic
A solar powered tracking device for a wallet? How often do people leave a wallet out in the sun? "I'll be there in 20 minutes, my wallet and I are getting a tan"
Glad to see some void love
Lots of great movies on this list. Couple of stinkers too. But mostly they’re great, fun films.
If I wasn't such a coward I would check these and many more horror movies.
The more you watch, the less scary it is.
" Dog Soldiers " apparently is the Sophie's Choice of horror movies.
Tom Atkins has the best lines in horror movies, and most of those lines are in NIGHT OF THE CREEPS. Best Tom line in my opinion being "What is this? A homicide, or a bad B-movie?".
Unfortunately, I still have yet to see Q, RAZORBACK, DOG SOLDIERS, and VOID. I've seen everything else on this list except for WEREWOLVES OF LONDON. The rest I consider excellent, except for RELIC. And, while I thought DEEP RISING was one of the best monster movies, not just on this list, but ever made, I consider the final reveal of the full Octalus at the end of the movie totally unsatisfying. It looked totally animated and unreal. Yes, I know ILM set a really high bar with the dinosaur of the JURASSIC PARK films, but RISING was also a big budget picture, with a high caliber cast. I admired how the filmmakers chose to cast actors instead of movie stars. Not to mention the repartee and dialogue between the characters was witty and quite delicious. And ALLIGATOR is one of the best "nature run amuck" movies who's effects still hold up to this day 40+ years later, and still gives me the creepies.
Matt, if you liked GORGO, what did you think of the two other kaiju films from the same year (1961), KONGA and REPTILICUS?
What's the song used when you start talking about the last movie on the list, the Void?
The spawn worms do look cool though
Great picks in this one. Did you come up with these all by yourself or do you have some kind of collective of handsome men who you bounce ideas off?
Only the most HANDSOME of men
Deadly Spawn is an awesome movie and my rainy days go to
10:08 nice use of music, though I'm surprised it doesn't get flagged.
Id argue Dog Soldiers is too well known now to be counted as underrated, but for a while there it def was. But word of mouth has spu its reputation around like Trick R Treat
0:36 what movie?
Haven't seen the full video other than the intro just gonna say Pumpkinhead is so Underrated.
I really like Pumpkinhead! I didn’t put it on here because I think it could make for a good video on its own.
Nice to hear a Black Sheep reference.
A lot of 80s films, a good thing!
Tom Adkins and Dick Miller in the same movie should have automatically won best picture.
You are more arthouse romantic-drama movie fan then horror I noticed....real top five...A New Hope, Radiers, Godfather 1&2 last Cur.
Deep Rising is great fun - why can't they make movies like that anymore?
Seen all but one of these: Gorgo.
Wow sellout much??? Smh
Razorback looks insane! I gotta check that one out.
