it's all part of death's sadistic design
leading to the grave
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
scariest movie monsters you don't see
i've been intrigued by the supernatural
or rather the possibility of
supernatural
i'm here in hopes of proving its
existence for this list we'll be looking
at the freakiest entities from horror
movies that either remain off-screen or
invisible even if later sequels
ultimately ruin the mystery though the
antagonists can't be seen spoilers can
which of these did you find the scariest
let us know in the comments below
number 10 the creatures bird box this
netflix movie became a phenomenon due to
its tantalizing premise under no
circumstance are you allowed to take off
your blindfold if i find that you have i
will hurt you do you understand well
that and the ill-advised blindfold
challenge in this movie some type of
unknown creatures begin terrorizing the
earth one mere look at them is enough to
cause instant insanity and drive someone
to take their own life she stepped out
of the car
right into the street
as a result survivors are forced to wear
blindfolds whenever they venture outside
the genius thing about this movie is
that we never see the monsters which of
course helps us sympathize with the
characters and their plight it not only
places us in their shoes but it helps us
generate an unbearable amount of tension
like the characters we're not allowed to
look at the creatures and that makes
them all the more terrifying skin game
man huh i'm sorry what the end game
humanity has been judged and we've been
found wanted number nine the entity the
entity even the movie doesn't know what
this thing is the title alone spurs the
imagination what is the entity how does
it work what does it do well it's not
pretty and what do you think happened
the titular entity harasses single
mother carla moran plaguing her with
poltergeist activity and violent
assaults her psychiatrist doesn't
believe her paranormal reports instead
he thinks carla is both delusional and
deeply traumatized and wishes for her to
have herself committed what i'm gonna do
is i'm gonna give you uh some
tranquilizers okay they won't knock you
out but they will reduce your anxiety
which can be as bad as the delusion
itself i want you to take two before you
go to sleep but the truth is far more
malicious audiences like carla never
actually see the entity but also like
carla we know it's there at the end of
the day though there's nothing scarier
than not being believed
call the police mom there's no one in
the house
the front door's locked no one came
through the garage i don't see anybody
you didn't hear anyone
only when you screamed
number eight the boogeyman the boogeyman
every child fears the boogeyman but as
we eventually grow to find out the
boogeyman isn't real i can't escape it
at night
[Music]
still haunts me there must be a reason
at least not as a physical entity this
movie has been criticized for copying
halloween only replacing the corporeal
michael myers with an invisible mirror
ghost years earlier young willy killed
his mother's boyfriend however some kind
of magical mirror captured the man's
spirit and when the mirror is broken 20
years later the spirit is set free to
begin a vengeful killing spree it keeps
haunting me
i don't want to remember
while we do briefly see the spirit in
the mirror before it's broken all its
evil deeds are done under the cover of
invisibility we always fear what we
can't see i know i saw him
are you alright
number 7 the cosmic creature resolution
a great cosmic movie from independent
filmmakers justin benson and aaron scott
morehead resolution does a lot with its
meager 20 000 budget such is the magic
of keeping the evil off screen and its
machinations creative oh we got to get
through this thing here okay we uh
we don't even know if it can do anything
to us
resolution begins simply enough with
protagonist michael attempting to get
his friend chris off drugs by isolating
him in a remote cabin i need to go to
rehab i'm ready man
i'm ready to take me to rehab however
things quickly go off the rails and the
movie veers hard into cosmic territory
michael discovers that the area is
plagued by some type of entity with the
ability to bend reality we don't know
what it is all we know is that it has
one heck of a roar can we try it another
way
and that is plenty scary enough number
six the mothman the mothman prophecies i
think we can assume that
these entities are more advanced than us
why don't they just
come right out and
tell us what's on their minds this
horror film starring richard gere and
laura linney is based on john keele's
book of the same name a very popular
work of cryptozoology the mothman
prophecies recounts the famous mothman
sightings that plagued west virginia in
the mid to late 60s keel famously linked
the mothman to the collapse of the
silver bridge and this becomes a major
plot point in the movie adaptation the
mothman itself is never really seen
rather its presence is depicted through
creepy drawings nightmares and
mysterious phone calls you're according
smaller your father
was born and racing in wisconsin
you lived in a greenhouse on my middle
street
you don't remember how your mother
looked
okay
got my attention
what's even creepier is that the events
of the movie are never really explained
we like the characters are forced to
work everything out for ourselves that's
much scarier than some goofy cgi man
moth thing number five he who walks
behind the rose children of the corn the
titular children of the corn have killed
all the adults in the remote town of
gatlin nebraska after doing so they flee
into the cornfields and live as a cult
worshiping a mysterious entity
[Music]
they kill outlanders and anyone who
turns 19 as sacrifices to the unseen
creature sarah has the gift of sight
she warned us of the coming of the
interlopers
all we see of he who walks behind the
rose some type of bright supernatural
light that envelops cult leader isaac we
also don't know much about him though he
does eventually appear in children of
the corn iii urban harvest
any monster that can convince children
to kill their own parents is plenty
scary in our book especially when we
don't see it number four the ghosts the
haunting the genius thing about the
haunting is that the evil might not
actually exist eleanor did it to herself
look to me anyway like she
deliberately aimed a car at this tree
this movie is based on shirley jackson's
novel the haunting of hill house whose
ambiguity has remained tantalizing a
paranormal investigator named john
markway conducts a study at the titular
hill house wishing to determine once and
for all if it's haunted he invites a
troubled woman named eleanor lance to
stay in the house and she begins
experiencing harmful and frightening
paranormal phenomena what did you say
your name was eleanor lance and i am
expected in hill house unlock those
gates at once like most ghost movies the
entities in question remain invisible
and off-screen of course there's also
the possibility that there are no ghosts
as the mentally disturbed eleanor may
have imagined it all the deliberate
ambiguity has helped make the haunting a
horror classic
whose hand was i holding
number three death final destination
franchise death isn't a traditional
monster but an intangible force that
cannot be stopped and in this series it
finds some really creative ways to claim
its victims it's an accident in death
there are no accidents
no coincidences
no mishaps
and no escapes
in every film the protagonist saves a
group of people from a grisly demise
after having a premonition however the
survivors are now in debt to death and
it has come to collect
you have to figure out how
and when
it's coming back at you
death remains entirely invisible
throughout the series instead it claims
its victims by using elaborate rube
goldberg asked machinations that make
their deaths look like accidents what
happened
it caused todd so much guilt over george
staying on the plane
he took his own life
no
look
he wouldn't do that it's a terrifying
concept and there may be the only movies
that have us living in constant paranoia
for a while there really are a lot of
everyday things that can kill someone
number two toby paranormal activity
franchise the first paranormal activity
is still the best and that's due to its
simplicity forget the complex world
building and family history of the
sequels this is just a simple ghost
story that's told and filmed effectively
katie and mika are tormented by a demon
later affectionately named toby inside
their house and the latter sets up
cameras to capture the paranormal
activity well you know hopefully once we
get on camera we can figure out what's
going on
okay once we know what's going on
we can react appropriately
said activity begins as the traditional
bumps doors creaks and flickering lights
however it quickly escalates to biting
dragging out of bed and even what looks
like demonic possession the most we see
of toby are the creepy footprints it
leaves behind in the baby powder even if
you don't believe in ghosts this movie
had you sleeping with the lights on turn
on the light baby

number one the blair witch the blair
witch project opinion on the blair witch
project remains firmly divided either
keeping the witch off screen was a
genius and creative move by the
filmmakers or it was a massive letdown
that left viewers scratching their heads
for 80 tense minutes we watched through
the cameras of heather mike and josh as
they're seemingly stalked through the
woods by a malicious entity what
happened
nothing happened i'm just very hungry
i'm very tired
and i'm very scared and i just want to
go home
supposedly it's the blair witch but who
really knows that however is the whole
fun of the movie we don't know much
about the story or the mythology the
filmmakers leave everything
intentionally ambiguous and we're forced
to make our own answers it was like a
woman
only
on her
on her hands and everything
it was like here like a
real dark almost black hair
maybe some people don't like that but
it's scarier than any on-screen witch
could ever be the 2016 sequel proves as
much
