Now, although most of our favorite horror villains hail from earth, including: Mike
Myers, Ghostface, Freddy to an extent, most on the other hand do not.
Some hail from an alternate reality or dimension, so today on Top 5 Scary Videos, I’m going
to be counting down our list of the Top 5 Scariest Creatures From Another Dimension.
Before we begin though, be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be
responding to some of your comments, and with that, let’s jump in.
5 Candyman To quote The Candyman himself: “They will
say that I have shed innocent blood...what’s blood for, if not for shedding.
Be my victim.”
Daniel Robitaille, also known as the Candyman, is the main antagonist of the 1992 slasher
film of the same name.
He is also based off of the short story “The Forbidden” from the anthology books Books
of Blood, written by Clive Barker.
Now, although he is a brutal killer with a vengeful spirit, Candyman had quite the tragic
past compared to most horror movie villains, though saying that, he is just as dangerous
and just as deadly as any other horror movie icon.
He is typically portrayed in the form of a lean and really tall African-American man,
around 6ft 5, dwarfing over the films protagonist.
His attire consists of a large brown fur trench coat, a white cravat around his neck, gray
pants, a pair of polished leather shoes and a bloody hook in the place of his right hand.
Now, not too many of his powers have been displayed throughout the movies, but it is
well known that he is immortal because he has been around for centuries.
He has the ability to teleport at fast speeds, as well as phasing through walls.
He has superhuman strength, and regenerative capabilities.
He has also shown some form of telekinesis, along with the ability to fly or levitate.
The way to summon Candyman is by saying his name three times into a mirror, which is likely
the last thing you will do before you die.
4 The Babadook To quote Mister Babadook: “If it’s in
the word or it’s in a look, you can’t get rid of the Babadook.”
Chilling.
Mister Babadook or simply known as the Babadook, he is the main antagonist of the 2014 Australian
horror movie of the same name.
It most generally appears as a towering, shadowy bogeyman wearing a black coat and a hat, with
long, claw-like hands and a pale, frightening face.
It will haunt whomever reads its poem and hides inside a pop-up book that mysteriously
appears in a random home at any given time.
The Babadook is considered to be the embodiment of grief: Denial, Anger, Fear, Bagaining,
Acceptance.
Thanks to some brilliant special effects, the monster, aside from being a gay icon,
has become one of the most beloved, yet feared creatures in horror history.
Now, when the book is read, it will summon Mister Babadook to haunt and terrorize the
victims.
It appears to predict the actions that hosts of the Babadook will take.
It seems to be of limited indestructibility; when torn apart, it reappeared taped together,
but fails to return from being burned.
I personally have all of my fingers crossed for a sequel.
3 The Demogorgon The Demogorgon, also known as the Monster,
is the main antagonistic force in the TV show Stranger Things.
It is a predatory humanoid creature that entered Hawkins, Indiana in November 1983.
The creature originated from the parallel dimension known as the Upside Down, and when
Eleven made interdimensional contact with it, a gate between dimensions opened up, releasing
The Demogorgon.
The Demogorgon is a tall and thin humanoid creature with elongated limbs.
Its head lacks facial features, that is until it unfurls the flesh like a flower to reveal
“petals” lined with many sharp teeth, and a large open mouth.
The physical presence of The Demogorgon is often preceded by the creature’s guttural
growls and shrieks, alongside all the lights in the area flickering on and off.
The creature possessing several unique abilities, including: Interdimensional travel, strength,
telekinesis, blood detection, regenerative healing, and durability.
Now, this creature passed through, terrorizing Hawkins for a week, abducting various residents
in the process and taking them back to the Upside Down, usually killing them.
2 Pennywise IT, also commonly referred to as Pennywise,
is an ancient alien/eldritch monster and the title character of Stephen King’s novel
of the same name, IT.
Pennywise is a shape-shifting creature known as a Glamour who is billions of years old.
Now, although it did live on Earth for many years, Pennywise originated in a void/dimension
outside the regions of space known as the Macroverse.
Its real name and species are called Deadlights, however, few know this fact which is why it
is referred to as IT or Pennywise.
Its original form is that of a female spider, and it lives deep below the fictional town
of Derry, Maine.
It has the ability to morph into any other person, animal or object.
This gives Pennywise the ability to transform into a target’s loved one or their worst
psychological fear.
However, like its name suggests, its favorite and most common form is that of a circus performer
named “Pennywise the Dancing Clown”.
It’s real name is unknown, however in the novel it is referred to several times by the
name Robert “Bob” Gray.
This may actually be an allusion to real-life child cannibal Albert Fish, who often referred
to himself as Robert Gray.
Now, Pennywise’s primary goal is to feed on humans, particularly children, because
according to the creature, children taste the best, not to mention frightened flesh
tastes better and it uses fear to salt the meat.
Love.
1 Cenobites The Cenobites are extra dimensional beings
who hail from the works of Clive Barker, including The Hellbound Heart, and the nine Hellraiser
movies.
They can reach Earth’s reality only through a schism in time and space, which is opened
and closed using certain unearthly artisfacts, the most common being a puzzle box also known
as the Lament Configuration.
Now, they vary in numbers, appearance and motivations depending on the medium they appear
in.
But, to quote Clive Barker in The Hellbound Heart: “When then was he so distressed to
set eyes upon them?
Was it the scars that covered every inch of their bodies, the flesh cosmetically punctured
and sliced and infibulated, then dusted down with ash?
Was it the smell of vanilla they brought with them, the sweetness of which did little to
disguise the stench beneath?
Or was it that as the light grew, and he scanned them more closely, he saw nothing of joy,
or even humanity, in their maimed faces: only desperation, and an appetite that made his
bowels ache to be voided.”
All of the Cenobites have horrific mutilations, and wear fetishistic black leather clothing
that often resembles religious vestments.
These creatures escort their victims into a horrific dimension of eternal pain, which
is utterly disturbing, and depending on who you are and what you’ve done, they can offer
either pleasure or pain, but mostly pain.
The Cenobite dimension is depicted as a massive labyrinth resembling MC Escher’s Relativity
lithography, with Leviathan levitating above its center.
Freaking stuff.
