Honesty, as a kid, I found Godzilla from the 1984 movie to be utterly terrifying and the first time I was ever afraid of the character.
For me, it's the scene right after he destroys the Super X, and there's that menacing shot of him surrounded by all the dust and red covered sky, that got to me. It's like all hope for the city is totally lost in that moment, and the main characters are right in his line of destruction. While I think the original cut is the better film overall, I prefer watching the 1985 cut when I can. It's shorter sure, but quicker pacing, and it hits all the same notes in the right places. Plus, I just can't watch the film without thinking of Raymond Burr's excellent scenes.
This! And also Biollante. Her second form terrified me so much as a kid, that I couldn't watched the rest of the movie. Her roar her appealing I was so scared that I have to hide behind the table, when the scene came on with Biollantes second form. But now today I'm a big fan of Biollante. She's great kaiju!
@DesiredEternity YEAH EVEN B4 SEEING THE ACTUAL MOVIE THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT GODZILLA CAN DO JUST AWES ME
Who's afraid of Godzilla???
Eh eh? See what I did there?
84Goji is a mixture of unsettling/good.
Orga's attempt to devour Godzilla is easily the most unsettling scene from any Godzilla film. Especially with the added track from the American version.
Yeah I agree it was a pretty disturbing scene to see in a Godzilla film
It was funny imo. Godzilla literally ran into his mouth 🤣
It also helps that Orga’s US roars make him sound like a deformed and misshapen creature.
Which is fitting given how Orga is a failed Godzilla clone.
One of the creepy moments comes from GMK where he's passing through the city and the woman on the ground looks up at him and screams, getting his attention as he abruptly stops and turns his head and directly attacks them with his atomic breath. The other one comes from the Japanese cut of Godzilla 1984 after he picks up the train car. In the 1985 cut, he looks at the passengers through the windows and then throws it down, but in the Japanese version, he walks with it in hand for a moment and you see his reflection passing by a heavily mirrored building before actually dropping it. The reflection was cut from the American release, but I thought keeping it added a creepy atmosphere. One final one I'll add is from the first Godzilla movie where he's reaping destruction through a burning Tokyo and you see a mom clutching her two kids basically telling them that they're all going to die and join up with their dad who is dead. It's a dark and creepy disturbing scene.
GMK: The couple stopping to take a selfie when Baragon approaches. They think they're safe because Baragon is still miles away, unaware that Godzilla is about to recreate his first onscreen appearance with even more devastating results.
Holy shit! I never realized that he really did recreated his 1st onscreen appearance in that scene! Lol.
He is indeed undead because of his heart in the end, reminds me of Jason
Gmk is the scariest design ever
Godzilla 1985 creeped me out as a kid with the unsettling music and Godzilla's unholy eyes. When Godzilla destroyed the Super X and stood over it slowly roaring while the light from burning flames lit him up, younger me noped out. Love that movie.
Good call back, Number.
Same her, he had the most menacing design that was indeed creepy
1985 had my all time favorite roar.
"Noped out" is a great line and describes perfectly in "todays" terms the extra frightened feeling I got as a seven-year-old in the mid 60's watching "Chiller Theater" on a late Friday night and seeing the Wolf Man for the first time stalking the grave digger. I just had to say "NOPE" and ran to the safety of my mom sleeping on the nearby couch until the scene was finished.
I personally find Godzilla 84 more effectively menacing then the likes of Shin and GMK frankly.
Largely thanks to his scenes being shot at dark/foggy times, the moody atmospheric soundtrack, and finally that roar.
80's movies for me were good at creating a distinct grim tone when needed.
Don't forget the Cold War tone in Godzilla 84.
I've always felt Godzilla after dropping the building in the Super X was the scariest moment in the franchise. He's still pissed, he's destroyed the city and there this horrible implication that he actually sees the humans and his blood lust hasn't run it's course yet. It's just amazingly well done to me and chilling.
GMK- Godzilla's look with those soulless white eyes is definitely a scary image.
I mean he's literally a form of ghost so I'm a bit surprised that he didn't make it in a list
@Bonehead ..I call that movie zombie Godzilla and It should have been on this list
Wasn't it possessed by the enraged souls of soldiers and overall people that died in WWII?
@@CommanderBohn Yes. Rather fucked up actually.
The moment when Godzilla falls into the volcano in Godzilla Returns / 1985 for me was terrifying. The roar is more like a scream than a roar. Paired with his body vanishing but his shadow continuing downward on the wall of the volcano it just sends shivers down my spine.
Because of this comment I just looked it up as I've never seen it. It would've been sad like in Destoroyah but man that scream is both terrifying and also kinda hilarious. I wasn't expecting Godzilla to sound like Goofy lol.
Ahh, Monstervision. Good memories.
*Gojira- Radio broadcaster in first film describing Godzilla's rampage coming towards him, going out like a champ and giving a polite farewell to his audience before being horrifically crushed to death
*Gojira- Mom surrounded by flames and death, telling child they're going to see dad before, again, being horrifically killed
*Legendary Godzilla KOTM- Rodan and Ghidorah fighting in the middle of a hurricane
*Kong Skull Island- guy ripped apart mid-air by saw-headed birds in silhouette
*Godzilla vs Hedorah- hippies
*Son of Godzilla- Kumonga's disgusting, disturbing mouth-spike scene dear God what the hell
A very thing that scared me in godzilla vs hedorah was when a literally baby was covered in goo that made me cry out of pure fear
GMK's ending with Godzilla's heart still beating was terrifying to me as a kid.
Shin Godzilla bleeding from his scrote throat strongly disturbed me.
I know this part of the movie isn't suppose to be scary, but when King Kong is waiting for Godzilla inside Mt. Fuji's crater always creeped me out as a kid. Just the way Kong's dead looking eyes gaze toward Godzilla coming into the crater scared me. Another thing that scared me as a kid was the V.H.S. cover (which was just the American poster) of Godzilla vs. Hedorah. The image of the woman screaming and the skeletal remains of people under Hedorah's sludge freaked me out so much, it was one of the only Godzilla movies I didn't want to own or rent. But I got over it pretty quickly after I saw the movie on the old Sci-Fi Channel back in 1996. A great video for this time of year. Hope to see another one like this next spooky season. Happy Halloween!
Kong’s roar from that movie always scares me.
@@samfisk4848 As a kid, me too.
Same. It’s still an off scene to me.
King Kong from that iteration as a kid sometimes scares me but always was over it his roar is awesome
Kong was scary as hell dude! I remember seeing King Kong throwing the boulders at Oodaku, and the way Kong would tilt his head reminded me a lot of a god damn sasquatch or Michael Myers after he kills somebody. With his eyes being shrouded in darkness with an ever so subtle glare, it was horrifying to watch as a kid!
From the Horror Flora review of the 1954 film concering moment nine:
"What really gets me is how Godzilla’s menacing of the mob on Odo Island is restrained by his motivation. It’s yet another thing that sets this film apart from other 50’s monster flicks. In an American movie, Godzilla might have attacked the people then and there to establish his threat. We might get a shot of a minor character looking up at the monster and screaming before being eaten or crushed off screen. The monster would do this not for sustenance or any other reason, but because the movie needed to establish he was a threat. Instead, Godzilla notices the humans, roars at them, then goes back to doing what he set out to do in the first place by swimming off into the sea. Even this early in the series, Godzilla’s actions are driven by in character motivations rather than a formula’s need for conflict. It breaks with tradition, and even misses an opportunity to make the scene scarier, but it keeps Godzilla’s character intact."
Here are my top 10 creepiest scenes in the Godzilla franchise:
10. Death at the aquarium (Godzilla vs Destroyah)
9. Godzilla pukes out blood (Shin Godzilla deleted scene)
8. Godzilla's intimidation display (Godzilla: King of the Monsters)
7. Spacegodzilla rises from the lake (Godzilla in Hell)
6. Hedorah flies over Fuji City (Godzilla vs the Smog Monster)
5. The little Destroyahs attack the soldiers and Yakame (Godzilla vs Destroyah)
4. Godzilla's creepy soulless eyes (Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack) (not a specific moment, but still something worthy of being pointed out)
3. Godzilla's rampage in Tokyo (Gojira)
2. Inside the dead boat with the giant bugs (Godzilla 1984)
Honorable mentions: Destroyah's entrance (Godzilla vs Destroyah), Ghidorah's movements (Godzilla: King of the Monsters) (not a specific scene, but still gives off creepy vibes), Ending scene (Shin Godzilla), Destroyah tortures Junior (Godzilla vs Destroyah), the Meganula crawl across the city (Godzilla vs Megagiurus), people who worship Ghidorah fall one by one (Godzilla: The Planet Eater), most scenes with Kumonga (Son of Godzilla)
1. Godzilla takes over a baby's body (Godzilla Comic) (guys, believe me, I didn't make that up).
good overall. People forget that Godzilla is actually a horror masterpiece. Even hero Godzilla movies preserve a bit of that. My personal favorite scenes are all examples of that. For example, in "The Terror of Mechagodzilla" when Godzilla is finally seen the movie, his introduction is so badass! We spend almost the whole first hour of the movie experiencing the existential horror of the terrors that no human weapons can even slow down, let alone stop. Then, when the movie feels most hopeless, it introduces us to the only one who can save us, the existential horror who terrorizes even the the other horrors. And at first, all we see is Mecha stop and look towards the ocean, then there's a shadow looming over some buildings. At this point we dare not hope, the movie has taken all hope from us. Then, suddenly, like a war howl, the iconic Godzilla roar, and then the shadow is illuminated and it's finally him! Godzilla! And this time nothing is going to stop him. Fans will recall that last time these two monsters met, Godzilla needed help to stop Mecha, this time it's mecha who has help, but that will not avail, why? Because Goji must have been working out in the depths, this time, he's ready to slaughter, and the remaining 40 minutes of movie do not disappoint, as we watch our hero decimate his enemies, save the earth, and then return to the depths having confirmed his status as King of the Kaiju
6:55 Easy. They would have used the same setup as Stan Winston did for Pumpkinhead who had the same leg shape. Stunt performer on stilts with wires for stability for full body shots and for shots from mid thigh up the suit would end around the calves or ankles.
"Shin Godzilla is scary". The dude looks like a burn victim Kermit.
XD
In Gojira, when the guy continues to broadcast out of the tower as Godzilla walks towards it and knocks it down. And the mom huddling with her kids in a collapsing building, saying they'll be with dad soon
The dad probably died from the war less than a decade prior.
I hate and love that scene
The creepiest and most chilling scene is from the 1956 American version of Godzilla. It's the night on Odo Island and this scene is far better than the original Japanese version. Raymond Burr and companion are in a tent and the storm slowly begins to blow in. Under the wind and thunder you can hear Godzilla's footsteps. This scene really scared me as a little kid when this movie premiered. I still think it's the best.
I think the storm scene when Godzilla mysteriously rose out of that rock bed island in the beginning of Godzilla 1985 (Return of Godzilla) was very creepy. Also in the movie, when Godzilla shows up out of the mist in front of the power plant where a security guard notices him first hand and got stomped on (I think) is really creepy. In Godzilla (2014), when the Female Muto stalked the train bridge and attacked the train was super scary.
Great video man! I vividly remember Godzilla King of the monsters and Godzilla raids again creeping me out as a child. The puppet designs in raids again look like something out of a surreal nightmare
Ngl this was a pretty good video! So glad I found this channel months ago
Me too
When Orga tried to eat Godzilla.
This.
Heisei's first appearance was basically just a horror movie.
I love the Godzilla franchise. My mom would take me to the drive-in on weekends and we would eat fried bologna sandwiches and drink Pepsi from glass bottles as we watched Godzilla march across the big screen. Scared the crap out of me but I loved every moment. Thank you mom.
The scariest moment of the Godzilla franchise for me has always been the scene in Godzilla: 2000, where Godzilla just blends into the darkness after the GPN runs into him after he destroyed a roadway. The way he blends into the darkness like a shadowy, demonic being after the van shines a light on him and peaks at the van and then roars at the van after Yuki flashes photos of him was honestly pretty scary, like atmospheric horror, as well as capturing the scale of Godzilla with live action, miniatures and suit mation. There has yet to be a full-on Horror based Godzilla or kaiju movie, where the kaiju are truly frighteningly. The movie Cloverfield is an example of what a kaiju horror movie would look like, as that movie really was terrifyingly unsettling, even disturbing at times.
YESS! I just made a similar comment! That was the first time Godzilla was truly frightening to me. Just standing there and looking at just tiny little people.
The one other thing that was funny about Godzilla Raids Again is that it was the first Godzilla where his spines don't glow when he breathes his atomic breath and because of the success of Gojira 1954 Godzilla Raids Again was a rushed film and it showed Godzilla's first fight against another monster Angirus and the one scene in that movie that was really crazy was during the climatic battle where the fight was sped up right before Godzilla and Angirus went crashing through that temple and Godzilla killed his foe with a bite to the neck along with a dose of atomic breath.
Godzilla's first rampage in Godzilla 2000, the American version, when the fire truck sirens are going, the power goes out in the town, and the luminescence of a raging inferno goes on behind an approaching Godzilla. Cue the 'Psycho'-esque music, Godzilla scouring for his next target and roaring... All of it just comes together to make a truly terrifying scene. It reminded me of the nighttime onslaught of the flying saucers in War of the Worlds (1953).
I was confused when hedorah did that at
1:42
But then my friend told me the reason hedorah flew through a construction is because he's made a sludge and it makes sense and can't believe I actually forgot about that.
You know the part with the flashy images and skeletons?
I'm glad you mentioned Godzilla's initial assault in Raids Again. Thats really a moment that gave me chills when I first watched the Showa blu-rays.
Happy Halloween! :D
You too! Happy Halloween!
I'm surprised that Skeleturtle from Mothra vs Godzilla didn't make it in. It was a good list, although I would have preferred to have all moments that actually appeared in films and not have concept art or cut scenes added in.
Skeleturtle is cute wdym scary?
@@Edsomthing Maybe not scary, but definitely creepy. Can be cute and creepy.
I remember when I first saw him in Mothra vs. Godzilla, I saw him in the background and I genuinely thought my DVD was haunted, but it just turned out to be the harmless Skeleturtle just vibin with the wind.

The music beginning "Terror of MechaGodzilla" frightened my niece
For me, the buildup to 1984 Godzilla's appearance was spine-chilling in a Jaws/Alien-like fashion, and despite the limitations of the special effects, his rampage through the nuclear plant and Tokyo bay reminded me of the best of Hammer Horror in their use of lighting and music. GMK Godzilla seemed like a Saturday morning cartoon villain in comparison. More than any other incarnation, the early heisei Godzilla epitomised what Christopher Lee called "the loneliness of evil".
Props on using the staging area music from Resident Evil 2 I was gutted they left that part out of the remake
Always gonna love a good spooky video about the creepiest moment from Godzilla,so that's cool.
Also I hope yall are having a good day.
The scene from Godzilla vs. Mothra (The Thing version) with the men fighting in the hotel and they look up from the floor to see Godzilla approaching through the window gave me nightmares.
Autocorrect made you Post Mother instead of Mothra.
@@docsavage-8616 Thank you. Stupid Autoincorrect
Nice list! 👍 I always thought the Meganula stalking & attack the couple in the alley in _vs Megaguirus_ was above-average creepy for a G-film 😱 On a related note, the unseen Meganulons dragging the miners underwater to their deaths in _Rodan_ (yes, not _technically_ a G-film) always freaked me out 😰
Yes! As a kid, I too definitely found the worm scenes to be very disturbing!
Even by modern standards, the dark, atmospheric photography of GOJIRA holds up well, creating a sense of unease that is often nightmarish.
The original Godzilla vs. Mothra, when The Big Guy came up out of the ground. At first the steam vents erupted the earth starts to move and then Godzilla rises up and starts shaking the dirt off and looks around. The seen was awesome, scared the hell out of me when I was a kid back in the 70's.
That scene & movie were my first introduction to Godzilla as a kid! Blew my mind!!!!!
The uncut Japanese original Gorjira features nonstop nightmare fuel during Godzilla's final rampage. When I saw that in a theatre during its US premiere in 2003, the hyped-up audience expected Fun Godzilla. By the time Gorjira stomped back to the sea, leaving Tokyo in flames, the audience was dead silent.
One of the best channels i’ve seen in a while
The real reason they removed the part with godzilla with the cow in his mouth was because of size inconsistency.Either godzilla would look too small or the cow would look too large
WRONG
@@PREPFORIT Uhhh...ok
@@PREPFORIT you say wrong but didn't explain so inma just believe what Pho said is fact
One other moment from Raids Again for me, would be when Godzilla is finally leaving back towards the sea again, lured by the many flares in the sky, when a massive explosion draws his attention back towards Osaka. The way he slowly turns around to face the city, mixed with the poor, mangled quality of the suit used in that film, gives me chills.
I think in GMK the scene with the girl trapped in the hospital is pretty unnerving. A little less visually but conceptually unnerving is a girl's soul being bound to a flower/godzilla abomination in Biollante.
Love this, keep up the great work!!!
Your first congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊
Great List!!! Thanks!
No problem! Glad you liked it.
Seems like a waste to throw in scraps that were cut from the movies when there are other creepy and eerie moments in both the films and Singular Point that could've been used. His still-beating heart at the end of GMK, his transformation into Godzilla Ultima in Singular Point looking like he's climbing up out of hell, the sight of Tokyo fully engulfed in the hurricane sized cloud of Red Dust near the series' end, his death at the end of Godzilla v Destoroyah, or when he finally lays waste to Tokyo in the original and they linger on every shot of destruction so you can see it in full. Plenty of great material that didn't require taking from the cutting room floor.
I think the one scene in gmk where that woman in a hospital bed should’ve made the list. Just having the thought of this massive monstrosity slowly walk toward you and you being stuck in a hospital with no way out just sends chills down my spine. Even after it turns and walks a different direction, you think you’re safe. But then the woman sees a massive tail quickly slamming into the hospital. And she’s more than likely dead. And she most likely had a brutal end too, the entire hospital collapsed. And not only massive chunks of concrete crushing anything beneath it, but also the woman is still in her hospital bed with a broken leg, so she still couldn’t get out of the situation. I know japanese soldiers wanted to take revenge on people forgetting about them, but damn they didn’t have to massacre japan just for the sake of people not remembering them.
But remember it's not just Japanese soldiers. It's also U.S soldiers who died in the conflict and Chinese civilians who died during the Rape of Nanking. They would be willing to get some revenge. 2/3 of the G-Man is made up of people who hate Japan and also given that it's probably thousands close to nearly a million souls in him it's probably hard to have all those consciousness's focus on something that small
For me in Godzilla vs destroyah when the fish was melting in the aqauarium was pretty scary. Great list!
#9 The opening scene of Son of Godzilla scared the living shit outta me when I was watching a Godzilla Marathon on TV as a kid, so much so that I changed the channel. The face they used on the Daisenso-goji suit was positively ghastly! It was definitely a different head. They also used another head on the same suit when Godzilla Charges towards the beach to rescue Minya. This head had a more angry look to it. I later grew to like the 2nd angrier looking head which I loving nicknamed the angry frog faced Godzilla. Once I realized that those other two horrific looking heads were only in the beginning I switched the channel back to watch the Musuko-goji (which until recently was considered the ugliest iteration of Godzilla😆) suit finish the rest of the film. Shin Godzilla was designed to look like how Godzilla would look if he was in the horror movie genre instead of Scifi. And I have to admit TOHO accomplished this mission. With the 1st form rivaling the ghastly-ness of the google eyed Godzilla head from the storm scene in Son of Godzilla. I saw Godzilla vs. Biollante as a teenager and the scene that frightened me a bit was when the 2nd form Biollante charged forward and seemed like he was about to bite Godzilla's head off.
I agree with you on Godzilla’s first appearance looking over the mountain top. That always freaked me out as a kid although the puppet used doesn’t really match the head on the big Godzilla costume so well. That disconnect maybe adds to the creep hallucinatory feeling of the scene. As a child I wondered why the drawing of this scene presented in the movie a little later on looks even less like Godzilla. I now as an adult assume they used concept art for the drawing presented in the movie, and the actual effect, filmed separately, had evolved into a different look.
8:35 Right on. The reason it's effective is because we expect to see Godzilla for the first time at night, in some impressive effects moment. He not only shows up here in the daytime, but there are people IN THE SHOT with him. When we watch folks going up the hill we're kind of relaxed for some preparation for something and then he just pops up. It has an effect similar to the original THE THING when they open the door and the alien is RIGHT THERE.
Shin is just in a league by itself. Not going to lie but I rolled my eyes when I saw the trailer with its 2nd googly eyed form. Then I saw it and boy was I wrong. Those googly eyes were perfect and my god he just gets more terrifying. Great to have Godzilla be the terrifying "enemy" again.
Godzilla peaking over the hill in Gojira always has creeped me. Especially when he looks down at the camera like he sees you and is going to get you.
Amazing piece. And I can't believe someone else thought that moment Godzilla peered over the hill in the original was as shocking as I did. My heart stopped... in a good way because I got better. Thank you.
almond and shin Godzilla where he spews blood or lava whatever I wish it was in the movie that is so creepy and cool
This is gold keep up the good work!
We need more monster movies.
That still know how to do horror RIGHT
@@mwizachihana9551 yes
Fantastic choice of music for this list!
Hedorah isn't solid, so him phasing through the building makes sense
I grew up mainly watching the silly Showa VHS tapes, so Godzilla was like a hero to me. I bet if I had seen GMK Godzilla as a kid after always having the 70s Showa films on repeat, it would terrify the hell out me to all of a sudden see him as a savage villain looking like the spawn of a demon.
Pretty damn good video but would have added the first appearance and rampage from GMK to this list or the opening to Against MechaGodzilla. Then you have pretty much all of Return of Godzilla to pick from as it is honestly the only real horror themed film of the series.
Super fun way to compare the Godzilla movies! Thanks!
An unsettling moment for me in the Godzilla franchise was King Ghidorah's introduction from the 1991 film. the roar and appearance of Ghidorah flying over a part of Japan was a very frightening moment.
"10 creepy moments"
Bruh all of gmk godzillas scenes are creepy
Thanks.
Nice dude nice
@@PaperFinz didn't notice you np
I love Godzilla. Love him. I have every neca figure, every movie, tattoos, etc. My most common, terrifying nightmare that will wake me up is being relentlessly pursued by Godzilla. No matter how far I go, or how hard I hide, he finds me.
When Godzilla was bleeding in Godzilla vs Gigan and Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla scared me as a kid. Legitimately thought Godzilla was gonna die in those fights.
The creepiest two for me is beginning ov G v Hedorah where Hedorah sticks it's head out ov the water in the opening credits. Its red eyes creeped me out. The second, although not G is in Rodan where they guy wakes up after the mine collapse only to see a baby Rodan and the parent Rodan feeding it.
Great list. One I liked was Godzilla emerging from the ground from Godzilla vs The Thing, as a kid it seemed like he could be anywhere just waiting to wake up, that scared me. As a huge fan of all Japanese Kaiju, some of my childhood chills outside of Godzilla films were when the passengers on a ship see the gargantua looking up at them from under the water in War of the Gargantuas - The insect creatures attacking people in the mine in Rodan - The sea monster looking in the window at the hotel in Ultraman ep 4. - These are the ones that popped into my head while watching your video - Great Memories !
Bride of Godzilla
That was never made, Thank Goodness.
Love this Halloween episode!
Just came across your channel and just wanted to say I subbed because you seem to do very obscure and unique content Kaiju related different from other channels! Very refreshing
I appreciate that! Thanks.
For me, the puppets used for the 54' and '55 movies are my sleep paralysis demons
the one from 1955 specifically for me
Couldn't agree more with #1 and #2. I see Shin Godzilla as taking Godzilla back to his roots, in a modern way. Something that legendary Godzilla should have been, IMO, instead of the 'superhero' route they chose.
#2 is a fantastic shot. In addition to what you said, I think it's the fact the crowd - and to an extent the audience - expected to see a monster standing at the top of the hill, not big enough to look over it like a fence!
The first time I encountered the Godzilla films was when Channel 4, here in the UK, showed a few of them so many years ago. I think one of the shots they used for the advert was the one shown at 2:43 in this vid. Daytime rather than nighttime, but those same dead, staring eyes freaked little Vermis out!
Shin Godzilla’s second and third forms were creepy as shit
Godzilla Vs. Megaguirus is very unsettling to me personally, when the mansized meganula attacked the people in the alley was hard to sit through. another unerving part that happened was in the final battle when Godzilla just starts violently shaking his head out of nowhere. though it has been years since i've seen it, so one day I'm gonna watch it again just to see if those moments still hold up..
Personally, I believe the MonsterVerse has plenty of unsettling moments--especially in the 2014 film. It doesn't have to be scary, just intense. The MV strikes the perfect balance between elements from Godzilla's past eras, especially concerning its balance between realism and fun monster action. It's EXACTLY what I want out of a monster film series! The MonsterVerse feels tailor-made just for me! That grounded feel really gets the atmosphere dripping with dread! My personal favorite is the scene leading up to Muto's emergence in Janjira. I also LOVED seeing the aftermath of San Francisco in Episode Five of the recent Monarch series!
I haven't been able to see many of the older Godzilla films--just a few from my local Blockbuster back in the early 2000s--but I'm remedying that now, thanks to streaming. I plan on re-watching the ones I saw back then, too. I haven't seen Vs. Megaguirus since I was a kid, but the scenes when it was still metamorphizing at human size really messed me up back then haha!
Personally my scariest moments were when Godzilla attacked in return of Godzilla. Something about that read firey cityscape. And don't even get me started on the roar, how it's jaw twitches like that. But another part I sound terrifying was when Godzilla attacked Tokyo in GvKG. I think the music and lower shots looking up at him is what did it for me as a kid
With that promo still for Hedorah, they were definitely just trying to make the features of Godzilla's face more discernable in a fairly rudimentary way. It's common to see simple white eyes drawn onto the monsters' faces in doctored promo photos when the lighting renders them too hard to see. This is likely an extension of that tactic that misfired.
Great video Bro
The real number 1: The birth of Minya
😃 Minya's face. Nightmare fuel!
@@vermis8344 *cue in "who will know"
07:10. Stilts? I've seen people use similar prosthetics for satyr costumes in Renaissance Festivals and the like.
Everything about The Smog Monster freaked me out as a kid. Seeing that thing creep up on you underwater, ekkk!
The only one I can add was in Godzilla v The Sea Monster, against the giant lobster. They wake Godzilla up with a sword struck by lightning. Something about seeing a huge sleeping monster wake up just by opening its eyes creeped me out too..
And the fact with Godzilla Raids Again we get to see the Monsters right away instead of waiting to see them in like the nearly 40 minutes or so like what happened in the original 1954 film.
In the 40+ years I have been watching Godzilla, no moment scared me until his roar on the streets in Hawaii.
Agreed, the appearance from behind the mountain is great.
Like you, the Smog monster was a total freak out for me! Coupled with everything you mentioned and the fact, I thought Godzilla was gonna lose this battle for sure :-(
Great video
i remember seeing Godzilla v. Hedora (the Smog Monster) at the drive-in when I was little, and it was the scariest thing I had seen at that time.
When I was a kid - "Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla" (the one with King Ceasar/Chiisa) made me pause watching the franchise for a while ^^""
First it has the most bloody monster fights I've seen so far. But the aliens were even worse for me. When their "masks" break - their black blood covers their faces to reveal a ape like face. And the first revealed alien also made these disturbing sounds.
There are a few horror-esque Godzilla movies out there, like Shin Godzilla and Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.
1 - I actually find Keye Luke's narration to be extremely creepy: "The happy people worked hard at being happy, and this made them work hard, so all was happiness."
2 - The G54 intro always gets me with that first poke-peek before the full view.
How is the scene of the couple getting killed in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus not on this list? It’s one of the only truly horror movie moments in the series.
7:16 I think this is a excellent horror scene especially with the planes but I don’t know why but it I was a person in that city seeing the planes moving towards the ocean knowing Godzilla will be coming from there scares me and I don’t know why
The ending to Shin Godzilla made me uncomfortable. I kept wondering what would happen if Godzilla thaws out and releases of the human-godzilla hybrids. I kept expecting a sequel for the answer.
My favorite scary moment is in the original movie. Tokyo is in flames, and Godzilla is in silhouette, almost saying, "I'm not done yet."
Godzilla Raids again IS my favorite Sequel due to it being the first appearance of my favorite Anguirius... and how hard and long I had to wait to actually watch it.
