    Mars Attacks was Based Upon a set of 1950s trading cards which contain many of the scenes and set pieces shown in the film. Excellent. The Green Slime was a hilariously silly 1950s film. This Island Earth had the Metalunans and the mutant drone both of which are classic 1950s designs. A really great film. The Blob was based upon a 1959 novella called The Clone by Theodore Thomas and the fully as a novel together with Kate Wilhelm which was to all intents and purposes was the Blob itself and tried to explain the chemistry of the eating process. Creepy book. Recommend.

    Fun topic and good list, as usual, Bryn, very glad you included The Green Slime in your list, always loved that movie. Some of my favorite rubber monsters are the aliens in I Married a Monster from Outer Space (really creepy looking), and all the monsters in the movie Inframan, the best of the worst ! I'm such a great and longtime fan of the original Blob movie that I never watched the 80s remake, but you make a good case of it, so I will definitely check it out soon.

    I watched Xtro for the first time recently and it was too bizarre even for me, I couldn't take to it at all.
    But I agree with you, the first half is better (that second half is just wierd), and the effects for the alien were pretty cool with (as you mentioned) an incredibly graphic birth sequence.
    A couple of choices for me would have to be Gort from "The day the earth stood still" and the creatures from "CHUD".
    Excellent choice on the Metaluna mutant by the way.

    Well, first off good list Bryn. X2 big ups for Without Warning as well, cool movie.
    On my list I’ve gone for creature design and not necessarily favourite films. Tried to keep it strictly B-Movie.
    10) It The Terror From Beyond Space - Such a cool movie and a great monster.
    9) Nightbeast - Love this film.
    8) This Island Earth - A very iconic creature design.
    7) Forbidden World - Very underrated little B-Movie with some fab budget creature FX.
    6) X-tro - Huge fan of this film. I think it’s excellent.
    5) Deadly Spawn - Top monsters and such a fun film.
    4) Killer Klowns From Outer Space - Not my favourite monster movie but the creature FX are great.
    3) The Hidden - The spider alien creature from this is hideous, crawling down people’s oesophagi.
    2) The Blob (1988) - Awesome monster and movie!
    1) Lifeforce - Sorry I couldn’t think of a better creature design than Mathilda May walking around in the nip, circa 1985 😄
    My overall list changed a bunch of times and a whole load of honourable mentions.

      Burton based Mars Attacks on the trading cards of the same name which were marketed in 1962. Saucer Men came out in 1957, so I think you’re right but I suspect it was the designers of the trading cards in 1962 that ‘were inspired’ by the aliens from Saucer Men and not Burton as such.
