A Slasher Theater Weekly Top 10: Kaiju Monsters

Kaiju, although not directly connected to the horror genre, is a type of film involving giant monsters. The genre become very popular during the early 60's and remains relevant today. So, here is my list of the top 10 kaiju monsters of all time. (Keep in mind that I'm trying not to do the most obvious ones, so Godzilla will not be on this list)

10. The Baltans (Ultraman series)

These crazy aliens first appeared in one of the first episodes of the original Ultraman series.

9. Mothra (Godzilla series)

One of the only monsters to ever defeat Godzilla

8. Ebirah (Godzilla series)

A big ass lobster. Nuff said.

7. Biollante (Godzilla series)

One pissed off plant

6.MechaGodzilla (Godzilla series)

I said I wouldnt use Godzilla, but his evil robot counterpart is fair game

5. Enpera-seijin (Ultraman series)

Just look at him...

4. Gigan (Godzilla series)

If you combined a dinosaur and a sword, this is what you would get

3. Dethrem (Ultraman series)

If you combined a dinosaur and a skeleton THIS is what you would get

2. Destoroyah (Godzilla series)

If Godzilla ate a volcano, he'd look as badass as Destoroyah does.

And now, the king of all monsters...

1. King Ghidorah (Godzilla series)

The REAL king of the monsters. King Ghidorah has battled Godzilla countless times and is just one big, bad ass, three headed dragon.



Honorable Mentions: Big Man Japan, Ultraman himself, the Playstation 2 game War of the Monsters, the characters of the Rampage series
