1. Tor Johnson, Faux Bella, Vampira and Beams of Light , 'Plan 9 from Outer Space'

Horror's Lamest Monsters

Sure, it may seem cliche to pick on Ed Wood's "Plan 9," which is widely regarded as the worst film ever made, but with re-animated zombies played by a pro-wrestler (Johnson), a TV horror star (Vampira) and a stand-in for the deceased Bella Lugosi, this film earns its spot.

The most embarrassing "monster" is, perhaps, the ominous beams of light, which shoot down from the UFOs, incinerating their victims.

If Plan 9 is this bad, imagine what Plans 1-8 were like. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Reynolds Pictures)

15. Lestat de Li... I just love a vampire that moisturizes, don't you? The scariest thing about Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt's pretty boy vampires is their fashion. Ruffles are so 18th Century! —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Geffen Pictures)

13. Frankenstein... Meet the Shaquille O'Neal of horror movies. He's a slow, lumbering, hulk of a "man" who shies away at the sight of a match. There's nothing scary about a beast who can be fought off with a Yankee Candle. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Universal)

How can we respect a horror villain who won't get his hands dirty? With a Tony Robbins-meets-Jack Kevorkian m.o. (not to mention a fondness for black robes, pig heads and ventriloquist dummies), Kramer should have called himself "Butter Knife." —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Lionsgate)

Meet Evan Rendell, Jr., the sadistic doctor with the high-pitched laugh. Giggles might almost be scary, if it weren't for his liberal use of medical equipment in the killing of his victims.
If you have a splitting headache, the doctor probably caused it. Just take two aspirin and he'll maul you in the morning. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Largo Entertainment)

6. The Goblins, ... Talk about false advertising. This 1990 sequel didn't even have any trolls, opting instead for a ridiculous pack of goblins from the town of Nilbog. That's "goblin" spelled backwards. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: MGM)
