1. and 3. Off to House of Google. Hope to see Gorgo and Lepus there. 😃

2. I had that movie in mind–the name till escapes me–where Betty White nurtures the giant alligator.

3. CGI all the way! I had a gigglefit and had to leave the theatre showing Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan. The men in ape suits were just. so. obvious. It was sooo bad. So, so bad.

Yowza. Who knew that one wrong answer could still land me at #12?

(and also, I’m a giant dumbass for somehow managing to not fill out #8 even though I provided details about my source… duh me)

8 #1s and 2 #2s and I only get 16th ☹ I think it’s my best showing ever, though 🙂

That’s the one I was thinking of when I came up with the question, but I didn’t think I’d get many matches, so I played London/Gorgo

\<sniff!\>

Just because I’m a classicist and prefer my monsters stop-action, the way Og and Ray Harryhausen intended, I finish tied for silver instead of grabbing the gold.

SWEEEET!! I know my classic monsters; all those hours watching Saturday flicks on TV as a kid paid off. I almost went for The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms before I remembered that new movie. WOO-HA!

I knew the results would be close. There were a lot of chalk answers. Except Worm . In Iceland ,they run screaming in fear from their homes because a glacier will hit in 2000 years. Their level of monster fear is not like ours. Gozilla would rather attack Boise than an Icelandic city.

You and me both, I thought the denizens of the boards would join us too.

Yeah right. We just stomp those pesky [Monsters](http://www.cinematical.com/2008/07/11/at-last-a-trailer-for-vikings-vs-aliens-flick-outlander/), Viking Style 😉

Don’t feel bad; I’ve placed way worse than that with eight #1s. At least you were in the top half!

_Gorgo_ is worth checking out. Sure, it’s old, and in black and white. But the main monster itself had a mission. It wasn’t just attacking for the heck of it. Also, the main human protagonists are not portrayed as particularly brave or smart, they’re rather flawed actually.

Lake Placid…It was a funny movie.
