恐怖电影怪兽Top 10编辑本段回目录
虽然怪兽电影已经吓了观众好几十年了，但怎么样怪兽依然是一个不一样的品种。这里，我们挑了电影史上10只最受喜爱的、能量足以摧毁城市的怪兽。
Movie monsters come in all shapes and sizes. While some of the smallest creatures have produced the greatest fear in humanity, there’s no questioning that the giant monsters that attack whole cities and engulf victims like Tic-Tacs are terrifying on a whole other scale (get it?). Movies have seen their fair share of the big fellas, and we’ve narrowed them down to those we think are the scariest of them all.
电影上的怪兽还真是什么样子、什么尺寸的都有啊~尽管有些极小的生物也在人类中制造了巨大的恐慌，但毫无疑问的，那些袭击整座城市、吞噬受害者如蝼蚁的巨型怪兽们的破坏力，则是另一个重量级的（看懂了吗？）。我们已经在电影上看了很多这种大家伙了，现在我们就把那些我们认为最可怕的挑出来吧。
Certain giant movie monsters just missed the cut, but came to mind while developing our ten favorites. For instance, the Brain Bug from Starship Troopers is a massive and disgusting creature and the Graboids of Tremors are hideous creatures, but ultimately both missed our list.
某些怪兽没有出现在最终名单上，但挑选的时候它们曾经在我们的脑海浮现过。比如，《星河战队》的脑虫就是一只恶心的大块头，和出自《从地心窜出》的丑陋的加博，但它们最终都没能入选我们的名单。
MegaShark of MegaShark vs. Giant Octopus is a hilariously awesome movie monster, but its role as a parody of other movie monsters makes it undeserving of the list. Still, MegaShark’s encounter with a passenger airplane goes down as one of the craziest moments in monster movie history.
《噬人鲨大战大乌贼》里的噬人鲨是一只十分好笑的电影怪兽，但是因为它是另一只电影怪兽的模仿品，所以就没有资格入选了。并且，噬人鲨遭遇一架坠落的客机可以说是怪兽电影历史上最疯狂的一幕！
Don’t forget monsters that don’t quite fit the protocol, like the aliens from War of the Worlds or Independence Day. While their ships were massive and had the ability to destroy entire cities, the monsters themselves were “regular-size” aliens.
别忘了那些不符合我们规则的怪兽们，比如《世界大战》和《独立日》的外星人。虽然它们的战舰超大而且的确拥有破坏整个城市的实力，但外星人本身的身材却是正常大小。
One name that may instantly creep into your head throughout this process is King Kong. But we’ve decided he’s just not that scary. Sure, a run-in on the streets of Manhattan might stop your heart, but after Peter Jackson’s extensive humanization of the great ape, he’s just not all that scary any more.
有个名字可能正慢慢爬进你的大脑里——金刚。不过我们裁定他并不吓人。当然，他跑进曼哈顿街道的时候可能让你心脏骤停，但是皮特·杰克逊对这只大猩猩进行大量的人类教化后，他就再也不那么可怕了。
Without further ado, let’s get right into the scariest giant movie monsters of all time. SOME SPOILERS ahead as many of the films hide the identity until the last act.
直接进入正题，我们来看看电影史上最恐怖的电影怪兽吧。有些破坏者直到最后一刻才现出原形。
10. The 50-Foot Woman – Attack of the 50-Foot Woman
Now this one is a gorgeous beast. It could be considered a subtle parody of the genre films of its era, but in 1958 Attack of the 50-Foot Woman was just downright scary on a number of levels.
More impressive than the monster itself herself is the production budget of $88,000. Any monster movie that can accomplish its goal on such a microscopic budget deserves recognition. Either way, some would find a 50-Foot Woman to be the perfect monster, but it all depends on your perspective. If she stepped over you, your view might be better than if she stepped on you.
The best part about the film is that it focuses on a specific problem. Instead of wreaking havoc on the world, the giant woman uses her new “power” to exact revenge on her cheating husband and his mistress.

10. 50尺女巨人——《绝地50尺女巨人》
现在要说的一只漂亮的怪物。它可以被看做是那个时代体裁电影的微复制品，但是1958年的《绝地50尺女巨人》从可怕性上提升了好几个层次。
比怪物“它”哦不是，是“她”本身更让人印象深刻的是88,000美元的制作预算。任何一部仅用这么一点预算就能达到其目标的怪兽电影都值得认可。任一种方式，部分人将会发现50尺的女巨人是一个完美的怪物，不过这就取决于你的想法了。如果她只是接近你的话你的评价大概会比她踩着你的好。
关注一个特别的问题是本片最棒的部分。女巨人用她的新“力量”来向欺骗她的丈夫和其情人报复，而不是诉诸武力破坏世界。

9. Ants – Them!
One of the few monster movies that transcended its genre and entered the Oscar race, Them! was nominated for an award in the Special Effects category. In 1954, the giant ants of the film felt realer than any giant monster before. The tagline on a movie poster is just as hilarious as it is fear-inducting:
A horror horde of crawl-and-crush giants clawing out of the Earth from mile-deep catacombs.
That reminds me of the Graboids from Tremors, but much bigger and more threatening.
The essential message behind the film came at a time when the nuclear threat was frighteningly new. The ants are mutated by atomic radiation to enormous proportions.
Rather than immediately showing off the gigantic ants, our first glimpse is 30 minutes into the film. This is probably what sets it apart from so many monster movies of the time. It is about suspense and mystery. Once we uncover the clues behind the disappearing people, it becomes a scary monster movie with one of the best giant monsters of all time.

9.蚂蚁——X放射性
少数怪兽电影能超越其体裁、获得奥斯卡奖，我们接下来介绍的就是那为数不多中的其中一部——《X放射线》。此片获得奥斯卡最佳特效奖提名。1954年，片中的巨蚁看起来比以往的任何一头怪兽都要逼真。电影海报上的宣传标语可以说是既滑稽又具有恐惧诱导性。
一群边移动边搞破坏的巨蚁用它们尖锐的爪子撕开地表，从一英里深的地下墓穴中破土而出。
那使我想起了《从地心窜出》的加博，但却更大只更吓人。
电影的主旨在当时还是个比较令人恐惧的新鲜事，即核威胁。蚂蚁是由于受到原子辐射才突变成大块头的。
巨蚁首次现身是电影进行到30分钟的时候，而不是一开场就出现。或许，这就是让本片有别于当时其他怪兽电影的原因，充满悬念又很神秘。当我们理顺那些失踪人口背后的脉络时，就会知道这是有史以来最好的恐怖怪兽电影之一。这就是让本片有别于当时其他怪兽电影的原因，充满悬念又很神秘。当我们理顺那些失踪人口背后的脉络时，就会知道这是有史以来最好的恐怖怪兽电影之一。

8. Mantis Creatures – The Mist
There are so many monsters in The Mist that it could have a Top 10 list all its own. As the movie progresses, the monsters get bigger and meaner, ultimately finding a place on our list. One of the most intimidating creatures in recent memory has to be the giant mantis creatures that approach the cast near the end of the film.
As difficult as it is to see the monsters in the thick mist, the sounds of their movement are just as scary. It’s quite the moment when people are snatched into the sky or cars are crushed.
-
8. 螳螂怪——《迷雾》
只看《迷雾》这部电影里出现的怪兽就能搞个Top 10名单了。随着影片的进行，怪物越来越大、越来越卑鄙，直至最终出现在我们的名单上。其中最恐怖的一只生物当属影片最后靠近演员的那只巨型螳螂了。
看不清浓雾中的怪物已经很吓人了，怪物们移动时发出的声响也同样吓人。特别是人们被抓起来扔到空中，汽车被压碎的时候（就更可怕了）。

7. Stay Puft Marshmallow Man – Ghostbusters
One of the funniest and scariest giant monsters of all time tears its way through Ghostbusters. There is nothing more frightening than an enormous multi-layered marshmallow with an attitude. But just imagine if you burnt the Marshmallow Man. That is one tasty monster.
The history behind the Marshmallow Man is interesting. Wikipedia explains that in the original script, Dan Aykroyd was the person who thought of the giant marshmallow. It stemmed from the concept of a cute, cuddly mascot all blown up into a terrifying monster. Bill Bryan created the outfit as part of a miniature set which was blended in for the finished product.
The worst part of a massive marshmallow man would have to be the sticky cleanup left in its wake. How do you get towering pieces of marshmallow off a building? No easy task, that.
7.棉花糖人——《捉鬼特工队》
《捉鬼特工队》是有史以来集搞笑与恐怖与一体最成功的怪兽电影。再也没有比型格多层次庞大棉花糖更可怕的了。不过想想把棉花糖人烤了，那应该是只可口的怪兽吧~
棉花糖人背后的历史可有趣了~维基百科介绍到，在原著脚本里，Dan Aykroyd构想出了庞大的棉花糖人。这个角色的原型是一个被吹成可怕怪兽的、可爱的、让人忍不住想抱抱的吉祥物。Bill Bryan制作了全套装备作为小型装置的一部分，这些后来和成品连在一起。
棉花糖人最大的破坏大概是要清理那些留下来的粘粘的东西了。要怎么样把大块大块的棉花糖从大厦上弄下来呢？这可不是件容易的事呀~
6. Tyrannosaurus Rex – Jurassic Park I-III
It’s easy to argue the lack of size of the T-Rex. Its place on this list has more to do with its destructive behavior than its sheer size. But there is no question it is a giant monster. At nearly 20 feet tall and weighing eight tons, the T-Rex is a man-eating machine that spends the rest of its time destroying everything around it.
The most relevant scene was its great escape in San Diego during the second half of Jurassic Park II. Starved and frustrated, the T-Rex roams the streets of San Diego, causing chaos and destruction. At one point, it throws a bus through a Blockbuster Video Store (which turned out to be a metaphor for the chain’s future – who knew?).
The signature roar of the T-Rex has become a staple in monster movies ever since. The roars of the Cloverfield monster bring back memories of our days watching disaster unfold in the first Jurassic Park film.

6.霸王龙——《侏罗纪公园I-III》
如果不把霸王龙的体积算进去的话大概很多人会有意见了。但是，霸王龙能进入我们的名单，更多的是因为它的破坏行为而不是体积。当然了，它的确是只大家伙。足有8吨重、差不多2 0英尺高，霸王龙称得上是个吃人机器，并在业余时间破坏它周围的一切事物。
（和本名单）最有关的场景是《侏罗纪公园Ⅱ》下半部分，霸王龙从圣地亚哥逃跑出来的那场。又饥饿又沮丧，霸王龙在圣地亚哥的街头漫步，引起了混乱和破坏。某一刻，它把巴士扔向重磅炸弹录像店（原来是这系列电影的一个隐喻——谁知道啊？）。
从此以后，那标志性的大吼已经成了怪兽电影的经典了。《科洛弗档案》里怪物的大吼，让我们想起《侏罗纪公园》里弥漫的灾难。
5. Giant Squid – 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea
Walt Disney had his own 1954 monster movie for the masses. While Ants! earned itself a single Oscar nomination, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea actually took home a pair of Oscars for Art Direction and Special Effects, along with a nomination for Editing.
The monster in 20,000 Leagues was terrorizing sailors before the film’s story even got underway. But when the government sends Professor Arronax on a mission to find out if the giant sea monster truly exists, the film becomes a journey into the abyss.
While the film ends up with only a brief encounter with the giant squid, it is one of the most memorable moments in the film. The main characters battle the giant squid and it becomes the cornerstone of the action in 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
The squid is a creature that deserved more screen time. With David Fincher’s recently announced remake, we may yet get to see more of this beast.

５.大章鱼——《海底两万里》
迪斯尼公司于1954年制作了其第一部面向大众的怪兽电影。《X放射性》仅获得一项奥斯卡提名，而《海底两万里》除了获得最佳编辑的提名外，还实实在在拿回了两项奖——最佳艺术指导和最佳特效。
《海底两万里》的怪物在电影故事还没开始前就已经吓到水手了。但是，当政府派遣教授Arronax查明海底怪兽是否真的存在时，剧情才真正开始进入恐怖的深渊。
虽然电影以和大章鱼的短暂遭遇告终，但仍然不失为本片最难忘的时刻之一。主演们和大章鱼作战，这也成为《海底两万里》动作的奠基石。
章鱼是一种值得人们更多把它搬上银幕的生物。大卫•芬奇最近声称要重拍影片，我们可以更多地看到这家伙了。
4. Unnamed – Cloverfield
Cloverfield worked mighty hard to hide the identity of the film’s giant monster until the climax. Some were disappointed by the bizarre look of the creature, but there’s no question it was one of the most intense monsters ever to take a swipe at New York City’s skyline.
The reason the monster is so effective has to due with the intention the filmmakers had for the beast. They have frequently discussed how the monster is not your typical rampaging beast – instead, it is like an infant, afraid of the world it has been thrown into and the small creatures (humans) attacking it. It tried desperately to escape, but couldn’t maneuver the maze of streets and buildings in Manhattan.
The monster definitely redesigned the look of the city, but it was mostly due to collisions and stumbling into skyscrapers. The only real time it seemed to knowingly attack was when it cut off the head of the Statue of Liberty.
-
4.无名氏——《科洛弗档案》
《科洛弗档案》死命地掩藏怪兽的身份直到影片高潮。有些人会对此生物奇怪的外形感到失望，但毫无疑问，它是重击纽约最剧烈的怪物之一。
这头怪物给我们留下如此深印象的原因是，电影摄制者为它定下的意向。他们曾经常讨论要怎样颠覆观众对典型的乱跑怪兽的印象——相反的，它如同婴儿，害怕这个它被丢弃的世界，和那些攻击它的小生物。它绝望地逃跑，却无法从曼哈顿如同迷宫般的街道和大楼间走出。
怪兽的确重塑了城市的样子，可这主要是由于碰撞和误入摩天大楼造成的。它唯一一次有意识的攻击是砍下自由女神像的头。
-
3. Gwoemul – The Host
Sometimes a film is so good that it transcends its genre. The Host is one of the most acclaimed foreign films of the last decade and its beast deserves much of the praise. As Godzilla was Japan’s cinematic allegory for the nuclear attack from the United States, The Host uses a fictional beast to incite satire for government occupation.
A monster can metaphorically represent any number of things, but if it doesn’t scare the hell out of its victims, it’s worthless. The monster in The Host is so wild and unpredictable that it turns the film into a horror movie.
It’s more the presence of a hidden beast that creates fear and tension than its destructive behavior. The real question is whether its size is an issue; it’s big enough to destroy bridges, so it is a relative giant.
-
3. 魊——《汉江怪物》
一部电影如果能超越其体裁，应该说是很好的。《汉江怪物》是近十年来最受欢迎的外语片之一，而影片的怪兽也值得表扬。哥斯拉是受到美国核攻击的日本电影寓言，《汉江怪物》是以电影怪兽来讽刺政府工作。
怪兽可以暗喻很多东西，但如果它吓不到人的话，那它就毫无价值了。《汉江怪物》是如此狂野和难以预测，于是使本片成为一部恐怖片。
本片更多的是表现引起恐惧和紧张的隐藏着的怪物，而不是它的破坏力。真正的问题是它的体型是否值得争议；它已经大到可以毁了大桥了，看来还是够得上“大怪物”这个定义的。
2. The Kraken – Pirates of the Caribbean, Clash of the Titans
No matter who fights The Kraken, you can always count on its massive scale. The enormous teeth threaten all who tread near its mouth, but that only matters if you can get that close. Most attacks from The Kraken occur on the open sea, but as shown in Clash of the Titans, it has been known to devour port city areas.
Unfortunately for bystanders, The Kraken is just like any giant monster that takes countless innocent lives. Yet, the one characteristic that makes The Kraken unique is that is must be summoned. In Clash of the Titans, The Kraken is released by Zeus. In Pirates of the Caribbean, The Kraken is summoned by Davy Jones. Yet even those in power seem to have limited control over the massive beast.
The Kraken is one of the most deadly sea monsters around. If you can keep away from those in control of it, you should be fine on your voyages across the sea.

2.克拉肯——《加勒比海盗》、《诸神之战》
不管是谁和克拉肯作战，你永远都只能指望它的大体型。它那巨大的牙齿威胁任何一个靠近它嘴边的家伙——如果你能靠那么近的话。克拉肯的攻击一般都在远海，但是《诸神之战》里的克拉肯已经开始啃食港口城市了。
对旁观者来说还真是不幸，克拉肯就像任何一只吞食无辜生命的怪兽一样。不过，克拉肯与众不同的地方是它需要召唤（才会出现）。《诸神之战》中，克拉肯被宙斯释放了。《加勒比海盗》里，克拉肯是受到海魔的召唤。不过那些召唤它的人似乎控制不太住这只大怪兽。
克拉肯是最极端的海洋怪兽之一。如果你远离那些控制它的人，你就能好好享受你的海上旅程了。
1. Godzilla – Godzilla
Godzilla has gone through a number of makeovers throughout the years, but one thing remains certain – this giant lizard hates (almost) everything. While it has spent most of its “entertainment life” fighting other giant monsters, Godzilla has spent some time crushing cities and the humans in them.
In fact, Godzilla is such a celebrity that he even has his own Hollywood star. He has experienced the glory days – from the original 1954 Japanese movie, to many, many subsequent films and television shows. But a 1998 adaptation by Roland Emmerich left the great lizard in shame, putting the well-known monster on the run for most of the film, instead of on the attack.
Regardless, the devastation left behind when Godzilla arrives is nothing short of spectacular. To put it in perspective: the only man capable of bringing the beast back to the Hollywood spotlight was Roland Emmerich, King of Disaster Movies. There is no monster quite like Godzilla – that’s why he takes the crown as the scariest giant movie monster of all time.
P.S. – Stay tuned, because there may be yet another adaptation of the beast also known as Gojira – a Godzilla reboot movie that’s due out in 2012.
1.酷斯拉——《酷斯拉》
酷斯拉已经改过好几次造型了，但有一件事一直都没有变过——这头巨型蜥蜴讨厌（几乎）所有东西。虽然酷斯拉的大部分“娱乐时间”用来和其他怪兽对打，但是它同样花了些时间来毁灭城市和城市里的人们。
实际上，酷斯拉实在是太出名了，它甚至成为了好莱坞明星。它享受着无数荣耀——从最初1954年的日本电影开始到后来许许多多的电影和电视节目。但是1998年罗兰•艾默瑞奇的改编却令它蒙羞，这只著名的怪兽大部分时间居然只是在电影里跑来跑去，而不是攻击！
无论如何，酷斯拉出现所带来的破坏还是很壮观的。客观点说：唯一有能力让这只怪兽重回好莱坞的人只有罗兰•艾默瑞奇了——灾难电影之王。没有一只怪兽像酷斯拉一样——这就是它勇夺电影史上最可怕怪兽桂冠的原因。
另外——冷静啊，酷斯拉可能又要被翻拍了——一部新的《酷斯拉》电影可能于2012年上映。
