Be sure to check out #1 for an exclusive clip from
Hitchhiker's Guide. Here are our picks...
#10: Jabba the Hutt
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Jabba... the mere mention of his name evokes hideous images. I'm not
talking about the new, CG-animated wussy version either. I'm talking about
the bong-smoking, slimey-tongued, frog-eating Jabba from Return of the Jedi.
The Jenny Craig-needin' Hutt, with his slug-like body, drooling toothless grin,
and reptilian eyes, lived like a king in his Tatooine palace until Luke Skywalker
and friends brought the pain. Jabba's body was burnt to a crisp in the flames
that engulfed his sail barge as the Rebels raced for freedom. Who's up for barbeque!?

"Come on, girl! Give Jabba some lovin'!" | |

#9: The Blob
The Blob
No ground-breaking concept design here. But somebody tell me what's not
hideous about a creature from another planet that resembles (probably because it
is) a giant blob of gelatinous goo. In the 1958 sci-fi classic, the
seemingly unstoppable blob grows larger and larger, bloated with the blood of
its victims, until it meets its match in Steve McQueen.
#8: ID4 Aliens
Independence Day
Yes, the movie is cheesy and the creature designers owe a great deal to the
creators of Alien and Predator, but the exoskeleton aliens from
Independence Day are hideous and original enough to make our list.
What about when the captured alien used its tentacles to grab Data? That was
pretty freaky. Yeah, those ID4 aliens were tough...
Too bad they didn't upgrade their virus scan software.
