Default Creature Horror Flicks I should Buy on Blu Ray

So um one of my favorite horror genres is creature horror movies and I've seen a lot of them. I've found most of yhe creature horror flicks i've watches good but some of them were absolutely terrible in a so bad it's good way or just super boring. I also own some of them and also I'm including alien horror as a part of this genre.

Ones I own and love are these ones
Grizzly doing a rewatch this year
Jaws
C.H.U.D
Alligator
Alien
AVP
Orca
Razorback
Tremors arriving today
Willard arriving next week
The Stuff
Deep Star Six
The Birds
The Mist
Dog Soldiers
The Howling
Bad Moon
The Blob getting delivered later today
Wolfen

Ones I've seen on streaming, tv, or rented dvds I enjoy too are these flicks
Pirahna
The Bone Snatcher
The Thing
THEM
Cloverfield
Leviathan
Lily C.A.T.
Wicked City
Demon City Shinjuku
Terror Vision
Killer Clowns From Outer Space
Tremors
The Nest
The Terror Within
Monkey Shines probably going to buy this one at some point

Ones I watched and didn't like or found so bad it's good
Frogs
Killer Crocodile I also own this on Blu Ray the only one from this list I own
Shakma honestly I practically hated this film found it super boring
The Swarm
Scared To Death
Bog very very boring film
Devilfish yawn
Grizzly Rage
Jaws 3D
Jaws the Revenge
Cruel Jaws

Anyways what other Killer creature titles should I both buy on Blu Ray and also watch too? As obviously some of
these titles I'm going to buy at some point physically. Also what are some of your suggestions for creature horror Blu Rays to buy? Just wondering

Do you like giant killer bunny rabbits?


This one is a classic...


And so is this one...


This one not so much but it is a riot!


Do you like giant insects?


I love this one about a Grizzly named Satan!


Another favorite with crabs, birds and bees!


Enjoy!

Well, obviously there's all the big ones like The thing, The Blob, American werewolf in London, etc. but if we go into much smaller ones (seeing as you enjoyed C.H.U.D. and deep star six, two movies I love), i'd recommend Rawhead rex and The Being. Both have great monster designs and are a lot of fun, especially Rawhead rex. If you're interested in werewolf movies, Bad moon is a great under appreciated movie.

Also, seeing as you liked Alligator, i'd recommend Rogue, imo the best of all the alligator/ croc movies. More recently, Crawl and The shallows were both really good too.

Edit: Hadn't thought about the older monster movies like Rzzz's list, which has some really good ones. I'd add the Monster that challenged the world and also The crawling eye (which unfortunately doesn't have a blu ray release here but has one in Germany and is also available on youtube for that matter). I'd second The deadly mantis, it's often dismissed but imo is one of the better ones from the 50's with some terrific fx!

I started watching Rawhead Rex a couple years ago before I started working at Walmart but turned it off right when my mom got home as she hates horror movies as it's not a genre she likes. Also yeah being 27 and working a full time job at Walmart while also still living with your parents is pretty normal for some people including me of course.

I've actually seen Bad Moon fantastic werewolf movie and I also own it too along with Dog Soldiers and the Howling. I'm planning on getting the Blob remake tonight on Blu-Ray its been on my list of horror films to watch or buy for so long.

I've heard great things about Rogue it's also been on my back log for a long while. And I've heard of the Shallows and Crawl might need to buy those at some point.

Ah Birdemic I've seen clips from it and it's so hilariously bad but the random song where Tippi Hedren dances in a small night club is so entertaining and pretty catchy. Also I actually know about some of these titles not all of them of course but I am planning on buying Tarantula, Willard, and Night of the Lepus the rest of these titles are unfamiliar to me.

Also I appreciate the suggestions as for each month I'll be buying 2 horror titles per month starting in March maybe 3 but I am cutting back on Blu Rays a lot next month.

I'm guessing you've probably seen some of these. Figured I would mention them anyways since they weren't listed in your post...

If you like Kawajiri (Demon City Shinjuku, Wicked City) I'd recommend looking up his other works - Vampire Hunter D, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, Ninja Scroll, Bio-Hunter (though this one isn't on Blu-ray).

Someone already mentioned it, but Humanoids from the Deep is a classic exploitation creature film. Some of the themes might be off-putting to some but looks like you could handle it based on some of the films you've mentioned seeing. One of my favorites.

Oh, another is Peter Benchley's The Beast.

https://www.amazon.com/Beast-Two-Dis...ps%2C80&sr=8-3

It's based on a (great) book by the author of Jaws. It's essentially Jaws but with a giant Squid. They made a very fun 90's mini series and it holds up really well with great FX. The blu ray is trash and sold for a fortune (mind you, I still bought it haha) but you can get the dvd for really cheap. Well worth it!

As far as "straight-up" animal horror films go...

"Pre-1970":


1970s:


1980s:


1990s:


As for other "Creature Features" and Werewolf movies:


(Hopefully you have actually seen and/or own some of the "heavy hitters" listed here already? )

I'm sure that a number of these releases are out of print by now but then again, you never know what's lurking about eBay or your local record store...
at a reasonable "used" price...

So from what I can gather the titles I'm Planning on buying are these ones.
Pirahna obviously
Willard
Tremors
Leviathan
Tarantula
The Giant Gila Monster such a dumb film but very entertaining
Howling 3 The Marsupials
Eight Legged Freaks
Crawl
The Shallows
There's probably others that were mentioned here but I'll start with these ones.
