Since we've entered Halloween season (haloween themed reese's cups are on sale), and we asked about movies, that's great. But which "classic" movie monsters do you have in miniature so you can field them on the table? Classic is defined by you putting it on the list!
big picNosferatu, Drac, Frankie & Bride, Wolfie, Mummy, Invisible Man, Mad Scientist (I even have a Vincent Price one converted from a Heroclix Batman Egghead fig), Creature ftBL, Creepy Kids, Rats! (Ben!), the 50' Ex-Girlfriend. |

Well, everyone has an Invisible Man!
Not listed yet from my pile:
Headless Horseman
Brides of Dracula (numerous variations)
Zombies
Crocodiles (and zombie crocs, but still can't figure if there's any difference in how to game them…) |

Nice stuff, I have a moderate number of such things, Godzillasaurua, 1954 Godzilla, and a more recent Godzilla, King Kong 1933, lots of giant ants, grasshoppers, tarantula, preying mantis, and regular dinosaurs. But also, Mummy, Dracula, Bride of Dracula, Amazons, Skeleton warriors, demons, lots of other insects and reptiles from Killers from Space, 1950s, monster movies are really part of my wheelhouse.

Kaiju I consider somewhat classic movie monster adjacent. And I have good sampling of Godzilla suits across the time spectrum, and pretty much the full Toho menagerie of supporting kaiju with different MechaGodzilla suits too, plus Gamera and the Daiei menagerie. |

Godzilla (original King Kong vs. Godzilla film) And, thanks to my Horrified collection of games:
Dracula
Frankenstein's Monster
The Bride
The Creature from the Black Lagoon
The Mummy
The Wolf Man
The Invisible Man (in his disguise with coat, hat, pants, muffler, dark glasses, etc.)
(All of the above the Universal Studios monsters) The Banshee of the Badlands (no movie I'm aware of)
Bigfoot (lots of movies)
Chupacabra (maybe? Haven't checked for movie)
Mothman (Had a movie and a current TV/streaming documentary of sorts)
The Jersey Devil (don't know)
The Ozark Howler (new one on me, so I doubt it) Medusa (resembles the Harryhausen design, but not fully)
Minotaur (lots of these; again, Harryhausen has a "robotic" version)
Basilisk (hmm… don't know of a movie)
Cerberus (Harry Potter! Only called "Fluffy." Probably also in some Greek hero flick.)
Siren (probably?)
Chimera (don't recall this beastie being filmed. Maybe 2D animated?) Sphinx (don't recall)
Yeti (There's always a Yeti somewhere.)
Jiangshi (Chinese ghost/demon, as I understand it. Filmed? No idea)
Cthulhu (low budget stuff and 2d animation appearances.) Smaug (though mine is nothing like the Cumberbatch motion-capture one or the 2d animated "cat-faced" critter either) Lots of "giant" spiders (a plethora of films for these) |

Somewhere I have the beast from 20 million miles to earth. Picked it up at KitKraft (now defunct) |

I have a mummy a vampire, and a werewolf. |

Pretty much everything noted above, I can field, plus dinosaurs (Gwangi!), a Crawling Eye, Lovecraftian horrors, aliens (do they count?), a Living Brain, the Fly, the Blob -- and of course, Baron Samedi!

I have two Headless Horsemen.
The Old Glory one comes from the Blue Moon 28mm range. It is BMM-105. This is kind of sort of in the Hessian garb.
Knuckleduster has one that's dressed like a cowboy. 🤷
Both come with the traditional Jack O'Lantern.
A real "back burner" project is to do "Ghost Riders in the Sky", or the Wild Hunt on the Brazos River. So far, that's all I have. Old Glory has Undead Pirates. I blame scurvy. Limes could have saved them. |

If skeletons and zombies count, I've got lots of them. |

I've got a few vampires – a Dracula and two more Warhammer-ish ones – a necromancer, and half a dozen witches. An unpainted mad scientist. Plus quite a few orcs, goblins, and skeletons, but I don't think they really count. |
