The Crypt Keeper is a source of inspiration for plastic skeletons everywhere. And here is Slim’s pick of portraits of the Crypt Keeper.

Slim is a big fan of the original Alien movie and wanted to include a picture of the alien in its infamous facehugger form. So here is a view that might be too close for comfort of the facehugger on approach.

Audrey II is everyone’s favorite homicidal house plant that appeared in Little Shop of Horrors.

A staple of monster movies is the mummy. So here is Slim’s pick of a mummy to add to his art collection.

What monster gallery would be complete without a scary clown? Here is one of the scariest clowns ever: Pennywise. Pennywise is the villain, or at least the one that people see, in Stephen King’s It.

Slim has always been a big fan of Ray Harryhausen’s stop-motion film work. And one of Slim’s favorite Harryhausen movie’s is Earth vs The Flying Saucers. Here is a mock movie poster but without all of that pesky writing.

Slim couldn’t have a monster gallery without featuring the king of all monsters: Godzilla!

The Stay Puff Marshmellow Man is perhaps the least frightening specter in appearance to ever terrorize a major city. Thus earning him a spot in Slim’s Menagerie of Miscellaneous Monsters.

Slim isn’t a big fan of sea monsters but he has always wanted to say “Release the Kracken!”, so here is a Kracken.

While Slim hasn’t been there to narrate, there have been a few times when Kiaju have shown up in the gremlin’s adventures. Here is King Ghidora, the three-headed, winged archenemy of Godzilla and one of Slim’s favorites giant city smashing monsters.
Does anyone happen to know what Ghidora is king of?
