Both Jason and the zombies should have on camera and off-camera speeds. Jason is faster than a greased weasel if the camera's not looking at him.

Good calls on zombies and Godzilla. I seem to remember the Thing in the original Thing didn't move around too much, but I guess you really only saw it that
one time when it was caught in the electrical trap.

I am glad that Gill-Man made the cut

What, no nod of the head to various bodiless, crawling limbs?

Those severed hands go fast (see "Waxwork" and "Evil Dead")!
....True, some do just sit there and flop around. |

Can can't even look at the gill-man without thinking that he's a coppa-feel-acanth. (thank you Crow T. Robot!)

These folks have obviously never seen the z-grade film "The Creeping Terror" or it would have been first, second and third at the top of the list-
the great thing about this movie is that while the creature is moving towards its victims at a snails pace the potential victims stay in place screaming until
the monster arrives to swallow them up!

Good call on THE BLOB although the remake largely took care of that problem.

They should mention the absolute slowest monster ever which is slower than the traditional zombie...the skeletons\zombies from the Blind Dead movies. Not the
ones on horses but the ones on foot. I kept thinking to myself as I watched the Blind Dead movies, if the women would quit standing there screaming they
could just walk away...sigh

Also, while it's been a while since I saw it -- I think "The Hand" was pretty damn slow.

The original Michael Myers I think should still win by a longshot.

I seem to remember in the Universal Mummy films that, even though he walked wioth one leg dragging at little more than a slow shuffle, he always managed to get
ahead of whoever was fleeing from him and was certainly never far behind, no matter how fast they ran. Uncanny.

I would think the answer to who is the deserved number one would be found in the title of the article--the original "creeping terror." I seem to
remember a few "victims" actually hoisting themselves into the maw of the carpet, i mean "monster."

I think the classic CRAB MONSTERS were just about the slowest!

Before this thread limps off into eternity, just wanted to post one of my favorite quotes about the Mummy (from a 1944 review of THE MUMMY'S CURSE in THE
HOLLYWOOD REPORTER):
"[Kharis claws] his way through the swamp, dragging a bad case of athlete's foot in his right pedal, at the speed of a guy pushing a Cadillac up a hill." |

We forgot the killer zucchini from It Conquered the World. Kind of tottered and fell over.
