From ancient vampires and cursed killers to cosmic gods and grief-born nightmares—these are the Top 10 Monsters in Horror Fiction that defined the genre.
Join Jim from Fantasy for the Ages for another solo countdown through the terrifying corridors of horror literature. From Dracula to Cthulhu, Pennywise to The Overlook Hotel, Jim explores the monsters that don’t just scare us… they stick with us.
💀 Expect gothic castles, haunted hotels, killer clowns, and enough philosophical dread to keep you up long after the credits roll.
Before the Top 10, he also shares a couple of honorable mentions—classics of science-gone-wrong that helped shape everything we fear today.
