I've seen most of those movies. 
Hmmm...so-so list. If he's excluding intentionally silly monsters, why does he have Guiron on the list? A knife-headed monster that shoots ninja stars? That's as intentionally silly as you can get.
I also spotted a mistake in his description of Gezora: "Giant squids are nothing new to science fiction and fantasy films, but this giant squid, I am fairly certain, is the only one that has ever walked upright on land." Not true. Viras, a Gamera monster, does the same. It also looks much stupider.
#10, the "Cheap Monster" from Creature of Destruction would be my top choice from his list. That picture makes the monster look much better than it really is.
I'd recommend everyone see Brainiac and Attack Of The Beast Creatures. Both as so insane, you have to watch them. Beast Creatures is especially weird. In it, a group of people are shipwrecked on an island populated by killer dolls (rip-offs of the Zuni fetish doll of Trilogy of Terror). Oh, and drinking the water there makes you melt.

Channel 56 in Boston used to run "Creature Double Feature" every Saturday during my brat years. I think just about everything on that list was covered (and a few gawdawful gems as well). I'm glad The Green Slime made it (with Nick Adams--the unthinking man's Marlon Brando, no less), and seeing Guiron reminded me of having a crush on the 2 brain-eating gals.

I always got a good laugh out of "night of the lepus" too... giant maneating jackrabbits? Yeah, sure. However, if the rabbits had been snowshoe hares, it would have been more plausible.. I read somewhere that those arctic bunnies actually do eat meat...
