Our 10 Favorite Monsters in Guillermo Del Toro's Films!

Cronos, 1993

In Guillermo del Toro’s Mexican vampire horror film Cronos, which he wrote and directed, a mysterious device provides its owner with eternal life after resurfacing after 400 years, leaving a trail of destruction in its path. It may not look too scary, but the ornate, golden, beetle-shaped device unfurls spider-like legs that grip the owner tightly, and it inserts a needle into his skin that injects him with an unidentified solution. A living insect — entombed within the device and meshed with the internal clockwork — produces the solution.
