Pennywise (It) vs The Xenomorph (Alien)

The best way to judge these two is to watch them in action.  First, we're introduced to Pennywise the Dancing Clown.  Poor little Georgie has lost his boat - but don't worry, Pennywise is there to help...

Next, we meet the Xenomorph.  Kane sites down to a nice meal with his crew mates when he starts to feel an unpleasant sensation in his stomach.  No, it's not indigestion - it's something else...

But the Xenomorph isn't the only one who knows how to make a dramatic entrance.  Eddie is taking a shower when a certain clown decides to interrupt.

Pennywise is pretty horrifying, but the Xenomorph is no stranger to terror either.  And it's quite a bit bigger than it was the last time we saw it.  Brett is looking for Jonesy, the cat, when he gets a nasty surprise.

The kids of Derry are looking through an old album when they get a surprise of their own.  "I'll kill you all! Ha Ha! I'll drive you crazy and I'll kill you all! I'm every nightmare you've ever had! I am your worst dream come true! I'm everything you ever were afraid of!"



Through all that has happens on the Nostromo, Dallas remains calm.  But all of that changes when he enters the air ducts to go looking for the alien...

OK.  Time for closing arguments.  Pennywise ends by proving he's not just a thing of childhood imagination, by tormenting grown-up Richie.



The Xenomorph finishes by taking out two of the remaining three crew members as they try to make preparations for their escape.  Ripley tries desperately to get there in time, but is too late to save them.

And the winner is...

The Xenomorph

With acid blood, a second mouth, a pointy tail, and just an overall awesomeness that can't be denied, the Xenomorph is the ultimate monster.
