Top 10 Creepiest Crypt TV Monsters, Ranked

Horror thrives in its monsters and mayhem, so when a monster universe came into play in 2015 and was backed by Blumhouse Productions, horror fans had something to be excited for. Crypt TV became a haven for horror shorts in quick time, being deemed the “Marvel for Monsters.”

Using the resources of YouTube and FacebookWatch, they have made some amazing pieces of horror cinema. The content ranges from one-off monster shorts to full-length series, such as The Birch, which just launched at the beginning of October 2019 on FacebookWatch and is fully recommended. With so many monsters thanks to a weekly publishing schedule, some are bound to be creepier or more horrifying. Due to the length of some of these shorts, spoilers are coming.

10 Fluffy (Troubled Youth)

Fluffy appears in the short, Troubled Youth, as the leading monster. Having attacked many of the students, the surviving teens try to live as best they can. The first kill of the short is memorable as a young man gets dragged away with his fingernails ripping off as he tries to hold himself in place.

The monster is then in a classroom with four students, three of which end up in a closet and attempt to lock the fourth one out. The fourth student props the door open and we find out she controls Fluffy, turning it on the students. Fluffy itself is a wolf-man creature with a scaly face and isn’t something you want to see roaming the halls.

9 Cakeman (Birthday Wish)

The short Birthday Wish follows a little girl on her 6^th birthday who gets a mysterious present. When she opens it, nothing is inside, so she uses it as a storage box and takes it into her room. Soon after, the box begins to glow, and the girl’s toys and hands are covered in blood. She then gets pulled into the box by two knife laced hands.

A whole world is in the box as a bunch of children are walking around with no fingers and hiding from an offscreen entity. The little girl comes face to face with Cakeman who lights the girl’s fingers on fire and then starts chopping them off. The final scene is him coming out of the box with his razor teeth showing and just being terrifying.

8 Mimic (Mimic)

Everyone knows the short story where a parent goes in to check on their child in the middle of the night and is asked to look under the bed for monsters, only to find their child looking at them from under the bed terrified. In the short, a boy calls out to his father at night.

When the dad comes in to check, the son is fast asleep, and a noise is heard from the parent’s room. As the dad enters, he sees this tiny creature eating his wife. The Mimic speaks in the boy’s voice and attacks the dad. In the dad’s voice, it calls for the son and the short ends.

7 Miss Annity (Miss Annity)

Miss Annity is the first creature that has been in a series of videos. She is a spider-like demonic being whose focus is making others live a proper life through the use of “Life Lessons with Miss Annity.” These life lessons are incredibly old-minded, such as saying that a man’s place is in the workplace. The way that she kills is interesting as well.

First, Miss Annity infects her target with toxins, using her legs to inject it into the neck. Then she gives them everything they ask for darkly. For one girl, she slices her in half with a tape measurer being pulled through a mirror by the reflection. All her victims become a part of her life lessons.

6 Terra (Water Cycle)

The short film Water Cycle focuses on a woman and her very quiet nephew at a house in the desert. Throughout the short, the woman is constantly having water run in the background. While her water bill is taking a hit, something else feels that she is being too wasteful.

That something else is an entity called Terra. Appearing as a sheen of water at first, it begins to slowly attack the woman. It boils her wine and explodes a glass in her hands, then begins freezing water particles on her skin. The woman gets into a hot tub and Terra finishes her by draining her of all the water and blood in her body.

5 The Thing (The Thing In The Apartment)

Imagine watching a video, on your phone, at home, alone. Out of the corner of your eye, you see something, but ignore it and continue watching. You feel its eyes on you, staring, but you don’t want to look, just in case something is there. In the short, The Thing In The Apartment, the titular Thing is there, waiting to attack.

The horror of this creature is that most of us have felt that feeling before, and The Thing is given a form out of the abstract. As The Thing terrorizes those in the short, it becomes more terrifying as you think that it could be real, meaning Crypt TV did its job well.

4 Mordeo (Mordeo)

Based on the tale of the Wendigo, the Mordeo is a creature that used to be human until it consumed human flesh in the woods. This is a series creature whose first episode came out in 2017 and was followed up with three episodes in 2019.

The design for this creature is very creepy being an eyeless skull with horns, but the transformation from human to Mordeo is peak body horror. The horns burst through the skin as the newly turned begin to rip off the rest piece by piece. The boniness of the creature mixed with its propensity towards human flesh drives the horror home.

3 Kinderfänger (Pipers Song)

A modern horror retelling of the Pied Piper, this version trades rats for children in Crypt TV’s Fables series, which retells multiple stories such as The Little Mermaid and Mirror Mirror. This short opens with a bunch of parents looking for their missing children. Joining the parents is a young girl with a hearing aid.

The girl finds the rest of the children who are surrounding the Kinderfänger. He is playing a song that the girl cannot hear as she takes out her hearing aid. She and the rest of the kids return to the parents, but the other children begin to tear the parents apart at the request of the Kinderfänger.

2 Look-See (Look-See)

“If you yourself cannot release then it will come to take a piece” is the repeated phrase of how to escape this monster, yet few seem to heed the advice. The Look-See has had two seasons of scares and general creepiness under its belt. Targeting people who won’t let go of the past, he has become one of the main faces for Crypt TV’s monster universe.

The most disturbing part is that, even if the person feels like they have let go properly, it’s up to the Look-See’s discretion whether it kills or maims. The types of situations are wildly different too, where one person was mourning the loss of their little brother and another person was thirsting after their friend’s husband, yet they get the same punishment.

1 The Birch (The Birch)

The Birch is the most viewed video for Crypt TV with over 18 million YouTube views. That success lead to Crypt TV’s partnership with the FacebookWatch program to release a new series based on the creature. A forest spirit of sorts, The Birch is a protector of the weak who can only be summoned by those who are true of heart.

In her first outing, she dismantles a bully across the forest, but she has gotten even deadlier in the new series. Her design allows her to blend in with the trees and when she stands over you, she is an imposing figure with a gnarly face. Somehow, she is both the creepiest and most caring monster, but since the series is ongoing, that may change for the main character of the new series, Evie.
