Monster of the Week

About this list

Before it's a kill, the monster is a mystery. This strain of creature feature runs like a procedural: a town under siege, a body count rising, and a handful of people racing to identify what's out there before it finishes them. This is a list for films where investigators work to discover and stop a single monster terrorizing a community; if it strikes from below the water or the ground, see What Lurks Beneath?
