Small creature horror is a delightful subgenre of horror that deals with little mischievous beings such as goblins, gremlins, leprechauns, trolls and so forth. I don' think anyone has made a list out of these yet so I figured why not?! Suggestions are very welcome! 🙏🙏🙏
Some ground rules for inclusion:
- No artifical beings such as robots or dolls/toys. This rule may be bent if the artifical being has some sort of magical quirk (the little blood demons from Subspecies is a good example).
- The generic Grey Aliens (y'know the little grey dudes with big black eyes?) are disqualified. Mainly because they seem a bit too calm and diplomatic to count as nasty critters.
- No small animals…

- No small animals such as piranhas or insects, those belong under the animal horror banner! Tiny mermen and other animal/human mashups on the other hand..
- Alien slugs/worms or really anything with no human-like characteristics are disqualified! A nasty critter should ideally resemble humans (or at least other nasty critters) to some minimal degree!
- ANY of these rules can be disregarded if the critter in question is a blatant Gremlins ripoff!
