Our last Monster Madness match-ups were veritable bloodbaths. Both the giant croc and the Ghoulies were dispatched easily by the Mist Walker and Hithcock’s killer birds. Today, we’ll find out if the Rhedosaurus can stand up to the badassness of the Balrog, and whether Frankenstein’s Monster can go toe-to-toe with Jeff Goldblum.<\/p>\n

An ancient lizard of destruction goes up against an even more ancient fiery demon from the depths of hell (or whatever underworld exists in Middle Earth). This is a pretty interesting battle. Rhedosaurus may best the Balrog in size, but the Balrog is a giant winged demon who also happens to be on fire.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Rhedosaurus<\/strong> \u2013 Awoken from a nuclear blast in ‘The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms’, Rhedosaurus looks like a humongous, blood-thirsty iguana ready to wreak havoc on coastal cities. Created by the fabled Ray Harryhausen, Rhedosaurus still looks great for an old-school monster from 1953.<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/span> Besides being a large and menacing lizard from the deep, Rhedosaurus (like Godzilla) is able to breathe nuclear-powered fire from his mouth, scorching anything he touches.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/span> Isotope missiles (according to trusty old Wikipedia<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

<\/a>Balrog<\/strong> \u2013 An ancient demonic creature from the bowels of Middle Earth, the Balrog is one of the coolest looking movie monsters out there. If you were a kid and tried to think up the scariest monster you could, chances are you’d think up a Balrog. A flaming demon of death with a whip. Scary!<\/p>\n

Strengths:<\/span> Besides being gigantic, I think Balrog’s biggest strength is that he’s rather dexterous and mobile. He can move his hulking frame with the agility of a human. The skill to work that whip is perfect evidence that the Balrog would most likely run circles around the lumbering Rhedosaurus.<\/p>\n

Weaknesses:<\/span> Magical bearded men.<\/p>\n
