# Ghoulish LEGO Monsters Recreating Famous Movie Hellions Out of Plastic Blocks By Marissa Liu | Published 2009-09-29 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-monsters References: [geekologie](http://www.geekologie.com/2009/09/_a_gallery_of_lego_monsters.php) & [nonch](http://nonch.com/editors-choice/cool-monsters-from-independent-lego-artists/) You can make anything out of [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-lego) and this includes creepy, crawly LEGO monsters. These sculptures are mostly recreations of famous evil machines from movies such as Alien, Predator and the Matrix but it doesn’t make them any less cool. All of these featured LEGO monsters have been created from individual, independent artists and not some poor, friendless schlep stuck in a poorly ventilated basement obsessing over his LEGO creations (talk about creepy). They may have started out as a tangle of [interlocking plastic blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arkham-asylum-set) but once fully formed, these LEGO monsters are still pretty scary. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **LEGO Monster Sculptures:** Creating impressive LEGO monster sculptures that showcase movie evil machines. - **Individual LEGO Art Creation:** Encouraging independent artists to express their creativity through LEGO art. - **Pop Culture LEGO Art:** Developing LEGO art that reflects famous evil machines in popular movies. ### Who This Affects Most - **Toy Manufacturing Industry:** The toy manufacturing industry can incorporate more creativity into the design of toys and cater to the trend of personalized toy creations. - **Arts & Crafts Industry:** Introducing a LEGO art category within the Arts and Crafts industry can unleash creativity in a diverse range of consumers. - **Movie Theme Park Industry:** Creating a LEGO theme park that focuses on the movie industry can attract visitors who want to immerse themselves in their favourite movies, get LEGO inspiration, and experience the thrill of seeing LEGO monsters up close. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Monster-Honoring Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-lego.md) - [Nostalgic Film-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boos-door.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Brick Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ideas-jaws-set.md) - [Gothic Puzzle Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/addams-family-lego.md) - [Sci-Fi Movie Scene Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-death-star-trash-compactor-diorama.md) - [Cartoon Creature Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-pokmon-sets.md) - [Spooky Show-Themed LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-series-wednesday.md) - [Fandom-Honoring Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fandomhonoring-building-block-sets.md) - [Sci-Fi Series Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-x-stranger-things.md)
