Q – The Winged Serpent (1982)
From the late, great Larry Cohen, this unhinged delight imagines that Aztec god Quetzalcoatl—a giant dragon-bird-monster-thing rendered in the best low-budget special effects the early ‘80s could offer—builds a nest atop the Chrysler Building and sets about unleashing death from above on hapless Manhattan residents. There are two big-ass eggs in this one: the first is cruelly destroyed in the nest, not long before the creature itself gets taken down—while the second is revealed to be hatching (with a scream!) just before the credits roll. Unfortunately we never got a sequel to see its rampage of revenge.
