Re: Great Examples of Creature Sound Design
These aren't big aliens or stompy monsters, but I think they're very effective supernatural character sound designs. The ghost girl's "Death rattle" in The Ring was particularly creepy. As was Mercedes McCambridge's voice for the possessed Regan MacNeil in The Exorcist. I'm also particularly fond of the not-entirely subtle pitch shifting of Brad Dourif's voice as the Gemini Killer in Exorcist III.

Yeah I'm in the middle of having to create a few hundred unique creature sounds for a game, and these links have definitely provided some inspiration!
