Favorite Monsters
Since Halloween is relatively close, I wanted to do a thread on favorite monsters. My favorites in chronological order are the Count from Sesame Street, Jack Skellington, Dracula, and Frankenstein. What are yours?

Actually, Frankenstein was the name of the doctor who created the monster, not the monster itself.
If zombies count as an individual monster then I like them best. My favorite zombie, though, is Karen Cooper (the little girl zombie in Night of the Living Dead). Other than zombies I like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Tall Man from the movie 'Phantasm', and... Nik Fiend.

Jaws is one of my favs as it was one of the few monsters that could actually scare me (I didn't go scuba diving for a freakin' YEAR after I saw that movie, when it first came out!), Dracula, Godzilla, the Zantis (from The Outer Limits T.V. episode), can I count the Martian robots in the remake of "War of the Worlds"? (the one with Tom Cruise)
Once those damn things saw you, there was no escape. Oh, and the dad from the original "The Hills have Eyes". I'll never forget watching him eat that guy as he was cooking him. Hmmm, cannibalism...(starts thinking about writing story...)

Lestat from Queen of the Damned... Lestat happens to be a nickname of mine that my best friend has given me... but I just call her Akasha back.

First and foremost, I was going to say the same as Haunted House:
Does Nik Fiend count?
Then it would be me.
Then the Shrike (from the saga Hyperion)
The Yog-Sototh
Then Loki
Jörmungandr
Cthulhu
Dracula (Come on! That bitch can do anything!)
Mr. Hyde
And Jack The Ripper

ZOMBIES!
Nosferatu is a close second. Has anyone ever seen the original from the 20's? It's really frightening.

This is really very difficult. I would have to say my favorite is The Phantom in Phantom of the Opera.

I've seen bits and pieces of it. I remember seeing it in an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark when I was a kid LOL. I loved that show - even started my own "Midnight Society" with a friend of mine.

Yeah no kidding. They should have a remake too, although I doubt it would be as good.

ooooh what a cool thread!! lol!
my favourite mosnter are vamiprs !
Also, self-aggrandizement and apathy.
Not to mention reaction formation, displacement, suppression, projection, intellectualisation, rationalisation, compensation, sublimation and regressive emotionality.
They're all pretty frightening, aren't they, kids?

Indeed, the human nature is probably the feakiest monster but I like monsters that symbolise the darker sides of the human psyche more than the actual titles of these tedencies. (sublimation, though, as far as I know is a nice little phenomenon).
and I just probably said something absolutely off subject...oh well.
