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?

Haunted House 10-09-2006 03:24 PM

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.

Ummmm I like Count Dracula, that ugly clown from Saw, and that girl who masturbated with a cross (the excorsit) haha

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. :D

Jack Skellington is my all time Favorite.

I hope "The Nightmare Before Christmas 3-D" comes to a theatre in Raleigh

I'd have to say Count Dracula.

Boris Karloff as `The Monster` in `Bride of Frankenstein` !!!!

One of the best monsters ever !!! :)

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

Hmm. Not in any particular order, here are mine:

Shunasassy and Peloquin from Clive Barkers Nightbreed,
Actually...all of the Nightbreed monsters,
The pale man from Pans labyrinth, his eye's are in his hands!!!! :D ( can't wait to see that when it comes out)
Giger's Alien,
Dracula,
Jack skelligton ( hugs Jack cushion!!!)
The really ancient old elder skeleton in Corpse bride, I just find him so endearing!!
Nazgul
The big male dragon in Reign of fire
Pinhead
All of the vampire Lost boys ( yum yum)
The big Iron man in Jason and the argonaughts

Dracula, the Invisible Man, zombies in general (though they scare the $hit outta me), the Headless Horseman, Egore, Chucky (scares the crap outta me), Michael Myers, Beetlejuice... more I can't think of.

ZOMBIES!

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

the_cure 10-30-2006 01:40 PM

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.

Oh yes! He is soooooooooooo romantic and erm yeah. I like sad monsters.

Morrigan_Dubh 11-02-2006 09:00 AM

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?

Don't Look Behind You 11-02-2006 09:38 AM

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.

Morrigan_Dubh 11-03-2006 02:19 AM

It's spelt "physically"...
