Which Halloween character/creature/thing is MOST iconic?

Post by Nostalgiascape » Sun Sep 04, 2011 9:51 pm

The list is long, bats, black cats, ghosts, jack o lanterns, haunted houses, Dracula, witches over the moon...there's more where that came from. But you have to pick one as the most iconic thing to represent Halloween. Think hard.
The dark night beckons. Bear us your soul, it whispers. Expose your wicked delights. Join the rest of us on the wind. The dark night beckons and we answer. Sailing into the shadows.

Vampires, werewolves, zombies, Frankenstein, Michael Myers in Halloween movies, Jason Voorhees in Friday The 13th movies, Freddy Krueger in Nightmare on Elm Street movies, Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies plus more! :D

I vote for jack-o-lanterns, although bare tree limbs against a moon with wispy clouds scudding across is a close second for me.

For me the most iconic thing would also be a Jack O'Lantern.

I vote jack o'lanterns as well. Although anything with orange and black with that "vintage Halloween" look counts too in my book.

Witches dressed in black with green skin...Jack 'o Lanterns, Ghosts, Ghouls and goblin's all have their hold on Halloween...also the classic Vampire, Werewolves, Frankenstein as well...Jason, Michael Myers, Freddie as well...

Bats, Black cats, Haunted Houses...
They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
Its heaven and hell, oh well

I agree with you. Jack-O-Lanterns are probably the most iconic, though.

Yeah, I'd say Jack O'lanterns. Followed closely by zombies. There's more books, movies, and tv shows based on zombies than any other Halloween related character/creature.

Vampires, ghosts, zombies, creatures of the night.
Jack o'Lanterns, scarecrows, witches.
Michael Myers, Jason.
