Favorite Halloween monster

[vrb8919]

It can be anything! Vampires, witches, ghosts, werewolves, zombies, even a scary movie character.

My niece! When she was younger, if you tried getting near her candy, she would growl at you and try to bite. Seriously? Vampires.

Good, old-fashioned zombies, and not those new dangled ones that run.

In my day they shuffled and you were happy that they did.

Boris Karloff Frankenstein

"And we liked it that way!"

I would say my favorite is the clown from IT, Pennywise

[johnsoneliza52]

I have to go with Frankenstein also

[witchy]

I like them all but Witches and Franky are my fav's!!!

[Murfreesboro]

Tough choice! I love stories about witches, vampires, and ghosts. Hard to choose among those. I guess I love witches because those stories suggest the possibility of magic in the everyday world, ghosts because of what they suggest about life after death, and vampires when I want a good scare.

Werewolves

[ScarecrowJack]

I feel contractually obliged to say scarecrows, though werewolves tie for first.

Old fashioned, cartoon ghosts. You know, the type that look like a floating sheet with circular, dark eyes/mouth commonly accompanied with the sound effect "Booooooooooooo."

That, along with a scarecrow, seem to symbolize the Holiday's creepiness, while maintaining a fun, whimsical spirit.

I like werewolves... the natural born ones... not the ones that use magic belts or anything. The ones in "Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within" computer adventure game are yummy. I hate the Hollywood ones.

... they're kinda like the Hollywood version of zombies-- the mindless, shuffling beasts. Strangely, I've been reading a lot about Haitian zombies lately (for my paranormal blog) and I'm a little grumbly about how Hollywood has taken zombi lore and run away with it.

[ScarecrowJack]

Jadewik, I agree with you 100% on zombies. The only zombie movie I ever enjoyed was Serpent and the Rainbow as it actually dealt with Haitian voodoo costumes. It was still somewhat Hollywood-ized, but they made the effort. I would recommend it if you haven't seen it.

In that case, I got a gif you should like...
