Create a concept monster
 

Heads together for a new concept in creating our own monster.

What would be its most fearful feature?

Let the imaginations soar.............................:D

Interesting this thread was started today. I was thinking about what scares me about monsters as I was depositing a raccoon that I trapped into the woods, and while a hideous appearance is one of them, its more about the vicious and hateful way they do their business. It's annoying when something that's supposed to be evil stops and roars in some kind of display, or rises in the air with a leer, arms out, toying, etc. Scary monsters (and I include a possessed Jack Nicholson here, as well) are wide-eyed, mad and relentless, and they don't waste any time.

And white eyes with tiny pupils scare the hell out of me.

well let's see...

How about something humanoid, but with no mouth or eyes or features of any kind... like an animated artist's model that follows and follows, haunting you, hanging in the shadows until one morning you awaken featureless...and go off to stalk someone.

To be undistinguished, undifferentiated is a primal fear. It hits us in the psyche, playing on our fear that deep down none of us are special.

Funny you mentioned the eyes

I was about to say tha too..
Freshwater eels...especially the old ones..[grandpa they are called here]
When you look in the water..its all black...then ever so slowly they open thier
eyes to look up at you...all you see are the whites of thier eyes..freaky as hell

Hm...I always wanted a pet werewolf,and i would call him fluffy.He would have long finger nails...Very high IQ.Um...And be good with guns.Yes,that about sums it up.

Maybe something you can never quite see or if you do, it's in such a shape that the brain just can't quite catagorize it.

The Shadow People - they're invisible head-on and can only be seen in periphery.

It's the scourge of the meth-addict.

I was trying so hard to remember how to spell this word for my post!!
arg:rolleyes:

*EXACTLY* the same as me! :D I actually had a nightmare one night that involved a prehistoric mammoth rampaging through a busy shopping centre, trampling people in its path. It came straight at me and when I looked into its eyes, there was such a corrupted, completely insane anger going on in them, that it woke me up. I felt sick for a few days - weird, huh? :rolleyes:

Spooky! Arent most *ghosts* seen this way, too? :eek:

Now *that* would make a wicked film short or movie - like it!! :D

Would he be a good shooter with those darn long finger nails? :p

Yes .

i think it need's to be very bony and slimy. SOmething you really wouldn't like to make contact with. And for the sound, this is hard to explain, a kind of, back of your throat, gargling sound with a mixture of screaching in it.

Like a wookie? ;)

Oh i like this thread.
Some cool ideas.
Having just read "Others", my mind is filled with monsterous features.
Something hidious but distantly resembles a human.
A creature that lurks, that you never quite see but is the last image before it kills you.
I have too many ideas now lol.

The ultimate nightmare: something that attacks you while you're doing #2.

in your home toilet?
or a port-o-potty?
or just when you are in the unfortunate situation of having to crap in the woods?

I'm feeling the horror:eek:

Heh! Haunted Port-O-Potty: They'll Scare the Shit out of You.

Something from outer space that burrows into live brain matter.

Ill change mine,ill just make a T-rex out a frog....tin foil,a couple of razor blades and a few wire hangers...

something that never speaks or runs, is human but kinda not, they wear overalls and a white mask, possibly an altered william shatner one. Man that would be sweet. I should get it patented.

reminds me of the late great J T Walsh's line in Crazy People:

I wanna know how the fuck the word "fuck" got in the fucking New York Times!


How about a creature that flash-freezes you, then lets you slowly thaw as hundreds of it's offspring gestate inside you. When you are nice and warm and awake, its kind of like "alien", only rather than just your chest, you explode in randome locations as the baby creatures erupt from wherever they were carried by your bloodstream.

Would make for some sweet death scenes :)
