Grendel’s mom was my favorite creepy creature. She’s frightening because she can not only kill easily but also tempt men into having babies which is every guys fear.

Tallying is my favorite creepy creature. She is frightening because she is abusive and mean. She is fascinating because you never know what she will come at you with.

My favorite creepy creature would probably have to be a skeleton. What makes them so scary is they are just bones and no skin. I think it’s the adrenaline rush that comes with being scared that people like.

I think it might be the slender man from the slender man movie. He controls people minds making them kill themselves. We like the thrill that it gives us.

I favorite is pennywise the clown. I think that makes him scary is the fact that he knows your fears and exploits them. I think people are fascinated with them because they are not normal.

My favorite creepy creature are the different forms of demons. They could be anywhere and you wouldn’t know. People want to know where they come from and why there are there. People even hunt for them.

I have many favorite creepy creatures, one of them is Cthulhu. Cthulhu is a powerful godlike creature from the world of Howard Philip (H.P.) Lovecraft. He has a cult that has human sacrifices to him, no one can even look upon the god because whoever does will die because their mind can’t comprehend it. Those who do live surve Cthulhu willingly, giving in to madness. I think that people who are fascinated with the macabre, like me, is because of the mysterious and uniqueness of it.

Wendigo from Native American beliefs are pretty scary. They are unknow and are supposedly created from people doing terrible things and it’s more of a punishment for the natives. They are so scary because they are humanoid and unfamiliar at the same time.

My favorite creepy creature is a werewolf . What makes them so frightening is they for from man to wolf and there are huge with a mean streak in their blood. I think people are fascinated because we all love a good scare and there are parts to the creepy figures that intrigue us.
