My favorite scary creature is a zombie. Because they eat people. Because it’s fun to imagine those in real life

The chupracabra is a mexican dog that can teleport in time and eat people. What makes it so frightening is that it is a dog with spines on its back and a mighty appetite. Idk why people are fascinated by it.

My favorite but least favorite creepy creature would be an entity called the shadow man. He is frightening because he has no distinct features but looks human as a dark figure. People are fascinated because it’s something we know so little about and it’s intriguing.

Most definitely John Kramer, or Jigsaw. I’d say people are pretty scared of him, or the idea of him because he literally puts humans in a death trap, that can only be solved by their own intelligence. The cannabinol from Silence of the Lambs is also a pretty creepy character, probably because if you slip up, he will eat you.
