Clowns!!!! Clowns are the most scariest thing on Halloween. They are creepy, ugly, scary, and crazy.

Ghosts are prettt cool I guess. People are scared of them because they cannot see them at times and they supposedly “haunt” you. People are fascinated be these creatures because they know very little about them, and sometimes people like to get a little scare from something.

My favorite creepy creature is probably a mummy. I think it is crazy how they are dead and they are alive at the same time. People like a good scare. Hence scary movies.

I really like ghosts because they are rich with history and can scare you a lot. I have noticed that most ghosts seem to be from a Victorian era considering that it seems more scary to us. If ghosts were modern day it would be more comical because they would probably just sit there on their phone. I think people like creepy creatures because it gives us a rush of fear and adventure to think about such cool things other than work and bland everyday life.

Zombies are cool. I like them because they’re undead so they have to be physically torn apart to actually die. I think people are afraid of them because they eat people like cannibals.

Nothing is really creepy to me. They aren’t real. Skeletons aren’t scary. We are skeletons. Zombies never actually come back to life and if they did, they would be skeletons because the clothes, hair and skin would have deteriorated. Spiders are a fraction of our size. Just squash them. There’s no such thing as witches. Halloween is kind of weird. It’s just for candy companies.

Now Halloween is for candy but it’s original purpose was All Hallows’ eve, the night were all spirts can come back and walk along the earth. We wear costumes to scare the bad spirits away and the idea of candy and sweets is offering to the good spirits.

My favorite creepy creature is El Cucuy. El Cucuy is the Hispanic equivalent to the Bogeyman, with a wolfish face, bright yellow eyes and sharp claws. I think we are fascinated with the concept of the macabre because we don’t humanly understand it. It’s something that’s inside of us, and we can’t turn back our instinct to explore and be curious.

There is a lot of creepy creatures it is hard to narrow it down I think. Many people could be fascinated by these things because the thought of them might be cool. They also might like these creatures I guess.

I don’t really like “creepy things”. I don’t like Halloween so I don’t watch many movies with scary “creatures” or things like that. I think people are fascinated by horror because it gives off an adrenaline rush, & suspense allows people to feel real emotions at fake or scripted actions.

If ghosts walk through walls why don’t they fall through the floor?
Reply
Jonah
10/31/2019 01:25:25 pm
Because they don’t desire to. They want to go through walls, so they do. They could go through the floor if they wanted to, but if they were on the main level in a building with no basement, where would they go? The ground?

I would say that my favorite Halloween monster is Frankenstein. If you know the story of Frankenstein you know that he wasn’t the monster created he was the monster who created the monster. I find him scary because I don’t like the tools he uses ;). I think people are fascinated by the terrifying because it give them a thrill.

There’s an urban legend about a beast called the wendigo. Up in the mountains, these miners ran out of food in the middle of winter, so they were forced to commit cannibalism. The spirit of the wendigo took over their souls, and they become mindless, blind, rotting corpses who seek human flesh. Halloween is so fun!

I like the grieves from Maze Runner. They are so well designed! They are scary because they are almost invincible and their strikes are fatal. I think people are fascinated by horrible monsters because they love to think of deadly creatures with a knowledge that those creatures aren’t actually real and won’t be able to harm them.

I think that my favorite creepy creature is the spider. The spider is the classic creepy creature for Halloween from fake spider decorations to spiderwebs everywhere. I think that people like being horrified because people like the thrill of being scared, that’s why haunted mansions get such good business.

People are scared of spiders because some are venomous enough to kill us. But how many people have really died from a spider? Probably not a ton.

I am boring and don’t have a favorite creature. I guess my favorite story is of Frankenstein and his monster because it shows a lot about what we see and how we act. I think that we like scary things because it has a certain adrenaline. The feeling of having heighten senses is fun.

I think my favorite is the Reverent from the second book in the Fablehaven series. The closer you get to him or his surroundings you start become paralyzed. No one knows what happens when he gets to you, all anyone knows is that he has a nail in his pale hand. If you get it out you become his master of sorts. People are fascinated by things because we want to know the unknown. We want the thrill of knowing we saw something before anyone else did or found something new. We like being able to say that we’re not scared and have people believe us, even if we really are scared.

I am pretty much scared by anything in a scary movie. I don’t really have a favorite. Many things are frightening due to background music lighting and makeup. The creatures are really a figment of our imagination and we make it real in our head. People are fascinated by this things because we like the adrenaline, they are based on real events, and our culture doesn’t really flaunt oddities and other supernatural things.

My favorite scary creature is the Summerween Trickster. It’s not actually scary and if you look it up it looks quite amusing. I enjoy scary things because I find them very interesting and fun to watch or learn about.
