My favorite creature is a zombie. I like them because Lauren is scared of them and it is funny. People probably don't like them because they are dead and rotting.

I like how there are now different types of zombies, like with the Last of Us game and tv series.

My favorite "creepy" creature is from a fandom called the SCP Foundation, where a bunch of people make up strange creatures and build stories with all characters in the SCP universe that others have made. My favorite creature from this fandom is called SCP-4966, and it's my favorite due to it's gimmick, whenever it is in the presence of a corpse, it's tiny little mouth stretches and eats it whole. Then it takes on the physical aspects of what it ate for a period of 4 hours. In appearance it isn't creepy but what it does is fairly creepy.

Is there a lot of different SCPs?

Carma

yea, there are hundreds of entries. If you look up the scp on youtube you can find allot of videos that are very informational on each scp listed in the fandom.

My favorite creepy creature is a skeleton. I think they are cool. I think all of their bones being on display is what makes them scary. Its interesting.

Ana

I think skeletons are cool.

Jersey Anders

Sirens are my favorite. The can draw anyone in. They are fasinating creatures and their history is really interesting.

My favorite creepy creature would have to be between a Werewolf and Skinwalker. I think that when it comes to it they are both creepy but a skinwalker is way scarier than a werewolf, Skinwalkers can disguise themselves as animals and humans, which is by far scarier than a man who grows a lot of hair at night.

I personally love horror aspects in life because the feeling of uncertainty. The unusual, the fear, the newness, and without a doubt, the scares of the monsters in the dark. It would explain awful behavior.

"[...] which is by far scarier than a man who grows a lot of hair at night"

My favorite creepy creature would have to be clown. They are frightening because you don't know who they are and what there intentions are,.

Wyatt Herbst

They also always smiling very creepily all the time.

lloyd neff

Kris Neyman

They all have this unsettling smile that a psychopath would have.

Jersey Anders

My favorite creepy creature is a skeleton. I think they are kind of cool looking, and skeletons remind people about life's fragility.

madi

Never thought about it like that, that is a new way to look at it.

laci bennett

I like your resining for the skeleton

lloyd neff

I lowkey like clowns, they are frightening to me because you have no clue who is behind the costume. I think people are fascinated by horror because they like to see other peoples terror.

Easton Tarkalson

10/31/2023 10:20:23 am

I don't like clowns either

zoe

10/31/2023 10:20:45 am

Jason Voorhees is my favorite creepy creature because he manages to always be right behind you without saying a word and gives an ominous presence. I think horror is fascinated by people because getting scared gives them an amount of dopamine that makes them want to be scared more and more.

Laci Bennett

If it creepy I probably don't like it so I don't have one. People do this because it gives the adrenaline and they all like those moments of being scared.

Zac Winchester

10/31/2023 10:22:54 am

You dont like scary creatures?

sydney

10/31/2023 10:22:48 am

I think my favorite creepy creature are sirens because they are known to be beautiful and frightening to people. They're frightening because they lure people to the ocean to kill them. I think people are so fascinated with sirens for their alluring song to lure people to their death.

Lauren

I dont have a favorite but my least favorite is zombies. I just hate zombies. Always have, always will. Other people might find the undead cool.

Keelan Cooper

My favorite scary character is bigfoot. He looks kinda grumpy and is too large. I would like him more if he was smaller.

lloyd neff

10/31/2023 10:24:43 am

why don't you like him big though?
