Scariest Halloween monster?
 

Well, it's Halloween and my question is this, what monster do you find scariest of them all and why?

Children. They dribble snot on my doorstep.

None of the above.

Flying cock goblins. *shivers*

None of those.

The Thing. The concept alone is terrifying.

Slenderman!

I probably should have added "Creeper" and "Other". If it's not on the list, just add comment. The only thing that's scarier that children are the little children.

None of those. My genitals.

I guess out of all of those, I'd say giant insect. All I can think of is a fifty foot mantis. Eugh.

All I can think of is my genitals.


Edit: And all of the wonderful attention they are currently receiving.

The Mutant is more like a category, so it can be pretty much anything.

Your genitals are not on the list, OANST. Though they probably should be. I bet they're terrifying.

Oh, they are. They are.

Add OANST's bollocks to the list then I'll be more inclined to vote.

But... but it says I'd have to pick two to vote :C EWWWWWW

...or three... OANST, do you........?

I believe that would fall under "mutant".

Yeah...

Zombie O'Donnel.

I fucking loved that Movie.

The Fly was pretty cool too.

Not too many halloween monsters scare me, to be honest.

Skeleton. You can't burn him, drown him, shoot him or stab him, and most skeletons seem to be smart enough to avoid a good crushing.

Why, I can shoot a skeleton

None of those, you know what I find creepy?

And OANST's genitals.

Edit: I had a feeling somebody would neg me for making that post, xD. Fuck it, it's halloween!

Dear Nepsotic:

Fuck you for posting that.

What about this?

Better, or worse?

God dammit.

Come on Manco, it's halloween, don't get so angry! Don't spread hate, spread love, and kindness, and smiling dogs!

I absolutely despise that photo.

That smiling dog picture (the creepy one) is older than the internet. Anyone still frightened by it is a wiener.

What am I scared of? I guess practical things. Like murderers, or wild animals.
One halloween not so many years ago, I was packing up some leftover equipment from a film shoot alone at night in some woods behind my house. I heard some twigs snap underfoot and knew I wasn't alone. In that moment a thousand different possibilities freighted through my brain, and despite all the vast and imaginative otherworldly horrors I thought of, none of them scared me. The idea that I was being stalked by a psycho, or a bobcat, or a rabid dog was far more terrifying.

The story ended with it being one of those three. I'll let you guys guess which. Kind of like a "choose your own adventure" deal.

DON'T LIE SKELETONS CAN SMELL DISHONESTY

Wait...or can they? Damn.

Spooky scary skeletons

With what?

Adult fears are worse than kid fears. And absolutely tasteless to dress as.

Deep sea creatures are pretty creepy. Like that Bloop or whatever.

The Bloop probably wasn't a creature, though.

You want a scary deep sea creature?
Angler fish, fucking hanging.

Unfortunately, I think they came to the consensus that it was the sound of glaciers shifting. I was bummed because I so wanted it to be a giant sea monster.

It sounded like a landslide to me.

Forgive me for relying on Wikipedia, but Wikipedia doesn’t say that they ever found the source.

They have no proof of what it was exactly, which is probably why there's nothing definitive on Wiki. I've just read articles here and there that have mutual postulations.

There's actually quite a few unknown sounds the NOAA have recorded over the years. I think "Julia" is far more distinct and disturbing than the Bloop, because it sounds the most organic, enough to earn it the personified title. You can hear it here.

The other interesting thing is the most famous of these recordings almost all took place within the span of a few months in 1997, with a few exceptions. There haven't been any significant recordings since, despite the improvements of hydrophone technology.

I heard Julia on an /x/ thread a little while ago, didn't phase me. I don't get it. Just sounds like underwater noises.

Well, there's a few things that aren't evident in the sound itself that lend to the mystery.

For one, the sound is sped up/pitched up 16x it's recorded speed, otherwise it would be at too low a frequency for us to hear. So, if it were above water, it would be a basso bellowing that would make our eyes bleed and shatter buildings. Also, all these recordings are apparently super fucking loud considering how sound waves travel through water. Many of these sounds were picked up by microphones that were over 5,000 kilometers away.

What does all that mean? Only that whatever caused the sound would have to be incredibly massive, and that some of the sounds have been designated as possibly being organic in origin.
