I don't know why the ghosts have to be simple, when apparently even the zombies are allowed to be complicated. But I like the discorporeal a lot.

jon boy · 01.09.2010, 01:19 PM

i like all of them for various reasons. i put serial killer because thats what scares me the most right now.

Glice · 01.09.2010, 01:25 PM

I prefer Biblical terror. Please amend your poll to include 'vengeful God(s)'.

pbradley · 01.09.2010, 01:26 PM

I think zombies have been removed from their most Kafka-esque qualities but I still prefer them in that sense of the inversion of death, etc.

Glice · 01.09.2010, 01:29 PM

I have to restrain myself from thinking that anyone with an interest in any of these is a complete spacktard, I really do.

Pax Americana · 01.09.2010, 01:31 PM

Probably zombies. Man, I just realized that there have been soooo many vampire movies coming out lately.

No witches?

jon boy · 01.09.2010, 01:59 PM

viruses. that shit scares me no end.

alteredcourse · 01.09.2010, 02:00 PM

I wanted to pick serial killers and werewolves. Though I cant think of any good werewolf horror off the top of my head, the idea of them is more interesting than anyone else. I'm kinda tired of vampires and zombies. Serial killers can be pretty fucked up in how sneaky, human, and happy to torture me in elaborate ways they are.

I guess the real threat of physical control and torture is more terrifying to me than mythology.

EVOLghost · 01.09.2010, 02:04 PM

I would have to say Vamps n Zombies dood.

EVOLghost · 01.09.2010, 02:05 PM

lol mummies?

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 01.09.2010, 02:16 PM

I'm going to have to go with werewolves. I prefer lycanthrope mythology, and the reflection of our contrasting superegos, and ids.

I especially adore werewolves that look like Katharine Isabelle.

She gives me a full moon.

That's a real shame.

infinitemusic · 01.09.2010, 02:33 PM

I used to prefer Vampires, but all this shit ruined it. FUCKERS

Keeping It Simple · 01.09.2010, 02:53 PM

It's vampires for me. The thought of living forever as long as human blood is drunk and possessing supernatural powers is the most appealing and romantic.

Yeah, I like the idea of werewolves. I think they're held back though by the general lack of good werewolf films. American Werewolf in London, The Howling, Wolfen, Ginger Snaps. Not much else. I blame Teen Wolf.

classic choice of the free marketeer
