I'm with you there, no supernaturel monster can compare to the MIL , especially mine. I would rather take on a a herd of bloodthirsty vampires, tackle some hell bent demons than spend hal an hour with that woman...
These creatures just have no idea how scary, scary can be !

Demon/entity. I'll NEVER get over Linda Blair spewing green stuff and her head spinning and I was 25 when I watched that movie all the way through! The other stuff is all fake but if you have any belief in the Bible you know that demons do exist. Not to mention is the idea of what you can't see that is really terrifying.

I voted for Demon/entity and see that I'm not alone!
Actually maybe just evil. Evil that looks human.
Yea, I love sci fi, vampires, werewolves. I get scared and have fun.
Demon/evil spirit movies...I don't do them. Haven't for a long time.
I can't take it and have actually left movies half way.

I don't consider the "zombies" from 28 Days Later to be real zombies, otherwise I would have picked (fast) zombies too.

I picked demon. for one reason, all the other ones, at one point, are/were human. not sure why that matter so much other than knowing a bit more what you're dealing with. a demon is as alien as, well, an alien! plus, there's something creepy about a being that came from Hell/another dimension versus something that lived once Earth as a normal human once upon a time

plus, I think pop culture has softened the image of vampires, witches, and werewolves. how can anyone really be afraid of Harry Potter, Angel and Spike from BTVS, and Edward and Jacob from Twilight? they're all so pretty/cute/cool!

What, no "all of the above" choice?

Do all zombies eat brains or are some just relentless bad walkers or extremely fast runners who can also climb up buildings and love the nightlife? Are there any little old lady zombies, zombies in wheelchairs or out of shape zombies that, you know, you could outrun?

Are all werewolves naked men when they turn back into humans? That could be scary, especially if there is a pack of them and they are really hairy naked men when they change back.

Do vampires have bad bloody stinky breath no matter how good-looking they are?

Witches? C'mon, there were witches in the Wizard of Oz and that's not even a horrror movie.

Aren't demons just bad in the eye of the beholder? I mean, aren't you just demonizing a whole class of people because of a few bad ones? Have you not had your multicultural brainwashing in school, yet? Demons have rights, too, and I'm sure there are a gaggle of ACLU lawyers waiting to take you to court over this. We should respect their cultural differences to tear out of human bodies, emerge in churches from the floor flinging candles, pews and overturning statues and stabbing with crosses, flying away with little farm kids or teenagers, etc. In fact, we should create demon sanctuary cities to encourage them to report demon crime without penalty of banishment back to hell. AND, we should stop torturing them. That setting them on fire or throwing water on them to melt them or stabbing them until the green stuff comes out, or burning down a whole lair of them in some cave when they won't tell you where the emboweled bodies are or the cute teenage girls are that they have strapped to a table because they haven't eviscerated them yet, just has to stop. We should take them to the police station peacefully, mirandize them, give them a demon bible and special demon food while we hold them, and get them a lawyer courtesy of the taxpayer. Torture is not who we are as a people.

Exactly. He also left out dogs, and garden variety creatures (The Blob, The Thing, Alien, Pinhead/Cenobites and Freddy Kruger).

OMG totally! EEK!

I voted demon. The others seem to have a chance of getting beat - demons are all spooky, supernatural, and unbeatable. They can reach you wherever you are and transport you into a creepy other dimension. Ack - better stop before I give myself bad dreams!
