Scary Monsters and Vanessa Morgan






Paranormal Wastelands welcomes Vanessa Morgan author of Drowned Sorrow and The Strangers Outside


MONSTERS THAT SCARE ME THE MOST

Thank you for having me on Paranormal Wastelands today. I'm truly honored to be here with all of you! With the day of the dead approaching fast, let's have a look at some of the scariest movie monsters ever.

DOPPELGÄNGERS

A doppelgänger is a person's physical double. Seeing one's own doppelgänger often heralds death or serious illness. Paranormal investigators believe that the doppelgänger is an individual's past or future self. In some traditions, the double has no shadow or reflection.

Here are two seriously creepy horror movies about doppelgängers...

EVIL KIDS

There's something undeniably scary about children gone evil wether it's through vampirism ("Salem's Lot"), radioactivity ("The Children Of Ravensback"), aliens ("Village Of The Damned") or just plain insanity ("Devil Times Five", "Mickey", "The Good Son").

The following are my favorite evil kids movies...

The Children Of Ravensback (1980): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8aJDLCFzo8

Bloody Birthday (1981): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpiELzyx-Xc

¿Quien puede matar a un niño? (aka Who Can Kill A Child?, aka Island Of The Damned)(1976): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-GQThxd3DEHYPERLINK "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-GQThxd3DE&feature=related"&HYPERLINK "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-GQThxd3DE&feature=related"feature=related

 

THE UNDEAD

As Jud Crandall says in Pet Sematary: « Sometimes dead is better. » Many close friends and family members have seen recently deceased people in their homes, but somehow these real-life encounters with the undead are never as scary as in the movies.
