some of what she says is bull. and ironic that she reports the worst.

I really want to see a newsday where they say: 'sorry, not much to report...a man allegedly spilled soda on his laptop...that is all'

**sarpedons-right-hand**

too late! Where did she come from! That's it, Nancy Grace wins thread.....

I'm gonna watch Newsnight now. A bit of Jeremy Paxman should clear that raging harpies voice from my mind, please?

**Deathshead420**

Ineptus the one thing you posted was from a book, and what monster are you saying zombies? Zombies are the ultimate badass? Good book yes, and soon to be crappy movie also true but i fail to see where they are "Greatest".

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die" is, actually, from Lovecraft, which Metallica (quite appropriately) used in their song. So technically I was either quoting Lovecraft or quoting Metallica quoting Lovecraft.

Still an awesome song.

And dude, that tar skeleton guy from Return of the Living Dead, or whatever... I actually hadn't seen that movie til maybe a couple years ago, like a recently enough that I was an adult, and I still found that guy really, really, really fething creepy.

And there was that bit in 'Amarican Gods' where the LA hooker swallows a man alive with her fanged sexual organs.

This is a good one. Creeped me the hell out. But a good omen of things to come in the book. She's the queen of Sheba, right?

Here's some nasty buggers:

I'll post more of mine when I've got more time.

Oh, I messed up the quote. Its from ineptus.

Don't let his appearances fool you. Dredger is not a man, but a monster.

Not on my computer.

It's broken bruv.

It's a picture of Dredger from Sherlock Holmes. Google him.

/thread for real this time

AND he fits in every fiction genre ever. Fantasy? Throw in some Cthulu. Sci-fi? Throw in some Cthulu. Noir fiction? Throw in some Cthulu. Historical fiction based on the English Civil War? Why, everything is better with Cthulu!

Cthulu is cool, but he's just an elder priest and the stars are always wrong so he never does anything ever.

**Deathshead420**

The very first time you run across one of these with little to no ammo i pee'd.....not the best pic but its the RE 1 version that did it to me.

And for the record, Metallica kick ass and Kiss are just plain ass......

No Im with ineptus astartes, Metallica sucks ass. They made maybe 2 good cd's and thats it, and both those are pushing near 30 years old. Seriously, they suck, search your self, youll realize it eventually

And to add to the thread

From the first Jeepers Creepers. I say that only because like most decent monster movies, the sequels really fell off the shelf as far as being good goes. But the first one, now that guy was pretty classy.

God, I remember when those first appeared, I flipped out when Drake had to go into the dark, damp, cramped corridors of the submarine bunker.

I have a friend who will never, ever, ever play the COD: Nazi Zombies (Which he loves doing) unless there is a friend over, first time he played it he was freaked out of his mind.

**Asgeirr Darkwolf**

What I hate about them most IS THAT THEY RUN IN FREAKING CIRCLES!

Plus, they look like a cross between Gollum and Lord Voldemort.

The only thing better than Cthuhlu

Nyarlathotep........ \thread

**Slarg232**

The Biggy Man, while not terrifying, is definately a pulse pounding fight in Splatterhouse 2010.

WARNING, NSFW

Spoiler:

just some FYI, Splatterhouse is based on Cthulu mythos, for those of you whom that matters. Also, despite this dude being full health/Necro Meter, he is damn terrible at the game :/

**Deathshead420**

Based on a turbo graphix 16 game that featured a Jason rip off. I could be wrong tho.
I have heard my whole life how good HP lovecraft was , so i just recently read most ........taking into account the age still kinda sucked imo the only one that i kinda liked was

**zilegil**

Howsabout this guy?

Also somebody put up the concept of the silence out of Doctor Who. Nicely designed, like most things in Doctor Who. But the choreography is frankly crap. All that curling up and chattering, so typical of doctor who. If they changed their choreographer they would be much better off.

No, your not wrong, but to be fair, Castlevania started out where they didn't know which evil creature to throw at you, and so had you fight them all, and now it has stuff like Legion in it. Warhammer 40K started out as a joke, but now is incredibly grim dark, and Bioshock was conceptualized as you being on an Island fighting Nazi's... Things change.

**happygolucky**

What's not to like in these guys (after all they don't nuke the plant...they turn it into glass).

**Deathshead420**

Except one guy in power armor almost singlehandedly defeated all of them.

reminds me of the time there was a snake in the potatoes here...granddad cut it in half with his sword...

we love our spuds here...no damn samnp is getting near them!

It's not just a snake, it's a basilisk?

It can turn you to stone in a single glance.

But originally it looked more like a snake chicken of death.
