JAWS never bothered me too much, that might be due to me living square in the middle of the damn continent though. Now Landshark, that's another story.  That sucker gave me more nightmares than you can even imagine. |

That's awesome! |
but you can kill him by just poking him with a pillow. |
The Universal Remobot? |
I've read that the legend of the Werewolf originated in central europe and can be explained by the occurance of a rare form of schizophrenia in which the sufferer believes that they are an animal. When this form of mental illness is accompanied by paranoia (not unusual) the person affected may likely become homocidal. There are documented cases in which the patient may believe they are; a wolf, a cat, a RABBIT!!! and other animals have been identified as secondary (or primary) alter egos. |
Yep. Peter Stumpf (sp?) was probably one of the most extreme cases of this disease. He confessed to over 30 murders of children that he consumed while believing himself to be a "werewolf". They caught him biting the heads off of swans in a park in Germany and drinking their blood. There are also documented cases of people digging up graves to consume human remains while in the grip of "lycanthropy". Like I said, it is a fascinating subject to me. I probably have upwards of 100 books dealing with the subject. Fiction and Non. |

Me? I'd hit Kate Beckinsdale like a retard on a drum set; DAMN SHE'S HOT!!! As for the Universal Monsters, my vote goes for the Creature From The Black Lagoon. He is the patron saint of the BUD/S School in Coronado, Ca. Ask any SEAL out there and they'll tell you that the fiurst thing they see when they step into the school is the Creature smiling at them. |
