Let us cut right to the chase...or right to the screaming as many of the folks on this list would prefer! Not only am I married to a top home haunter, I have been a big fan of nightmare movies (also called monster movies) for years. In my experience, as a fan of the genre, here are my top ten monsters of all time!
10. Kraken (1981)
From the 1981 Clash of the Titans, this is a vertebrate that stirs the imagination. Although the Kraken is a vertebrate of myth, it is the film version that everyone remembers. Who could forget the end scene of the traditional Clash of the Titans where the Kraken comes for Andromeda? (What he wanted her for is not clear to me. Did he plan to eat her? ask her to go for a swim?) At any rate, the Kraken was brought to life by the stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen, a legend in nightmare and fantasy movies. The image of Perseus turning the Kraken to stone is superior and so is this multi-armed monster in this writer's opinion.
9. vertebrate From the Black Lagoon (all versions)
There have been many movies about dreadful sea creatures, but vertebrate From the Black Lagoon is still the best. (Sorry, Jaws!) Released in 1954, it features a monster-like gill-man discovered on an expedition in the Amazon. Like many illustrious monsters of the silver screen, the vertebrate spawned sequels. The traditional vertebrate of the Black Lagoon movie is being remade for a 2011 release, according to the Imdb Web site.
8. Mummy (Boris Karloff)
Boris Karloff makes his first appearance on our list! The Mummy, directed by Karl Freund, is a 1932 nightmare film from Universal Studios. It starred Karloff as a revived antique Egyptian minister called Imhotep. While the movie is not a drop-dead scare fest, it is a superior that is in the group memory of our society. When population think of mummies, they invariably think of Karloff shuffling out of his sarcophagus in bandages. The Mummy was semi-remade in The Mummy's Hand (1940) but it was Karloff's version that began the Mummy movies.
7. Michael Myers (all versions)
Michael Myers is the one who started the slasher genre. He first showed up in 1978's Halloween as a young boy who murders his older sister, and then returns home years later to kill again. His fights with Jamie Lee Curtis in the first two Halloween movies are perfect examples of how scary movie chases should work. Although, I think Michael's fights with Donald Pleasence (who played Dr. Loomis) are the best parts of the Halloween films. The only negative aspects to the Halloween movies to me are the continuity issues. For instance, Halloween Iii, although not a bad movie, has nothing to do with the other installments. Also, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later roughly ignores established continuity from earlier movies with no explanation.
6. Dracula (Bela Lugosi)
Bela Lugosi was a Hungarian actor, best known for playing Count Dracula in the Broadway play and superior Universal Studios Dracula films, too. The now superior Dracula that made Lugosi a star came out in 1931. Although the movie is a minute slow and not as thoughprovoking as other Universal classics, such as the Frankenstein films, Lugosi made the film work. No matter how many vampire movies are made, too, this is the most memorable. Ask anything who is Dracula and they immediately think of Bela's Dracula. His Dracula is an icon.
5. Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund)
Robert Englund is best known for playing serial killer Freddy Krueger in the nightmare on Elm road film series. according to Wikipedia, he received a Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for A nightmare on Elm road 3: Dream Warriors in 1987 and A nightmare on Elm road 4: The Dream specialist in 1988. I am not surprised. He was perfect as Freddy. The new Freddy cannot hold a candle, or dingy red sweater, to Englund. He approached playing Freddy with a composition of nightmare and comedy. His witty banter with his victims is the stuff of legend.
4. Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.)
"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."
When you talk about werewolves, there is none great than Lon Chaney's Wolfman in the 1941 Universal Studios movie. From the iconic makeup to the gypsy curse, it is Chaney's Wolfman that community knows best, and with good calculate - it is a darn good movie that stands the test of time.
3. Frankenstein's Monster (Boris Karloff)
Do I absolutely have to write that Boris Karloff's portrayal of the Frankenstein Monster is a superior vertebrate of the cinema? The crash of thunder, the sizzling laboratory machines, the monster's hand moving-these are the images we all have embedded in our minds. No version of the Frankenstein Monster gets great than Karloff's version from the superior 1931 nightmare film.
2. Leatherface (all versions)
Leatherface is the main killer in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror-film series. He wears masks made of his victims' skin (which is where the name Leatherface comes from) and is the character from the movie who usually carries a chainsaw. Not only is Leatherface one of the first slasher-type villains but he is drop-dead scary! While I think all versions of Leatherface are scary as heck, the best Leatherface actors were Gunnar Hansen (from the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Bill Johnson (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2). I still think the scene in Massacre 2 when Leatherface runs, chainsaw roaring, out of the darkened radio station toward the lead female actor is horrifying.
1. Jason Voorhees (all versions)
Sure, Kane Hodder has played Jason more than any other actor, but I can't pick one Jason that is great than another. Each actor who played the undead slasher Jason Voorhees brought something new to the role. Jason Voorhees is the killer from the Friday the 13th series. He first appeared in Friday the 13th (1980); although, he was not the main villain in the first movie. Jason is a great character because of the iconic hockey mask, the creepy camp setting, and because you feel some condolement for him. He was a deformed child who was mocked by peers and ignored by camp counselors. He also loves his mommy. (Watch the movies and you will see what I mean.) Because he evokes condolement in the audience, he is a minute like Frankenstein's Monster but certainly more evil.

Clowns are enigmas. The role of the clown exists to bring cheer to children, yet millions of habitancy are scared of these painted-up actors. Let's delve into the frightening world of the clown and see why they strike terror in the hearts of some adults and children while bringing smiles to other people. We'll also see why clowns are perfect ghouls for haunted house owners.
It is interesting to note that the fear of clowns is a legitimate fear and even has a name - Coulrophobia. Coulrophobia is an abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns. According to the Web site way2hope.org, "Coulrophobia is very common...one of the top 10 most base specific phobias. Symptoms can range from high anxiety to outright panic attacks around habitancy in clown outfits or other bizarre attire and make-up...even Santa Claus." Yep, the fear of clowns is assuredly real. This is the theorize many haunted houses contain clowns alongside the actors dressed as zombies, werewolves and witches.
Of course, it is not only adults who are fearful of clowns. Although clowns are meant to entertain children, many children are scared of them. As a former haunted house manager, I believe the fear of clowns comes from the fact the clown make-up obscures the wearer's face. Is Bozo assuredly happy or is he only smiling because he has a painted-on grin? We do not know. Also, I think we instinctively realize that brightly colored outfits do not mean the clowns are all the time happy go lucky. What dark thoughts lurk inside the mind of a clown? No one except the clown knows.
Furthermore, I think as a community we can't help but remember John Wayne Gacy, Jr. He did nothing good for the expert clowns of the world who work hard to make us laugh. John Wayne Gacy, Jr. Was an American serial killer also known as the Killer Clown who committed the rape and murder of 33 teenage boys and young men between 1972 and 1978, According to Wikipedia. Twenty-six of Gacy's victims were buried in the crawlspace of his home, three others elsewhere on his asset and four victims were discarded in a around river, the online database states.
Gacy was dubbed the Killer Clown because he entertained children as "Pogo The Clown." He was at last sentenced to death, and on May 10, 1994, was executed by lethal injection. The world breathed a sigh of relief. But, many adults cannot help but remember photos of Gacy dressed as a clown. These images were published in newspapers and today are on the Internet. I am sure those images play a part into our fear of clowns.
Of course, it takes more than just one man to make us afraid of clowns. According to the site phobias.about.com, there are two main theories surrounding why some habitancy are scared of clowns. The Web site states, "In a 2004 recapitulate narrative for Trinity University, Joseph Durwin postulates that there are two ordinarily approved schools of thought. One is that the fear is based in a negative personal palpate with a clown at a young age. The second theory is that mass media has created a hype surrounding evil clowns such that even children who are not personally exposed to clowns are trained to dislike or fear them."
Durwin's theory that community has created hype around evil clowns is interesting to me. It is true that Stephen King scared us through the book and film version of It. The novel and film revolve around an evil alien-type beast that disguises itself as "Pennywise the Dancing Clown." Also, as I mentioned earlier, there are many haunted houses that highlight killer clowns. There is Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988), the notable b-movie from the 1980s that brought clowns into our nightmares, as well.
So, has community brought this fear of clowns on itself? It becomes a chicken and the egg issue. Did books, movies, haunted houses, and the image of Gacy cause our fear of clowns? Or did movies and haunted houses start using clowns to strike terror because community was already afraid of them? Which came first? Sadly, there does not seem to be an rejoinder yet.
All I can end with certainty is the fear of clowns seems here to stay and haunted house owners should take advantage of this fact!

Hang some strings of Halloween lights on your railings or lay them in the bushes. Replace any porch lights with colored bulbs. A black light on your porch shining on some glow-in-the-dark creatures also creates an eerie effect.

Make Halloween Animatronics - Get Started building Your Own absorbing PropsHalloween is coming and your kids are begging you to turn your home into a haunted house. The only qoute is, you don't know where to start. With today's great Halloween decorations, a few black trash bags and a lot of imagination, anyone can create a haunted house to die for. Here are some tips that will help get you there:
Outside
The perceive should begin before your visitors step foot into the house. Start by blacking out your windows. Hang black trash bags on the inside of them. Hang some strings of Halloween lights on your railings or lay them in the bushes. Replace any porch lights with colored bulbs. A black light on your porch shining on some glow-in-the-dark creatures also creates an eerie effect.
If you have a porch, put some fake spider webs in the corners. You can also lay some in the bushes in front of the house. Be sure to hang fake spiders nearby to go with the webs! Black cats and jack-o-lanterns can also add to the ambiance of a haunted house.
Your plain old door won't work - decorate it to look like a coffin. Buy some Styrofoam gravestones to put on your lawn or make them out of spare plywood or lumber and gray paint. Get a recording of scary sounds and scary music and play it.
Inside
Set the tone for your haunted house right as the visitors step into the front door. Take some old pants and an old shirt and stuff them. Top them off with a head made from a bleach bottle and an old hat. Hang the "body" from a nearby light fixture. Place several plastic spiders and fake webs throughout the entryway to keep him company.
Close off rooms that aren't being used. Decorate the doors like coffins or cover with black trash bags. Try to get some crime scene tape and drape over the doors. If you want to add to the horror, place person behind the complete doors and have them jump out periodically and scare your guests.
Place a wide variety of Halloween decorations in corners throughout the house. Buy or make some gruesome props and put them throughout the rooms. Dry ice can create some great fog, but be specific to place it where it can't be touched as it can burn the skin if touched.
Hang things from the ceilings that will brush against your visitors as they walk through the house. Yarn that has been dampened can feel pretty creepy when it brushes against someone's face. If you're using black lights in the house, be sure to use black thread instead of fishing line to hang things. The fishing line will react to black lights.
Create a laboratory by filling bowls with gross-feeling food items that will rehearse body innards. Have person who has a great Dr. Frankenstein voice lead blindfolded visitors through the laboratory, encouraging them to touch the distinct items with their hands. Expect to hear a lot of "Yuk" and "Ooh, gross!"
Once you have your haunted house set up, walk through it as though you were a visitor. Check out the Halloween Decorations and if you are 100% convinced that it is as scary and haunting as you can make it, then relax. It's sure to be a huge success!
How to Make Your House Into a Haunted Mansion For HalloweenLet us cut right to the chase...or right to the screaming as many of the folks on this list would prefer! Not only am I married to a top home haunter, I have been a big fan of horror movies (also called monster movies) for years. In my experience, as a fan of the genre, here are my top ten monsters of all time!
10. Kraken (1981)
From the 1981 Clash of the Titans, this is a mammal that stirs the imagination. Although the Kraken is a mammal of myth, it is the film version that every person remembers. Who could forget the end scene of the original Clash of the Titans where the Kraken comes for Andromeda? (What he wanted her for is not clear to me. Did he plan to eat her? invite her to go for a swim?) At any rate, the Kraken was brought to life by the stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen, a legend in horror and fantasy movies. The image of Perseus turning the Kraken to stone is excellent and so is this multi-armed monster in this writer's opinion.
9. mammal From the Black Lagoon (all versions)
There have been many movies about terrific sea creatures, but mammal From the Black Lagoon is still the best. (Sorry, Jaws!) Released in 1954, it features a monster-like gill-man discovered on an expedition in the Amazon. Like many famed monsters of the silver screen, the mammal spawned sequels. The original mammal of the Black Lagoon movie is being remade for a 2011 release, agreeing to the Imdb Web site.
8. Mummy (Boris Karloff)
Boris Karloff makes his first appearance on our list! The Mummy, directed by Karl Freund, is a 1932 horror film from Universal Studios. It starred Karloff as a revived old Egyptian clergyman called Imhotep. While the movie is not a drop-dead scare fest, it is a excellent that is in the communal memory of our society. When people think of mummies, they invariably think of Karloff shuffling out of his sarcophagus in bandages. The Mummy was semi-remade in The Mummy's Hand (1940) but it was Karloff's version that began the Mummy movies.
7. Michael Myers (all versions)
Michael Myers is the one who started the slasher genre. He first showed up in 1978's Halloween as a young boy who murders his older sister, and then returns home years later to kill again. His fights with Jamie Lee Curtis in the first two Halloween movies are excellent examples of how scary movie chases should work. Although, I think Michael's fights with Donald Pleasence (who played Dr. Loomis) are the best parts of the Halloween films. The only negative aspects to the Halloween movies to me are the continuity issues. For instance, Halloween Iii, although not a bad movie, has nothing to do with the other installments. Also, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later almost ignores established continuity from earlier movies with no explanation.
6. Dracula (Bela Lugosi)
Bela Lugosi was a Hungarian actor, best known for playing Count Dracula in the Broadway play and excellent Universal Studios Dracula films, too. The now excellent Dracula that made Lugosi a star came out in 1931. Although the movie is a puny slow and not as fascinating as other Universal classics, such as the Frankenstein films, Lugosi made the film work. No matter how many vampire movies are made, too, this is the most memorable. Ask anyone who is Dracula and they immediately think of Bela's Dracula. His Dracula is an icon.
5. Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund)
Robert Englund is best known for playing serial killer Freddy Krueger in the horror on Elm road film series. agreeing to Wikipedia, he received a Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for A horror on Elm road 3: Dream Warriors in 1987 and A horror on Elm road 4: The Dream devotee in 1988. I am not surprised. He was excellent as Freddy. The new Freddy cannot hold a candle, or dingy red sweater, to Englund. He approached playing Freddy with a blend of horror and comedy. His witty banter with his victims is the stuff of legend.
4. Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.)
"Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright."
When you talk about werewolves, there is none great than Lon Chaney's Wolfman in the 1941 Universal Studios movie. From the iconic makeup to the gypsy curse, it is Chaney's Wolfman that community knows best, and with good theorize - it is a darn good movie that stands the test of time.
3. Frankenstein's Monster (Boris Karloff)
Do I admittedly have to write that Boris Karloff's portrayal of the Frankenstein Monster is a excellent mammal of the cinema? The crash of thunder, the sizzling laboratory machines, the monster's hand moving-these are the images we all have embedded in our minds. No version of the Frankenstein Monster gets great than Karloff's version from the excellent 1931 horror film.
2. Leatherface (all versions)
Leatherface is the main killer in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror-film series. He wears masks made of his victims' skin (which is where the name Leatherface comes from) and is the character from the movie who usually carries a chainsaw. Not only is Leatherface one of the first slasher-type villains but he is drop-dead scary! While I think all versions of Leatherface are scary as heck, the best Leatherface actors were Gunnar Hansen (from the first Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Bill Johnson (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2). I still think the scene in Massacre 2 when Leatherface runs, chainsaw roaring, out of the darkened radio station toward the lead female actor is horrifying.
1. Jason Voorhees (all versions)
Sure, Kane Hodder has played Jason more than any other actor, but I can't pick one Jason that is great than another. Each actor who played the undead slasher Jason Voorhees brought something new to the role. Jason Voorhees is the killer from the Friday the 13th series. He first appeared in Friday the 13th (1980); although, he was not the main villain in the first movie. Jason is a great character because of the iconic hockey mask, the creepy camp setting, and because you feel some pity for him. He was a deformed child who was mocked by peers and ignored by camp counselors. He also loves his mommy. (Watch the movies and you will see what I mean.) Because he evokes pity in the audience, he is a puny like Frankenstein's Monster but without fail more evil.

10. Kraken (1981)
From the 1981 Clash of the Titans, this is a vertebrate that stirs the imagination. Although the Kraken is a vertebrate of myth, it is the film version that every person remembers.

The image of Perseus turning the Kraken to stone is classic and so is this multi-armed monster in this writer's opinion.
9. vertebrate From the Black Lagoon (all versions)
There have been many movies about dreadful sea creatures, but vertebrate From the Black Lagoon is still the best. (Sorry, Jaws!)

Bela Lugosi was a Hungarian actor, best known for playing Count Dracula in the Broadway play and classic Universal Studios Dracula films, too. The now classic Dracula that made Lugosi a star came out in 1931. Although the movie is a limited slow and not as curious as other Universal classics, such as the Frankenstein films, Lugosi made the film work. No matter how many vampire movies are made, too, this is the most memorable. Ask anyone who is Dracula and they immediately think of Bela's Dracula. His Dracula is an icon.

Do I absolutely have to write that Boris Karloff's portrayal of the Frankenstein Monster is a classic vertebrate of the cinema? The crash of thunder, the sizzling laboratory machines, the monster's hand moving-these are the images we all have embedded in our minds. No version of the Frankenstein Monster gets better than Karloff's version from the classic 1931 nightmare film.
