Of all of the monsters and frightening things to be translated out of the mirrors, which scares you the most?

For me, it would have to be the carnivorous cockroaches! Yuck!!!!!!!!! 8O 8O

I've seen them on our Earth, but they were singing "I'm luven it" and absorbing Big Macs and fries though their skin! :mrgreen:

Out of the hut beyond the meeting hall came a little boy. She thought he was a little boy, oddly naked. A grin split his face, leaving a wide, empty place. He didn't leave the shadows; because of the dim illumination, a moment passed before she noticed that he had a chicken in his hands.
The chicken was melting. It slumped over his fingers like heated wax. But none of it dripped to the ground. Instead, as it oozed it was absorbed into his flesh.
Now she realized that his whole body was covered with slime. Maybe the shadows were playing tricks on her eyes. The boy looked green---

*shudders* Yes, those ghouls were creppy. i think it was because they were so knowingly evil, and yet looked like children. Yuck. :?

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

Yeah, the ghouls. They were the most 'alien', and the fact that they looked like children (or similar) was definitely creepy.

The carnivorous cockroaches were the most repulsive to me, by far! 8O
