You should make a thread about that so we can all see it.

I agree!

Thanks .. I believe in being myself and don't worry about being conventional.

I know this is just a "fun" list but what really defines a monster? Serial killers ARE monsters in their own right but what about creatures from the sea , mutant bugs ,alien life forms ,giant apes (King Kong/Mighty Joe Young). What about the Hunchback? He seemed more like a tragic figure than anything.Is everything considered a monster because it is different and repulsive in our eyes or is it more than that?  Don't want to steer the thread off course but...?

I think we should each just continue to define our own monsters. That way the Giant Claw can make one list, the Hunchback of Notre Dame can make another, and the Wingback of Texas Christian can make a third.

Monsters are freaks...outliers.  Tragic in their own right most of the time.

For some reason, I find it hard to group serial killers along with misunderstood nomads like Kong or the Frankenstein's monster, or even predatory animal life.  Someone in my family was a victim of a very famous serial killer so I think anyone who chooses to commit evil acts is something much lower than a monster and does not belong on a list like this which is designed purely for the sake of fun.  As the creator of this thread, I'd appreciate it if no one placed any real life serial killers on this list, but it's a free country

The term monster is very broad. Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Chucky are just as much monsters as Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Invisible Man. I love basically each and ever horror/sci-fi monster ever from Nosferatu through Cloverfield and EVERYTHING in between. I just love creatures and monsters.
Listen to them. Children of the Night. What music they make!

The Wolfman, Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula.  Someone mentioned the Cloverfield Creature, He was cool. >:D

I'm not gonna be able to answer this question with 10 much less 3. There just way too many and too many varieties and different era's as well.
