Sorry guys but I've seen worse than angels with six wings or whatever. The way I look at it the scariest angel is the one that doesn't look like what they're actually described but more like just a regular human. To me an angel that appears as something that puts you in your comfort zone is more scary

Hey, to each their own.

That said, the video I posted? That's the Archangel of the Fear Mythos.
Long story short, it IS the Afterlife.
And it's still not as creepy as Slendy.

Also, in Supernatural, correct me if I'm wrong, but the angels posses human hosts right? IIRC, they have to hide their true forms and such lest they break your mind.

Kind of like Zeus.

Wait...

Hehehe, Lovecraftian Entities anyone?

As for me: Anything that appears as a "Comfort zone" does not scary me. it is the universal "TRUTH BEHIND THE MASK" that I find creepy/scary.

As for something that I do not find scary?

Zombies.
Zombies are not scary.
They are slow moving shambling drooling corpses and yet in every dang zombie apocalypse, the military just magically vanishes and everyone becomes complete idiots. Yes, I know it's horror, but still. Zombies aren't super strong, they are slow rotting corpses that you should be able to smell coming a mile away...and yet in ever series, they only kill people by teleporting out of nowhere (Walking Dead) or people being idiots (Walking Dead and others.)
Now, they've tried making them bigger and better with the running rage zombies or the ganado people from RE4, but well...
Running Zombies: 28 Weeks Later. That is all.
Ganados: Leon S. Kennedy. Now, give them chainsaws.....

And in case you're wondering about Jason Voorhees...

That is why I liked Shaun of The Dead. They handled it the smart way. Comedy aside of course.

To me. Eight faced six winged angels. They're like the equivalent of those monsters from the old school giant monster movies. Sure they're nice to look at but they don't give me any sleepless nights. It may be because I've seen every monster movie and read every supernatural story there is and I've been desensitized of it but I just don't find what makes it so obvious looking scary. Lets put it to example. Norman Bates vs Hannibal Lecter. Now before the obvious reveal Norman Bates was just a regular, if quirky, guy that nobody would suspect would kill a person. Hannibal Lecter, as Nostalgia Critic put it, looked like someone that came off of a Bond movie. Was Hannibal amazing? Yes. Was he creepy? No. Also what made the ending of Psycho more memorable was the hidden message was that if a regular guy like Norman Bates is capable of killing someone then what does that say about the rest of humanity? That kind of hidden message is what makes Hitchcock's work so legendary.

I had a friend who watch Zombie movies and running zombies first appear in Return of the living dead . now what makes Return of the Living dead 1 and 2 zombies different is that they keep all the intelligent as they had in their previous lives. they were fast, head shots do not kill them and not short short of incineration or electrocution with extreme high voltage ( second movie ) would destroyed them. in the first movie the the military had nuke the city the zombies were in just to get rid of them.

Return of the Living Dead zombies = smart, fast , nearly indestructible zombies.

The worst ones are in Brian Keane's work.


They were zombie humans AND animals. And the only way not to be a zombie was dying of brain injury.

AND the source? Demonic possession. YES, Demonic possession. Demons who take over the dead and with their smarts. Well, that series only had two books in the storyline, because in the end all humans and *Animals* minus bugs were DEAD.

And they were SMART. They USE GUNS.

Did somebody say....incineration?

yes incineration, but to be fair the first two Return of the living dead movies were horror comedies. and incineration is the worst possible way to kill them cause it would just send more toxin into the air that would inturn make more zombies. the movies after the first two went down hill and made the zombies weaker. and this gas spreading was the only way a person could turn into a zombie and they had to be dead the toxin didn't infected the living.

so if a person were to incinerated these zombies they should make sure their doing it in a seal air tight room were gas can't escaped in to the atmosphere.

Name: Angel Enigma

Appearance:



Bio: A little revamp when compared to how you saw her before. In this one she's more of an urban legend type of character, pretty much a shadow archtype of Gryphon but with a cruler sense of justice. Like Gryphon she rarely shows herself among the public but earned quite a boogeyman type reputation from eyewitnesses. The majority regard her as a powerful yet psychotic meta while others regard her as an actual angel

Also, her alternate form.

Name: Matthew Maximilian
Appearance:
Bio: Coming Soon.

Thanks

Once her arc is done with I'm considering giving her own spin off. I have an idea that could lead to that. OTOH I wonder if a spin off will take away her mystery aura. I could take a Doctor approach by just having her have otherworldly adventures while still keeping the mystery about her.

That could work.

Superhero Name: Stronghold
Appearance:
Costume:
Bio: The son of the world famous heavyweight boxer Oliver 'The Killer' Maximilian, Matthew has it pretty good. He is a popular student at Exodus High with a promising career in both Football and Boxing. He is best friends with Hank and Flannery. He also makes a point to protect the weaker students from bullies, to the point where he can stop conflicts just by showing up.

When he does get his powers, it's from a meteor of all things, granting him superhuman strength and durability, which will grow as time goes on.
