Enter: SF&F Avatar Contest: Dreadful!

the theme for this contest will be all things horrific and dreadful. interpret that as you will. could be Universal Monsters, or any of the Hammer Horror films. Freddy or Jason. the Predator, Xenomorph...you get the idea. anything frightening.

usual contest rules apply. contest will be open for one week. good luck!

 

History's scariest laugh...

 

eta: Oh wait. Not sure if Psycho counts, as it's not really scifi. Fantasy maybe but that might be a stretch.


If not, I'll go with this, instead. Gave me chills first time I saw Nosferatu.

 

^^if it's any consolation, it took a supreme effort of will for me not to enter Jar-Jar...

 

Psycho is fine for this contest.

 

How about something that is Penny Dreadful?

 

nice. that show was the impetus for this contest.

 

OK, cool. Psycho it is, then.

 

I'm not going with a movie or TV character, but one from Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos, The Shrike:

 

Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street film series

 

Red Skull from Captain America: The First Avenger

 

^^Despite your preferences, the LP is neither SF nor F...

 

Oh right...lol. I didn't really know what it meant, I just blundered in a posted the first thing I thought of when I read dreadful.

Okay, here's a creepy alien who comes from a strange place no one else has come back from.....alive.

 

^It's got to be 150x150 pixels.

Hope this one is not too dreadful.
