This contest has ended. We’ll notify the winners shortly.
Try to follow my logic here.
They say that you can’t get too much of a good thing. Mel Brooks is hilarious. Hilariousness is a good thing.
Therefore, Mel Brooks equals a good thing. Still with me? Cool.
Monty Python’s Spamalot was here recently. Young Frankenstein will make the second Mel Brooks related production to come to Walton Arts Center in the last few weeks when they arrive in town next week.
Therefore, if you can’t get enough of a good thing, and hilariousness is a good thing, and Mel Brooks is hilarious, and given that Young Frankenstein was adapted from a Mel Brooks movie, adapted from a Mel Brooks book, (which equals a lot of Mel Brooks when you think about it) the performance of Young Frankenstein at Walton Arts Center is at least triple (I lost track) a good thing, which is, in turn, good? I lost my train of thought.
Whatever. We have two pairs of tickets to give away to the Dec. 14 performance of Young Frankenstein.
Catch my drift?
How to enter
Most people are kind of over Halloween by now, which makes perfect sense because it’s almost Christmas.
Regardless, though, zombies, vampires, and other monsters are crazy popular right now (Hello, the Walking Dead), and monsters rule in general.
Leave a comment naming your favorite classic movie monster (vampires, mummies, zombies, werewolves, etc) and you’re entered.

I’ve always been a vampire kind of guy.
Werewolf?
Oh, I want to go! Pick me! I like werewolves, but I would enjoy Young Frankenstein too!
zombies!
I like the slow, lumbering zombies.
Swamp Thing!
Mummies. Like Zombies but w/o the evisceration. Plus you can spin ‘em like a top.
@Brian: “There! Wolf!”
the triffid.
Zombies!
vampires
I am a Zombie kind of gal! Getting to go see Young Frankenstein would ROCK!!!! =) I love the movie!!!
I can’t win, but I’ve always found the Stay Puff Marshmallow man absolutely terrifying.
Vampires – but not the new teenage ones. The classics.
Werewolves (the kind from London especially!!)
Zombies!
Count Dracula! specificaly from Dracula (1931)
I’m all about the vampires…but the crazy big plant from the little shop of horrors might win it for me…
It would have to be those creepy demonic toys!
I was always fond of the Gremlins…gotta like monsters with an 80′s sense of humor!
vampires
Zombies!
The demon/Regan from The Exorcist
Monster Squad! You get a little bit of everything!
Thank you for remembering Monster Squad. No one I talk to ever knows about Monster Squad.
WOLFMAN DON’T HAVE NARDS
The Alien in the Aliens series!
Body-Snatchers. Pod-people. Whatever you want to call them. Truly scary because one can’t determine who is and who isn’t.
Harry from Harry and the Henderson’s
Zombies
I don’t know if Pinhead qualifies as classic, but he’s who comes to mind.
The two little girls in The Shining scared the crap outta me.
As a child, the lollipop man in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Now, zombies in 28 days later.
Any monster that looks obviously like a man in a monster costume.
Who can choose?!?
I’m a diehard zombie fanatic, but let’s not forget the often overlooked creepiness of The Creature From The Black Lagoon.
And nothing scared me more as a child than Large Marge from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.
John Carpenter’s The Thing
The mummy. He always gets the target of his curse and anyone who gets in his way except for the great encino man
Zombies…. mmmm Braaaains!!
Zombies!
Zombies!!!!!! Braaaaaaains!
I’ve always been a vamp fan.. before Twilight, mind you.
Vampires for me! (:
I really like werewolves, but that is just me.

Vegetarian zombies. They crave graaaaains!
What about Count Chocula?
ZOMBIES! (they want to eat your brains)
Vampires!!
Flesh-eating zombies!

@Wendy – If Pinhead doesn’t qualify then this contest is a farce. A farce I tell you!
I’ll go with “ugly skank” zombies only because The Walking Dead has totally infected my tasty brain.
The weird twin that was kept in the basket in the movie Basket Case (1982); The mad scientist and the re-animated severed head from The Re-animator (1985); But my all time favorite is the scary thing from HP Lovecraft’s The Unnamable (1988).
We were raised on this stuff.
Umm….yes, YES and yes! I freakin’ love this guy.
Creature from the Black Lagoon!
I’m a Barnabas Collins kind of girl!
Zombie movies are the best
Vampires, Kiefer Sutherland – Lost Boys WOOT!
Dr. Horrible! But othewise zombies :P
Government officials are some of the scariest things.
Mel Brooks should be King!
No one has mentioned the Critters yet!?! What gives? And BTW, I wore out my Monster Squad VHS as a kid. “What makes Fat Kid so fat? Fat Kid?” “My name’s Horace.” Then later on he shotguns the Mer Man, as Bill & Ted would say, “It was most triumphant!”
Zoooommbiiiess
Zombies… with Frankenstein being a close second – afterall, he had really big bolts, and you know what they say about guys with big bolts!
Frankenstein… and the Wolfman… and Dracula. Definitely old school.
Dr. Frankentein’s creation, the monster! …..it’s alive!
linda blair will forever haunt my dreams. scariest monster ever.
