Mythological Creatures

[bloodrayne]

Aren't mythological creatures generally horrifying? Why don't they make horror movies about them? It wouldn't hurt to try since they seem to be running out of ideas...I mean honestly, which would you rather see...another Michael Myers or something completely different?...Like someone conjures up a gracken or chimera...I don't know how it would be done, I'm not a writer, but I sure would like to see it...

Do you guys have any favorite mythological creatures? I've always liked the gorgons...Medusa rocks (pun intended)...

Doesn't have too be from Greek mythology...Could be Nordic...Valkyries are cool too...

Actually, ANY mythological creatures that you prefer...:)

Thanks for "checking in" Avenger...I knew you would...BTW, you gave me this idea when you mentioned "Perseus" in another thread;)...What about the harpies? I like those, too

[Rotting Eye]

No, mythological creatures aren't generally horrifying. Take a class about it - you'll learn a lot.

And there are movies with them already. Say Clash of the Titans, or Jason and the Argonaughts, both great movies. I know they're not horror movies, but it's been done already.

[Dr.Kelvinstein]

Remember Rune Stone and Berserker? Two movies about Nordic myhology (my fave branch) I can think of.

As for other stuff, I guess Hammer's The Gorgon is the best of the mythological monster stuff I've seen.

But vampires, werewolves, etc could also be considered mythological (maybe even with roots in Classical Mythology, with Lilith and Lycurgus).

In my humble opinion even slashers could be considered modern mythology. They did evolve from boys telling stories over a fire at summer camp, and slumber-partying little girls telling tales of the guy hiding in the attic.

[crazy clown]

i like minotaurs myself.

Thank you for your response, but as you pointed out...They are not horror movies...My question was...Why don't they make a horror movie with a mythological creature or creatures? If it is done well, they can be quite horrifying:)

Damned good point...I sort of expected Avenger to make it

Yeah, just see Q the Winged Serpent. I love the part where blood and body parts are raining down upon the crowd and yet no one can see the flying monstrosity overhead.

[Dr.Kelvinstein]

See Land of the Minotaur with Peter Cushing for a Minotaur-based horror movie. It's not that bad. There's also a sword-and-sandal movie simply called Minotaur. And The Minotaur (along with Theseus) makes an appearance in Gilliam's time Bandits.

Both Anchor Bay and Blue Underground have put it out on DVD. It's from Larry Cohen (The Stuff, It's Alive) so it's a bit heavy on the cheese.

Unintended cheese is usually a good thing, especially when David Carradine supplies it.

[crazy clown]

i didn't kno that there were so many minotaurs movies out there. looks like i have some shopping to do.

[Haunted]

What is this? Y'all seem to think that the only mythological creatures are from ancient Hellas (a.k.a Greece).

What about Leprechaun? That's a fairy (or faery), right. There are some terrific western European mythological types. 'Rayne mentioned the Valkyries (I have an interesting story about the Civil War that concerns Valkyries). Faeries are not always beautiful winged women. Take the kelpie, for example. It's a "horse" faery that eats little kids.

Shit, until just recently, people thought that witches were mythological beings.

How about those dragons, though. Am I right? Who can resist them? They appear in every culture. Avenger, I understand the winged serpent. Very awesome.

Oh yeah, and the Native Americans have some really cool myths. The Windego, as you all know, is one of the oldest and scariest. There's also the famouse Coyote, but He's more of a deity type...depending on your perspective.

[avenger00soul]

Did anyone see that Beowulf movie starring Christopher Lambert a few years back? I didn't.

Speaking of dragons, did anyone like Reign of Fire? I feel like I'm going to be in the minority on this one.

[MythMan84]

Sorryt bout it Blood but i'm pretty sure that it's "kraken" from you firsts post on here and personally i'd like to see another God movie. Or some ones with other creatures, scylla, harpies....etc.
Like one with meduas they could prolly make some scary shit wit that

[MythMan84]

I personally like Beowulf and Reign of Fire, I liked them both alot. I've seen them both quite a few times.

[fluffho]

mtv had a show... forgot what its called. where they went to haunted places


they were in a mine shaft, and the creature was of a mexican fable.

had a cool name to it.

people would leave it chickens as offerings

That could definitely be "interesting" if done well...It would have to be better than "Darkness Falls":)

[MythMan84]

fluffho it is the cupacabra, it is a creepy little animal that sucks the vital organs out of chickens and goats. Some people have found actual evidence of it and it has been on the news. And just to add to it i'm goin to Puerto rico and while i'm ther i'll take a search for it

[fluffho]

EL CHUPACABRA!!

but u beat me to it.. GRRRR

I kinda liked it. However, I love dragons, and one of the most traumatic movie moments for me was the death of Smaug in the cartoon The Hobbit.

[MythMan84]

Hey blood, based on past experiences wiht your posts i'm guessing that you have read THE ILLIAD and or THE ODDESEY. I bet you could pull a good amount of creepy movei ideas out of that.

[Killer Clown#1]

A Medusa movie would rule:) (the roller coaster was awsome). I have always had a good vision for when the people would turn into stone. Their eyes would start bleeding,then they would start screaming but their throat would turn into stone and crack, then their whole body would sucum to the stone.

[swiftdeath]

Gorgons, griffins, and dragons.

[MythMan84]

the three pimpinest creatures to ever roam the earth

[Sam The Egg]

there's a legend that originates not too far from me (Alton, IL) called the Piasa Bird.
http://www.altonweb.com/history/piasabird/

[MythMan84]

kewl sound kinda kreepy worth goin to illinois now

[Sam The Egg]

no...it's still not worth it to go to Illinois

[crazy clown]

around my neck of the woods theres a thing called tallie pole. its in the mountains of north carolina tho and i'm close to the beach, so its a little ways away from me.

medusa is a kick ass coaster!!!!!! a medusa movie would b pretty kool. mayb show her in a different way then in films like clash of the titans and really go in to her story. like how the gods punished her and stuff. other mythical creatures that could make for kool movies are the pheonix, griffins, hydra believe me i have more but too many to think off. paranormal and mythology is my strong points. read alot about it in school in my free time now i am lil rusty cuz its been a while like 5 yrs

[MythMan84]

Hey blood you seem alot like me. But in clash of the titans they gave her a tail which isnt how she really looked

[bloodygurl02]

Originally posted by MythMan84

yeah she seams more human then half serpant. i love that movie btw. if u wanna talk more on mythoulogy mythman then pm

[Sam The Egg]

Clash of the Titans would have been a good movie if they hadn't gotten all of the mythology wrong

[MythMan84]

it was still a good movie but ya they did kinda mess with it like the kraken is actaully a squid, medusa dont got a tail....etc

[bloodygurl02]

Originally posted by Sam The Egg

i agree w/ u a little on that one sam cuz different versions of the stories show them differently like in one story say medusa may have a tail and in another story she won't. but i get what your saying. just that sometimes they change things in the stories. i hope you understodd what i am trying to get at

[Evisceration]

Didn't they used to make old black and white movies of mythological creatures back in the day?

Or maybe the just made one....I can't remember. I don't even know what it was called.

[Sam The Egg]

i hope you understodd what i am trying to get at
You're trying to get...at...my LUCKY CHARMS OMGWTF GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FUCKING KIDS!!!! *runs away*

i also would like to add that this is a great thread bloodrayne

[MythMan84]

No offense o great gaurdian of the lucky charms but your startin to scare me

[Evisceration]

Freddy Krueger was loosely based off of a mythological creature called an Incubus.

[MythMan84]

yo have you ever seen a pic of an incubus now that is some crazy shit

[bloodygurl02]

isn't there a horror movie based on the female counterpart whuich is a sucubus?? could have swore i saw a movie w/ that title. those things from waht i have read r not pleasent. but your right about freddy i heard the same thing about it

[Sam The Egg]

Isn't Incubus some lame band. Too bad people have to go and ruin perfectly good words like that.

[bloodygurl02]

Originally posted by MythMan84

yes but i heard stories of actual encounters of a sucubus/ incubus. they r sexually driven demons and thrive on things like sexual energy and lust. they ahd a segment on sightitngs aand i did a lil researching of my own on the web to find out more about them

[Evisceration]

lol....teh monkey.

[MythMan84]

Yeah speaking of Incubus the crapy band, does anyone wanna help wme come up with a cool name for mine? please pm me if you have a good one at the moment we are Landfill

[juanhacko]

Congradulations, Avenger!
CENTAURS and SATYRS might be fun.

[mictlan]

I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this... but supposedly there is a Malaysian vampire called a Penaggalan. It's always female, and when it hunts at night its head separates from the body and flies around... dragging the internal organs along with it. Bet it's just beautiful...

I've heard that this Penaggalans are pretty common in Malaysian horror films. Anyone ever seen one of these films?

I've never heard of that. We have a lot of really weird folklord running around in North Carolina. The Devil visits here quite frequently, if you'll believe the legends. Of course, to me, that's about as ridiculous as telling me Elvis still hangs in Vegas. However, it passes the time. Perhaps there IS some negative entity that shows up.....who knows.

[Haunted]

I fucked up... nevermind. The coffee hasn't had time to stimulate my brain.

Avenger, if you could delete this waste of space accidental post that won't go away, I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll end up cringing with embarassment everytime I see this. Thank you.

[deckard66]

I only know about mythological creatures from Heroes of Might and Magic.. so thanx video games! lol
hahah but one of my favourite creatures would have to be... hmm.. Unicorns! ahhahaha no prally like umm.. Gorgons or Centaurs! or troglodytes!

[buddy]

banshee might be good for a movie, rural western ireland as a setting.. lots of 'whoooooooing' over the hill there.

also someone should remake the 12 labors of hercules, or was it 10.. with the cgi these days, they might do a badass hydra and river diverting

[Dr.Kelvinstein]

Did I see Goya's Nightmare referenced on the board? WTF?

I mentioned Nordic mythology earlier (Rune Stone, Berserker), but just remembered 13th Warrior. It's a great retelling of Beowulf, and Vladimir Kulich as Beowulf is very cool.

Also....Mirimax solicited Neil Gaiman to do a straight Beowulf script, and he might even direct. Now that would be COOL!!!!!!!

The Lambert Beowulf was cheesy in a good way. I saw a animated Beo on HBO Family that was very cool. The sword he uses to kill Grendel's mother has a hilt in the form of a Thor's hammer pendant. Groovy.

And the Seamus Heanley translation of Beowulf is just flat out beautiful whether it ever makes it to fim or not!!!!

[Vodstok]

Probably on topic for the main post:

I actually have a series of short-stories i was writing (x-filesy type about cryptozoology) where the focus of each story was a creature from various mythologies that i would "justify" scientifically.

The first story in the series was based on a cross between the "redcap" from english(?) folklore and the OwlMen that were supposedly seen around an old church in southern England.

Others i had plots for:
Kraken
Ahuizotl
Doppleganger
Sea Serpents
Ghouls
Rusalki

All of them had ties to their mythological roots, but were explained intelligently as a part of their ecology, and were all done with a horror bent.

the main charcters were the same in each story, one of the being the brother of this guy. (click me) (http://vodstok.net/scare/lit/bearwood.asp)

[fluffho]

when iwas little, like 7 my babysitter and her daughter (like a grandma and grandaughter, gradaughter being like 30) were watcing some asian horror movie.

the movie was called Aswang. in the houses here we dont see the roof from the inside, we have nice drywall. well the family in this movie was kidna poor, so u can see all the bannisters or beams supporting the roof. so the lady, who si pregnant, is sleeping in bed

so aswang, lwho looks like an old woman, is on top of one of the beams. so she opens her mouth and this long nasty tongue comes out. so u see her put her tongue in her belly, the lady gasps. then it cuts. then the next morning her sister comes in and she screams. her belly is all flat and everything was sucked out

man, i was gonna go to the philipines the next month to visit family and i cried so much. then turned out my family was rich as hell and they have nice dry walled ceilings like here so all was well with the world

[Evisceration]

lol...Ass Wang....

Anyway, that actually sounds like a good movie. I should check it out sometime.

And The Odyssey, although not a horror, still had mythical creatures in it....

[Vodstok]

Wow, that is fucked up... Poor kid...

[fluffho]

haha. yes i slept with the light on until one night i ran into my parents room screaming.

well i dunno where ud find it. only thing i do nkow is there were no captions

thers another asian movie with some nasty vase where some gremlin lives in it but i dunno bout that one

[fluffho]

or how about thsi one? not exactly a mythological creature, but myth none the less.

read it in one of those books that are supposed to be real. well when i got to the killer trees i figured it wasnt, but then again africa has some pretty wild jungles..

anyway this is one that gave me nightmares for quite some time. the same reason why i have no mirrors in my room. actually, for a few years i forgot about this thing. so in therapy (yes therapy) i brought up my fear of mirrors, then i remmeberred this oh my god i started balling. bowling? well that was bad. .. im a pussy

well im not sure how well of a movie u can make but ok here goes.

its in a motel or something. so some guy walks in, and hes like yeh i need a room. so the owner tells him 'we on ly have 1 room left' brings him up. then tells him 'ummm, make sure u only sleep on the right side of the bed'

so hes like 'wtf' but hes like ok whatever

so i guess the bed is on a wall, and on that wall there is a mirror. so he sleeps on the right side.

hes facing the mirror, and for whatever reason wakes up. he sees some dude come in through the door, ((ghost type dude), go to the left side of the bed (the one hes not on) and starts making like a strangling motion. u know, at the pillow, puts his hands down and starts yeh...

so the dudes lke 'wtf' so ok hes like ehh im dreaming.

so i duno i guess his brother comes down. so hes like uhhh ok 'u sleep on the left side'

so blah blah dont remmeber if he looks in the mirror that night

but the next morning his brother is strangled

....? SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME, that was in 9th grade. now i am a sophomore college and it still messed me up. but i think it was the the fact that it had scared me so much that messes me up, and not the story itself. anyways ive told this story twice since (speaking) and i cried both times..... ... i dont nkow why either!

[Evisceration]

Wow, that's freaky as hell.

I kind of have a phobia of mirrors, well only at night. It's hard to explain but whatever.

[fluffho]

i have a hella fear

it was at night and i was in the bathroom dancing and my hand flicked the light switch and i SCREAMED

And not that crappy "it's really a lost neanderthal" Jersey Devil from the x-files either. We're talkin' winged horsey lookin thing. I like weird :)

damn.. what if heaney wrote an epic series of zombie sonnets..!

his 'station island' is also remarkable, a pilgrimage he makes to an island in the middle of a lake, where he meets the ghost of james joyce at the very end. it's raining (of course), but the rain arcs away from joyce's shoulders before it touches him. awesome! :D

[predfan]

how bout evil brownies i think theyre called redcaps, i guess itd be similar to the leprechaun but ... different
hydras would be nice
hippogriffs would be great for a really cheesy horror movie, im not sure if these are mytholigcal or just fantasy
and lets not forget dragons
giants
and six-armed statues of doom
and nagas

[otis]

gremlins was done, they fall into this category right. They could make a better one, i like the ones they have, but a more horror film would be cool.

THe mexican goat eating thing, el chica-something, is a cool animal, but i don't know how that would work as a movie.

[Vodstok]

el chupacabra? (goat sucker)

That has grade b movie written ALLLL over it.

[otis]

explain, i just don't think it would work because goat sucker(sorry i really can't spell or remember how to spell his name) hasn't killed any humans yet, and maybe it would work. Tell me your thoughts.

How about pygmy men? you know that tribe in the amazon or something.

[Vodstok]

Bats have never killed anyone but thta didnt stop them from making a movie about it.

Pygmies would make an awesome movie though.

[avenger00soul]

[Vodstok]

That was acool episode, although it was typical of x-files reaching to draw a parallel between real life legends and their ideas.

Just like the moth man and jersey devil episodes, which were good, but had jack-shit to do with their original legends.
