The Wolfman is the only one of the classic monsters that will bite your face off.  I like that in a monster- Very direct and undeniably effective. The werewolf represents the primal, animal fury within us all- the predator; the sex-machine; the party animal.  Unrestrained, undignified and unclean, one could surely work off a lot of hostility as a werewolf.  It makes me want to strip-down and run off into the night howling at the moon right now! A-A-AWOOOOOOOO!!!!

I know what you're saying: "The mummy's not so tough! All you have to do is sneeze on him and he turns into dust!".  He supposedly has the power of a curse driving him on but can be appeased with a steaming mug of Tannah-leaf tea and some friendly incantations.  The Mummy sneaks up on his victims at about 1/2 MPH and chokes them to death. Oooooo, SCAA-AARY!!!

Dracula is increasingly a vapid gigolo content with disco-dancing the night away with bodacious baronesses and goth chicks. Don't ask him to turn into a bat or green fog anymore, either.  That just embarrasses him.  Rarely the subject of new fiction, Dracula is hopelessly antiquated and about as scary as grandpa's glass eye.

Just like it says in the title

 

 Here is a creature who is an amalgamation of super-charged wrath. He is not just a human monster but a whole cluster of humans (mostly condemned criminals) crudely assembled by a genius corrupted with aspirations to Godhood. He is a powerful symbol for societal angst, abandonment issues, the rampant horrors of technology, and the poignant tragedy of having an abnormal brain.  Try to stay out of his way

All hail Lord Host of Monster Hell!, who holds sway over all the legions of Halloween monsters!...and yet is relegated mostly to small cameos in lame horror films.  And for good reason- Who's afraid of a red dude with horns and a pitchfork in this day and age?

The most contemporary of the Halloween Monsters the Alien seems to be the least menacing owing to it's sorry lack of razor-sharp teeth and claws and generally positive reputation for being civilized far beyond humankind.  But if you ask me it's ALL A CONSPIRACY!  And what's the story with that anal-probe?  ~YOWCH!~
