Ronald McDonald.  He scares the *expletive deleted*it out of me.  Always has.

Preacher has it right. Once you've sat in the same room as a real monster, looked one in the eye, felt the stare knowing that the monster would do unthinkable things to you if he or she could, the movies ain't so scary.  And, yes, that's why, even in court, I carried when I was a prosecutor.  Just in case the monster decided to act...

In the fictional vein, I find myself drawn to the vampires.  not that I want to be one, I just find the whole vampire/goth culture facinating.

What keeps the rest of you up at night?

Aliens and/or ghosts. Especially alien ghosts. Black-eyed, gray skinned, ethereal bastards.

My favorite monster?


Gotta be Sweetums.

The monster I'm afraid of the most?
Clowns.  Espcially half-rotted, zombie clowns.  If I ever have to encounter one (normal, evil clown or undead clown), I demand that I have a Remington SP-10, loaded with 3.5" slugs.

*shudder* Ugh.

Edit: Evil clowns that throw spiders and are armed with circular saws.  At that point, the only gun of any use to me would be an MG-42 with 20,000 rounds of ammo (to make sure they're gone) with a flame thrower nearby.

Edit 2: The only true real-life intelligent enemy I have a fear of, believe it or not, is a sniper.  Never been in combat, and even used to live with one.  Great guy, too.  However, the thought of me walking along, and then dying without the slightest chance of self-defense or warning, greatly worries me.  I wouldn't even have time to get pissed.  No rezzing the Almighty and accusing the sniper of h4x.
