My personal favorite are the zombies. I like them as they are a real danger, they will eat your brains, but some proper planning pretty much brings the threat level to a reasonable level. I of course am speaking of the classic zombies ala Night of the Living Dead. Zombies do not run! I often times will pass time in idle conversation concerning zombie attack escape plans. Zombie prep is much more laborious as I'm now in the city.
Perhaps the greatest part of the zombie mythos is its easy adaptability to parable form. Great way to address deeper underlying sociological concerns. Altho the werewolf is great for that too.

I laughed my ass off when the "Exorcist". came out.
I really never was "scared" even as little boy. First time someone snuck up on me in sheet, and went "boo" I kicked them in the nuts. This was not even Halloween and mean bigger kids were picking on me. My Uncle just laughed.
Only time I ever got scared at the movies, was "Jaws". Same girlfriend I went to so the "Exorcist" with. She laughed too.
"Jaws", well we were fooling around as folks did in Theatres back them, let loose from a lip-lock in time to see that head come rolling out and we jumped. We were caught off guard.
"Cujo" ? Nope done been in a situation having to shoot a rabid dog. Name any of the scary movies, I laugh. I still laugh hardest at the Devil and Demons .
Yeah I still get a tear when Old Yeller dies ...

Skunk Ape: this can be EASILY arranged. Did you want those with holy symbols, or as hollow points? If you're willing to pay for casting and materials, I'll do the waxes!

Go advertise this on THR and TFL charge a little bit of profit margin and my money says you will have more business than you can shake a stick at.

MY favorite monster was the one in a little movie called "Terrorvision". First he would pop up on the TV behind a person so they couldn't see him, then he would magically appear IN THE ROOM!! THEN he would latch on to you and apparently injected you with something that made you dissolve into a puddle on the floor then his moplike tongue would flop out and sop you up. LOL...
First runner up WOULD be Godzilla though.

Oh, favorite not most bothersome. For a favorite I'll go with the conversational Smaug lounging on his treasure.

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.

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.
