31 Days of Halloween: Monster of the Day

[packerbacker180]

I have heard of that one.

For today's Monster of the Day I thought we would go to a land down under...



Yep, that's where women glow and men plunder, and where a creepy little red toothless vampire jumps out of trees and sucks your blood. Blah blah blah.



Yara Ma Yha Who is a blood-sucking creature from aboriginal folklore that lurks in the treetops until a person walks under it. Then it would leap from the tree onto the person, suck almost all its blood, and swallow them whole. After swallowing the poor soul, it would regurgitate the person up, take a drink of water and nap, then wake up to puke the person out over and over. As it does this, he/she will become shorter and redder each time until they themselves become a Yara Ma Yha Who.





Its method of attack is clever and scores it unlucky humans. It drops down from trees, usually fig trees, onto the person, then grabs the human's arm and uses the suckers on its fingers to suck up the blood before running away. It later returns and eats the victim whole and vomits it out for an easy meal the next time. Eventually after the Yara a a who has stopped this revolting process, the victim will have turned into one of the creatures itself.





That's not a yara-ma-yha-who, that's just Hillary Clinton with a sunburn.



Still, drinking human blood couldn't taste any worse than a vegemite sandwich.

That's good. I knew nothing of that one

Dragons & unknown water creatures, just a few videos that's unreal and makes you question what heck are they





I believe that this is an unknown specie of Whale, it has a blow hole and flat tail like one but the head is quite different

With so much of the underwater world unexplored, and similar creatures being spotted in lakes around the world, it makes you wonder.

Today's Monster of the Day takes us south for the Wampus Cat!



Cherokee folklore offers a few perspectives on the Wampus cat. One legend tells of Running Deer, a Cherokee woman who wanted to take down the evil spirit Ew'ah, known as the Spirit of Madness. Running Deer wanted revenge, for she believed the spirit was responsible for driving her husband, Standing Bear, to madness. Equipped with a booger mask and the spirit of a mountain cat, she surprised and defeated the spirit, becoming the tribe's Spirit-Talker and Home-Protector. Some believe that Running Deer's spirit resides within the Wampus cat, guarding the Cherokee lands against dark forces hidden in the depths of Tanasi. According to another legend, the creature was once a woman who spied on a sacred ceremony by hiding beneath the pelt of a mountain lion. A medicine man punished the woman by transforming her into a fearsome feline entity: the Wampus cat.



Some historic accounts also lend weight to the existence of the Wampus cat. The Greeneville Sun reported December 17, 1918, "A 'Wampus' is reportedly roaming the big ridge in the vicinity of Gethsemane." The newspaper went on to say that sightings and rumors of the Wampus cat have persisted for generations, further fueling the intrigue and tall tales surrounding the beast. Years later, the creature made headlines again when it was blamed for a string of livestock deaths. Newspapers reported that the elusive monster had consumed dogs, pigs and other animals in the Norfolk area. They speculated that the Wampus might belong to a species long believed to be extinct.



Eyewitnesses describe the Wampus cat as a large and fearsome creature with a bobcat's face, often portrayed as a cross between a cat and a human, with sharp, elongated claws and fangs. Its most distinctive feature is its glowing, yellow eyes that supposedly pierce through the darkness of the night as it roams the Appalachian Mountains. Eyewitnesses have reported seeing a creature with a muscular, feline body covered in dark, matted fur, accompanied by a long, sinuous tail that aids in its balance and agility. Some accounts assert that the creature has six legs and is more of a half-cat, half-dog hybrid.

Yes it sure does. There's the fascination about the universe but I'm like why are they wnating to go to other planets when most of the ocean is undiscovered as its a whole new world down there I believe that there's many cave systems that is possibly connected to Hollow Earth with a ton of unknown animals and these Cryptids know how to navigate them like humans know how to do a highway or subway and that's why their popping up here and there and why some of them of them look a like yet are thousands of miles apart

Yes, I know the Wampus Cat, I wouldn't want to encounter it, that's way worse than a Mountain Lion/Cougar

Today's monster of the day is kinda continuing the underwater scenario, it's none other than the Mysterious BLOOP SOUND






I still personally believe that this INDEED a creature of unknown origin and NOT some iceberg quake and it's huge, possibly even bigger than the Blue Whale. Ever since I first knew about this a long time ago I always thought it was the size of Godzilla or some type of Kaiju. The ocean is big enough to house ginormous animals I know that for sure

[AcidDragon]

Wow, you guys are really pulling out the obscure monsters! I love it!

[BrandonDaCollector]

Acid, I'm always for the obscure

So here's a movie monster that is hardly mentioned, one that I was in awe about...it's a Star Wars creature and it's an Exogorth Space Slug named Sy-O



When I first saw this in My youngster days I couldn't believe it. Still it's a pretty incredible creature

Here's the anatomy of a Space Slug. Notice the Mynocks are with it. Remember, Mynocks are parasitic creatures, when they're around that means that they are feeding on either wires & electronics of starships or the flesh & organs of other living organisms The species are actually sentient and within their bodies is an ecosystem that they allow other species to make their home. It sounds really far out but they are like a living environment, even a planet of their own. These are some of the biggest creatures ever known to exist in the universe which them being over 900 meters long, that's about 3000 feet in length and even take down & eat Imperial Star Destroyers They live for countless years into the billions thus making them some of the old life forms in existence Now the thing is Sy-O was only a couple billion years old and is considered young for a Space Slug in the Hoth Asteroid Belt

While The ginormous monster has been feature in other media, he was only featured in one scene in one film but IMO it's one of the most memorable and one of the scenes that made Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back seem like a horror film just for a few short moments Here's the iconic scene of the The Space Slug that is thought to be a Cave



Look at that, his teeth are the size of the ship

As a bonus here's Robot Chicken's continuation of after the Millennium Falcon escaped

Spaaaace Slugs!

So my son was at a birthday party at a community center today, and several of the boys went to use the restroom and I was standing in the hallway and you could hear them in there, and then one of them shouted something three times so I thought we would make that today's Monster of the Day....



Historically, the divination ritual encouraged young women to walk up a flight of stairs backward holding a candle and a hand mirror, in a darkened house. As they gazed into the mirror, they were supposed to be able to catch a view of their future husband's face.[1] There was, however, a chance that they would see a skull (or the face of the Grim Reaper) instead, indicating that they were going to die before they would have the chance to marry.



In the ritual of today, Bloody Mary allegedly appears to individuals or groups who ritualistically invoke her name in an act of catoptromancy. This is done by repeatedly chanting her name into a mirror placed in a dimly lit or candle-lit room. The name must be uttered 13 times (or some other specified number of times). The Bloody Mary apparition allegedly appears as a corpse, witch, ghost that can be friendly or evil or a demonic spirit and is sometimes seen covered in blood (hence the name). The lore surrounding the ritual states that participants may endure the apparition screaming at them, cursing them, strangling them, stealing their soul, drinking their blood, or scratching their eyes out. Some variations of the ritual call Bloody Mary by a different name—"Hell Mary" and "Mary Worth" are popular examples. The modern legend of Hanako-san in Japan strongly parallels the Bloody Mary mythology.

I have never done that, even when I was a youngster I wouldn't do that and never will. Same thing with Candy Man and Beetlejuice

Today's a big one...The Mystery Flesh Pit National Park in Texas.

It was discovered in the 1970s by the Anodyne corporation during their mining dig. I know they say it's fiction and all that jazz but I don't buy it, not for one second. It's nothing but a darn cover up of the truth for all of those mysterious deaths that happen in 2007. I have also read that many people have experienced this and it is indeed real. You decide.

Here's this promo video!



Very interesting



Here's this video.



The Fauna



A a long video but of a ton of info.



Now this is scary



George Lucas must have known about this Permian Super-organism because it was found in the 1970s. His Sarlacc Pit of Carcoon is very much like this and he did that in 1983, 40 years ago this year in SW: ROTJ



Like I said, I believe it it to be real, there's been so much about it and tell the families of all the people that died that it's fiction I think more people needs to be aware of this one I mean the saying is everything is bigger in Texas, well they ain't kiddin' when it comes to this creature

Wait, wut? Never heard of that before.

Todat's Monster of teh Day takes us to Cannon Beach, Oregon. Cannon Beach is a scenic coastal town in Oregon, famous for its sandy beach, rocky formations, and charming shops and restaurants. But behind this idyllic facade, there is a dark and sinister secret that haunts the locals and visitors alike: the Bandage Man. This is a horrific creature that appears out of nowhere, wrapped in bloody bandages, and attacks unsuspecting people on the road or in their cars.





The Bandage Man is a phantom figure that roams the area around Cannon Beach, especially along Highway 101 and a short road known as “Bandage Man Road”. He is described as a man of average height and weight, covered in blood-soaked bandages that hide his face and body. He smells of rotting flesh and leaves behind pieces of bandages wherever he goes. The Bandage Man is said to appear out of the fog or the dark, and jump in front of vehicles, bang on the windows or doors, or even climb into the back seats or truck beds. He sometimes attacks people with his claws or teeth, or tries to drag them out of their cars. He also has a taste for dogs and cats, and has been blamed for killing several pets in the area.



According to most versions of the story, the Bandage Man was a logger who was caught in a terrible accident at a sawmill. After the Bandage Man was severely cut up, he was picked up by an ambulance that was going to bring him to a hospital. However, on the way there, the ambulance was hit by a landslide and toppled down a hill. When the authorities came to the wreckage, the Bandage man was nowhere to be found.



Usually, someone is driving around in a pickup truck or a convertible when they start smelling the scent of rotting flesh. Curious as to where the strange scent is coming from, they turn around and look toward the back of the vehicle. It is only then that they realize they have a hitchhiker: the Bandage Man. These unlucky teens are then greeted by the sight of a man covered from head to toe in blood-drenched bandages. Often, he is staring directly at them or even pounding on the back of the car. Sometimes, it seems as if he’s just looking for a ride as he’ll mysteriously disappear before reaching the town center.



The Bandage Man is most often said to smell horrible, like rotting flesh, and to be disheveled and covered in dirty, bloody rags, though I believe nowadays in Oregon they just refer to those people as ANTIFA.



If that image doesn't make you believe in chemical castration then I don't know what will.

[BrandonDaCollector]

I didn't think you did and that is one too keep close to remember and lok about often as there's always a new story about it, it's truly incredible I never knew about Bandage Man OK, you know about ANTIFA so then I'm not not gonna spell it like @ntiva anymore

Today's Monster of the day will be different, a double header and it's two of My favorites by Stephen King! First is the Werewolf in 1985's Silver Bullet. I've expressed much about how many times I watched this Grandma and I just recently did with My Mom. He was really the first Werewolf I saw and I have always thought he was so neat so here's this



Silver Bullet has such a great beginning



This poor gal



I posted this last year with the old NWA match!



Here's a carnage count video for additional stuff.



Next up is...



Yep, now earlier I said that the Dracula in the Monster Squad is My fav Dracula of all however, when your talking vampires in general and possibly the count himself none beats The Night Flier IMO. I recall it like last week when it premiered on HBO in 97, I couldn't believe how the movie was

Here's the unbelievable bathroom scene where you see him for the first time



Now you see what he really looks like as well as a bloody air port massacre hell



You see what he once looked liked and that he's quite old reminiscent of the old Transylvania lore



Oh man, I love these
