243. Monsters Like Rent-Free Living

haunted_house_5_by_fairiegoodmother-d5d3xaz

Do you think monsters have landlords? Absolutely not. Nobody cares if we hideous ones suddenly take up residence in an abandoned mine shaft, sewer, or decrepit home. Trust us. No one comes calling to say your rent is overdue. No one. Imagine if some misguided property manager does happen to get the courage up to …

237. Monsters Like Having Only One Name, Like Rock Stars and Artists and Clothing Designers

casper_the_friendly_ghost_logo_2_custom_invites-r8e414a1199b14b83a624f62ab8b29a1e_8dnm8_8byvr_512

Bjork? B-please. She ain’t got nothing on us. Cher – let me “cher” something with you. Prince? You ain’t no prince of darkness. Adelle. Let me A-tell you somethin’. The best, bloodiest, and most bone-shattering monsters have been going by one name for literally centuries. You can jump on the one-name bandwagon if you want …

231. Monsters Like Remote Conferencing

board

Mortals don’t have enough time anymore to make every meeting face to face. Technology is a wonderful tool. Humans can converse with people halfway across the world if they possess the right software. But what if you want to converse with someone halfway across the netherworld? Well, we monsters have a technology for that too. …

230. Monsters Like Pretending to be Your Kid’s Imaginary Friends

others

Why would we do this? First, we get lonely too. Ever since we died, not many people want to play with us. But your kids sure seem to enjoy our company. And second, we want to kill you.

225. Monsters Like Long, Tedious, Dramatic Countdowns

the-ring-girl-meme-generator-7-days-0f7c91

The phone rings and the creepy voice on the other end tells me I have 7 days to live. Um, is that how this works? Shouldn’t you kill me now? I mean, I’ve seen other monster movies, and they always die right away. What’s up with waiting a week? I don’t get it. I guess …

The man who invented Sherlock Holmes believed in us. He is one of the most read authors in the entire world. Oh, and you think you’re too smart to believe in ghosts? You’re funny.

179. Monsters Like Surprising You in the Bathroom

We see you there, looking at yourself in the foggy medicine cabinet mirror. You look so lonely. Like you need company. Ooh. We’ve got an idea. When you open your medicine cabinet, then close it, we’ll be standing right behind you in the mirror. That’s exactly what you were hoping for, right?

165. Monsters Like When Your New Neighbors Neglect to Mention Things

DSC_2599

I’ve been haunting this house for decades, and I see it every time. You’re a cute, young family with a dog. Or a cat. You think you’ve found a nice, structurally sound house in the suburbs. In fact, you got an awesome deal on the closing cost! Your life is where you want it, and …

158. Monsters Like Having Real Estate Named After Them

Asheville, NC, has its fair share of spooks and ghouls. Helen's Bridge is located high atop Beaucatcher Mountain just outside downtown.

Nothing makes the story of a horrific tragedy more frightening than when the location is named after it. Buildings, forests, mountains. It doesn’t matter. By proxy, the place becomes even more terrifying when you name it after some poor, wandering soul. Someone who is believed to have died there by some gruesome circumstances. Someone who …
