John from Honesdale, PA says"
"My favorite monster is The Creature From the Black Lagoon, because not only does this monster evoke strong feelings of horror due to its extraordinarily ghastly appearance, but it also makes us feel acertain pity-- it seems in some ways like a hunted animal that faces danger from mankind."
Brian address withheld says:
"What is my favorite monster and why? My favorite monster is the gila monster- It is real, my other favorite monster spelled 'Munster' is Herman. He really knew how to make you laugh."

This nifty little contest comes to us from our pals at Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. They were nice enough to send along some copies of the YA horror novel "The Monstumologist". That's due in stores on 9/22/09.
"This book is the first in a new gothic series by award-winning teen horror author Rick Yancey. In The Monstrumologist, Yancey tells the tale of Will, an orphan who is an apprentice to a monster-hunting doctor. When a grave robber turns over a corpse entwined with the body of an Anthropophagus—a monster that feeds through a mouth of razor-sharp teeth in its belly—the monstrumologist suspects that the presence of one Anthropophagus indicates that there are many others. After making this startling discovery, Will and the monstrumologist begin a race against time to eliminate these monsters before they kill again"
