For me it was sea creatures with tentacles and Jack in the Boxes scared me as a kid. Anything wet or slimy. Mummies I was not a fan of but they moved too slow to catch me. I was never more disappointed actually when I learned that the more famous of the CRYPTIDS did not exist.<br /><br />The creatures in BIG MAN JAPAN are really out there. I have nightmares about even today.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-66187687139216560022013-06-28T10:32:33.265-07:002013-06-28T10:32:33.265-07:00That interesting to say you were immune to black a...That interesting to say you were immune to black and white monsters. I grew up with VHS tapes of the old Universal monsters like Frankenstein, the Wolf Man and Creature from the Black Lagoon, I loved them all.<br /><br />What kind of monsters fueled your nightmares as a kid?Erik Johnson Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184274387021011687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-89061980462476545532013-06-28T09:04:44.865-07:002013-06-28T09:04:44.865-07:00I knew you would know all about this guy.

He was a "evil parody" of the new-at-the-time mascot for the New York Mets.<br /><br />The monsters designs were always the thing I love about these kind of shows because they can be so unique and creative. Baseball Mask is on one end of the bell curve which is silly looking, meant to be taken as harmless fun. At the opposite end you have monsters like Nosakamata, who have more teeth than the Osmond family, and unnaturally placed mouths and tendrils that seem strategically designed to give children nightmares.<br /><br />http://www.grnrngr.com/monsters/pictures/sakamata.jpgErik Johnson Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184274387021011687noreply@blogger.com
