Name of the Monster

Description

Year of Appearance
      (? = estimate)

Artemis Gang

These three outlaw brothers are cursed as werewolves,
mixing the dangers out a ruthless killer from the Wild
West with the strength, regeneration, and voracity of
werewolves.  On Halloween night, they prowl atop
their equally monstrous horses looking for new victims.

 1869

Beatrice

Beatrice is an eight-year-old girl with black hair and
cold blue eyes.  She wears a cheerful little blue dress
and has a doll with scratched out eyes.  Beatrice is an
evil little girl who is constantly searching for people to
play with.  If they refuse to play with her, Beatrice
has a tendency to blow things up.

1834 (?)

Black Ooze

This goopy substance seems unstoppable as it devours any organic
matter with which it comes into contact.  There is some speculation
as to whether or not the ooze is sentient, as it always seems to creep
upon those who have no chance of escape.

?

Carnivorous Hamburgers

For reasons unknown, the food at this '50s burger joint rebels every

Halloween night and eats its customers as victims of irony.

1955

Cats' Eyes

Very little is known about these strange opal orbs that stare out of

dark corners and alleys.  Hissing voices mysteriously call people

toward them, but no one has ever come out of the shadows to

say what he has seen.

?

Chez Umbrella

It began as a nice enough idea: a restaurant to be staffed by spirits
captured from the Underworld.  Unfortunately, something went
horribly wrong and the spirits took over, seeking to find more
victims to take down into the spirit realm.
Decent food, excellent service, though the price (your soul) is high.

1902

Civil War Ghosts

The Battle of Halloweentowne Creek was a miserable defeat
for both sides.  Rebel cavalry were slaughtered by Union muskets,
only for the Billy Yank infantry to be slaughtered in turn by cannon.
Now, these dead soldiers fight on, warring in the fields outside
Halloweentowne every Halloween night and filling the air with a
deadly crossfire of invisible shrapnel.

1863

Deathmobile

A black and red '61 Firebird painted with skulls and fiery lightning

bolts was imbued with the spirit of a psychotic driver passionate

about seeing just what his car could do.  When he discovered that

the car could not only outrace nearly every other car in town, but

also survive head-on collisions in games of Chicken as well as

take lives easily in hit-and-runs, his addiction turned to utter

madness.  He was killed one night sleeping in the running car by

carbon monoxide poisoning, but his spirit never really left.  The car

still prowls the streets of Halloweentowne every Halloween night.

1971

The Destroyer of Temples

First appearing several centuries ago, the Destroyer of Temples

spends each Halloween destroying holy places around

Halloweentowne.  A manuscript in the Halloweentowne Library

(supposedly written by one of the people brought from the real

world the year he appeared) tells the tale.  A group of monks

were brought to Halloweentowne by a black scroll given to

them by a decrepit old man.  The manuscript accurately describes
the Destroyer of Temples as being nearly twenty feet tall,
looking somewhat like a black, fur-covered humanoid with

bat-like wings and evil, glowing eyes.  They fought bravely, but

were eventually overcome by his sheer strength.  The last monk

fled and took to living in Halloweentowne, where he wrote many

manuscripts about the town.  The fate of the monk is unknown.

1559

The Demonic Shapeshifter

The Demonic Shapeshifter is a vicious monster that has taken

innumerable forms through the years: men, women, animals

(and a teenage girl in 1999).  The shapeshifter often attaches

itself to groups of humans and increases attacks upon them by

the monsters of Halloweentowne until they become incapacitated. 
At that point, the shapeshifter brings in another one of its kind to

possess the incapacitated victim.

?

Destruction

1984 brought one of the most powerful monsters of Halloweentowne

 ever: Destruction.  He appears as a man in a black trench coat

with scraggly black hair.  He spends most of his time walking

aimlessly, looking at the ground.  Whenever he looks up, those who

see his face see the horror of his skin-covered eye sockets. 
Destruction cannot be injured, and any damage done to him only

makes him stronger.  The group of high school students who

came to Halloweentowne when he appeared were given a

prophecy that was key to his elimination.  The students were

slaughtered, and Destruction has walked Halloweentowne since.

The prophecy that hints to the way to destroy him has been lost,

and through the years he has grown more and more powerful.

Destruction was buried in the collapse

of the Haunted Hill House in 2008.

1984

Don Vladdigoli Family

This brood of vampires appeared as a product of bootlegging,
except that is was human blood, not spirits.  They dress as
most gangsters do and travel with tommyguns, though their real
strength is in their vampiric powers.

1931

Dire Elephants

Originating from parts unknown of deepest, darkest Africa, these
monstrous elephants are the pride of the Halloweentowne Civic
Zoological Gardens.  Of course, every Halloween, they go mad
with bloodlust, sprout horrific hardened ivory spikes, and run amok.

1877

Flesh-Eating Flies

This swarm of flesh-eating flies has plagued Halloweentowne
for centuries.

1472 (?)

The Ghostly Knight

Riding a silvery, transparent steed and wielding a lance and shield,
this knight has tormented Halloweentowne for centuries, flying
through the sky and dragging innocents away into the night.

1112

Giant Alligators

Giant alligators are ubiquitous in the streets and sewers of
Halloweentowne.

?

Giant Insect

This prehistoric giant insect was unfrozen in 1958.  It is
nearly seven-feet long and features fierce acidic vomit.  The
insect recently has taken great damage and is blinded and
missing two legs.

1958

Goblins

Larger than gremlins, these reptilian creatures are even more

bloodthirsty, looking to cause pain and death.  They are often

heard in the shadows, making dog-like howls or cackling.

They are known to hate light and fire.

?

Goth Witches

This band of witches wear black and excessive makeup and
often recite depressing, non-rhyming poetry.  They gathered
for an annual Halloween party in the woods near the highway
out of town.  After several violent encounters with people
from the real world, their numbers have dwindled to a mere
dozen.  Note their abilities in creating a fiery dragon’s head
from a bonfire.

1987

Greed

While he has taken many forms over the years, this monster always

looks like an emaciated man wearing worn, barely patched clothes.

He sniffs the air, sensing money and objects of great value.  When

they are turned over to him, he stuffs them into his bulging pockets.

When they are not, he takes them by force.  Then he moves on,

searching out more valuables for his insatiable greed.

?

The Green Ooze

The sewers of Halloweentowne feature many terrifying monsters,
this one being a gelatinous blob that seeks out meat to eat.
It has swollen itself on rats and people to the point it can overpower
most vehicles.

?

Gremlins

Gremlins plague machines and their operators.  They have
appeared several times since the Industrial Revolution and
there are many roving bands of the destructive, insane little
lizard-monkeys.

?

Guardian of the Deadland

The Halloweentowne Municipal Graveyard is perhaps
one of the most terrifying and deadly settings in the city.
It waits quietly under the dark night for new prey like a
flesh-eating plant.  Whenever a foolish mortal crosses onto
its cursed ground, the Guardian cries out at the trespassers
and then summons his unending horde of zombies,
transforming the graveyard into an impassable sea of writhing
decayed bodies.

?

The Invisible Predator

This monster seems to be an incarnation of fear itself.
It seems to enjoy lurking in the night, toying with its prey,
and driving them to madness with crushed hopes and
unstoppable force.  No one knows what it looks like
other than the impressions of its clawed hands gripped
on people who will soon be dragged away, never to
be seen again.

?

The Killer Robonoids

Supposedly created by an evil genius emperor from another

dimension, these '30s style boxy robots are equipped with piercing

red glows from their bulb-like eyes, mechanical strength, and

strange heat ray weapons, in addition to seemingly unending numbers.

1933

The Leprechaun

  (Sham O'Rourke)

Appearing as a short, ugly, red-bearded man in a green suit and

top hat with a shamrock buckle, this monster has haunted Halloween

night for centuries using powers of illusion, hypnosis, and supposedly

teleportation.  He looks to steal all things gold as well as kidnap new

slaves for his mines.  He has been known to barter the lives of his

slaves in exchange for treasure.

1684

The Living Darkness

Akin to the Invisible Predator, this creature is a personification
of darkness and the fear that comes with it.  However, it can
be easily chased away and kept at bay with light.  Be wary,
however, as it can reach out of any corner of shadow.

?

Masked Killer

This tall, broad-shouldered killer comes out every Halloween
wearing a new mask (no one has seen under the mask and
lived to tell about it).  He is killed as easily as any mortal, but
he seems to quickly awaken and begin his rampage again.

1938

Mole People

Dwelling in a cavern kingdom somewhere below Halloweentowne,
these misshaped beings tunnel up to the surface on Halloween
to capture new slaves amid the populous.

?

Mummies

The Egyptian Wing of the Halloweentowne Museum is filled
with these cloth-wrapped villains.  Every Halloween, they rise
from their cases and plague the area of town near the Museum.

1892

Pirates of the Siren

These ghostly pirates pursue treasure in their ragged, flying ship as
it sails across the cloudy Halloweentowne sky.  They cannot be
injured by mortal weapons, though bullets and explosions and clubs
do seem to slow them down.  Fortunately, they are fearful of charms
and prayers, and holy ground is immune to their attack.

165?

Saddie

Ever since the invention of mandatory education, there have been
those in school with whom no one will be friends.  During the year,
Saddie is a quiet, plain girl often found sitting in the corner or
borrowing books from the library.  When Halloween comes,
Saddie seeks revenge on those who teased or ignored her,
making their heads explode in terrible showers of blood.

1871

Scarecrow

This monster stands seven feet tall, wears rags and leather and a
wide-brimmed hat.  His hands and limbs, seemingly made from
unholy wicker.  Worst, his painted face is smeared on the
sackcloth, giving him an eternal, vicious sneer.  Fortunately, he
seems easily enough avoided as long as one does not go near the
Old Windmill (as if he were guarding something).

1755

Sentient Fire

Dating back from times primeval, this fire continues to ravage
Halloweentowne each year, consuming many blocks as it
grows in strength.  It is always in search of new fires to
swallow up and combustible substances.

?

Sewer Mutants

Living deep below Halloweentowne in unspeakable caverns,
these creatures venture up on October 31st in search of new
victims to drag down below.  They are grotesque with gray,
rugged skin, shining, beady eyes, and misshapen faces.  Perhaps
related to trolls of old, they stand at about four feet high but have
tremendous strength.

1800s (?)

Skull Cufflinks

Truly demonic members of fashion, these cufflinks typically
appear as golden skulls with bloody diamond eyes. 
However, they are known to come to life and speak to
whomever they feel will make a suitable bearer.  When
worn, the cufflinks possess the wearer, imbuing him with evil
inhuman strength and a lust for havoc.

1723
(according to
maker's mark)

The Strange Lights

These strange lights appeared along with their mythical brethren
in the perplexing world in the early days of the Cold War. 
They appear at first as harmless specks in the sky, perhaps a
blimp or a high-altitude weather balloon or simply swamp gas. 
However, they quickly approach evilly, shutting down all
electromagnetic engines and freezing their prey in tall beams of
light.  No one quite knows what happens beyond the lights,
though well dissected corpses of cattle or even victims are
found after.

1948

No one is quite sure what this Thing is other than that it is large,

hairy, and takes growling breaths.  Those who have caught fleeting

glimpses of it are frozen in hysterics from the pure horror that seems

to follow the Thing.

Tunnel of Terror

Most carnivals are for fun and games, but this eerie ride takes
passengers along a track through dioramas of haunted settings:
a crone's attic, a mad scientist's lab, a vampire's castle, and so
forth.  Except, of course, that the monsters amid the paper bats
and poorly looped howls on loudspeakers tend to get up and
walk around.

1915

The Wildness Plague

Akin to zombie infection, this plague is transferred by bites or
any body fluid.  It causes the sufferer to go mad with extreme
conditions of every emotion from rage to fear to glee.  While
not lethal of its own accord, it drives those with it to madness
and rioting.

1669

The Zombie Horde, II

There are many zombie hordes that stumble through the
streets of Halloweentowne.  This group was decimated while
trying to break into Halloweentowne General Hospital.
