As we begin our decent into harsh colder weather, Autumn still remains a season for food hunting before hibernation by some in the winter. The leaves are beginning to color and fall from their roots, landing gently on soft Autumn soil. Prepare yourselves now before the winter chill begins to pierce, or you may be caught out.

Monster in the back of the closet.
Toilet monster.
Trash can monster?

Could probably also include ghosts, though I've always considered them friendly. :-)

So it's just what you knew of as a child? I'd say the Boogeyman is one of the big ones, and similar to the monster under the bed.

However if your assignment can expand to anything, there are things like the Jersey Devil, Bigfoot and others. A lot of this will be regional though.

How about the monster in the closet? Monsters, Inc. style! But I was also afraid of aliens, too. Does that count?

Oh, there are all sorts.  Boogeymen, werewolves, vampires, poltergiests, demons, clowns, ghouls... the list goes on and on.

There's a few more that I can come up with off hand. The Jersey Devil, the chupacabra, the wendigo (this legend is actually pretty cool, if a bit gruesome) the Green Monster (wait, that's a mascot... :P).

Here's a blog that has a few posts detailing New England folklore, if you're interested and think it might help. There's a few "monster" like creatures detailed in there, mostly in October, but a few others scattered through. Some of this is actually pretty interesting, mostly because I know so little about my region.

ghosts likely would be part of it
(alligator in the sewerage pipes, gremlins in the roof, tooth fairy, lepracarn at the end of the rainbow)

I think your essay would be a good read if it talked of classes

"places you shouldn't go/ cant go/ dont often know"
underlying theme unknown => dangerous and bad and your already "IN" the best place currentl and life is like treading a high rope where danger is on all sides - this is reflected heavily in upbringing.

"don't go there - streets are dangerous - strangers are dangerous ... dont trust others ... more to the point many parents say "dont do this" without having the time to explain WHY - which is why the imagination of kids may think of something which would represent danger in that area (and beleive parents didnt want to tell them because they didnt want their kids scared).

Interesting project - as a teacher smart choice to give others as marking would make for interesting reads

Kashatria

basically what I have to really sdo is give a moral behind a different monster. like monster under your bed....dont leave things under there they will get stolen...someting like that...

I think the most intersting essay if you have to choose one monster would be the lepracharn at the end of the rainbow with a pot of gold

that also plays tricks or you need to do riddles

riddle => reward
or effort ( go to the end of the rainbow ) => reward

simply because it gives hope and happiness and promises good things in life if you keep your dreams and focus solid etc.


Kashatria

That is a good idea, thanks..

Honestly, all you've have to do is go to your local video store and walk through the Horror section for five minutes and you'll find every mythical monster, both crappy and cool, on the covers.

Actually I cant, my proffesor already told us we can not base out story of off  a movie so thats out of the question.

Pick a country and then go searching around for some folklore. You might be able to get some form of inspiration from there if you're still looking for a topic.

Kashatria

I have a story started I posted it in the story telling thread, just not sure where else to go with it...writers block..

The creepy house at the end of the block with the psychopath living in it.  Every town has at least one of those.

Yes, I know. I can be wrong. Maybe I'm too headstrong.

Did anyone mention bloody mary? Google that one. Supposedly if you go in a bathroom, dimly lit by a candle or something, turn ten times saying "bloody mary" and look in the mirror, you'll see a dead women.
