Hello and welcome, brave souls, to my graveyard! *grins*
Quite a perplexing thread title, no? But I assure you, you won't need a change of clothes for this "monster mash". If you've heard the song, you know it's actually a dance move! So think of this more like... a cemetery party. A graveyard smash!
But how can you do the Monster Mash without monsters? Well that's where you come in, dear guest! I need for you to design some spooky creatures that go bump in the night. Interested? ;D

In this contest, the only limitation is your own imagination. The creature you create can be any size, shape, and temperament, as long as it is clearly not of this mortal realm (meaning, no ordinary animals with just wings tacked on or something).
You can use any medium to render these creatures; digital art, traditional pencil work, crayons, clay... whatever you like!

Category #2: The Flying Purple People Eater!
If you need a little more structure to your creativity, then this is the contest for you!
Have you heard of the "One Eyed, One Horned, Flying Purple People Eater"? Truly a terrifying, rock-n-roll beast! Many have heard of his legend, perhaps even purchased one of his albums, but how many can say they know what he looks like? That's where you come in!
Think of your challenge here like that a police sketch artist. I need for you to draw/sculpt/sew/ect. your interpretation of this critter. The lyrics describing him are as follows:

The Purple People Eater
Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple eater to me
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater)
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One eye?)
Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One horn?)
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line
He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
(We wear short shorts)
Flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
I like short shorts
Flyin' little people eater
Sure looks strange to me (Purple People?)
And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead
Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head

Until one fateful Halloween where his big sister took him out trick or treating as a ghost. The night was still young when poor George was attacked by a vampire. One that had a warped sense of humor it seems as George's only vampire trait is his wings, one that managed to be torn off when George was stalking one of his first "meals". Accidents appear to be attracted to the ghoulish boy as his eye has been pulled out of its socket and he sports a huge gash across his throat. Since meeting George, I have noticed more and more dead rabbits on my lawn... All suffering from the same injury: heavy petting and strangulation. I've asked George about this and he seems to get a kick out of seeing my reaction when his laughter rings out. I'm being to think I might need to find a way to get rid of him. o.o Here's my entry!:http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...DSCN2619-1.jpg

Their bones are as brittle as a small bird's, so their only real defense is in numbers. The sting on the end of the tail is their main weapon, and holds a paralytic venom with long-lasting effects. Though if the prey has a fast metabolism, it does wear off quicker. They dine only on meat, and most of the time it's still alive when they devour it.

IT'S ALIIIVE! Username: Drakina Description: Once a beautiful, but extremely vain and mean, woman, this being is now forced to see her true nature. An old gypsy woman, only wanting to complement the woman on her appearance, was shoved out of the woman's way, and into a pile of manure. Wanting everyone to know the vain woman's true nature, the gypsy cursed her to take on the form her inner self portrayed. The vain woman changed shape in front of an entire city, the pain of the transformation causing hr to lash out with her newly-developed claws, accidentally killing several people. The rest of the populace chased her out, and she was forced to live in a swamp. She lives on a diet of small rodents and reptiles, hiding whenever anyone enters the swamp, for fear that her horrific countenance will incite an attack.

However, the only way they can suck you in is if you get within a few inches of your drain (Your foot or hand is usually the first thing to go). Their teeth are strong enough to rip through bone and flesh easily, and it's extremely hard to detach yourself from them once they latch on. They may seem small, but once they get a bite of you, it's over! Here's my entry!:http://i55.tinypic.com/2qcjy43.jpg

IT'S ALIIIVE! Username: Fading Existence Description:The Bin-Phon, or Ice Phoenix, was thought to have originated from during the First Ice Age, after the rise of their distant relatives, the Phoenix, during the making of the Earth. Like the Phoenix, their bodies are completely made up of pure element, only with ice instead of fire. They are genderless and near-immortal, their bodies splintering into shards of ice when their time comes, and from the shards, a new fowl is born. Unlike the Phoenix, however, they are cold and distant; they do not care for friendship or love, but will only be loyal to those who prove themselves with power and cunning. They will not hesitate to abandon their 'masters' if they consider him or her unworthy. Wild Bin-Phon are dangerous to all who approach them, even to their own kind, as they are highly territorial and dislike strangers. They have extremely good memory and can hold a grudge to the end of days. The Ice Phoenix's bodies are constructed of countless shards of hardened ice. They are very hard to shatter, the hardness rivaling that of diamonds. This gives them an extraordinary amount of defense and offense strength, although it also meant they are not as flexible in movements as their distant relatives. Their primary means of physical attacks come from their wings, of which every edge and shard that makes up the plummage are razor-sharp and deadly. However, they consider this a lowly form of attack, and prefers to using their magic to inflict damage, shooting sharpened blades and needles of ice, or whipping up a blizzard to destroy their enemies. Here's my entry!:Squawk!!

With its tentacles, it latches onto your hair, first sucking away the pigmentation. The more melanin present, the more attracted it is to the hair. Once your hair has become white, it loses interest and escapes the shower head. With your hair, it pulls roughly to take itself into your ear where it settles and eventually takes over. You will become a prisoner with nothing else but your thoughts to escape with...

This monster is very dangerous because it can suck up anything it wants to and has acid in the black bag hanging from it that melts all solid matter.
No one knows how to stop this thing so your only option if you encounter it is to run away since it cannot hop too far. Here's my entry!:http://i52.tinypic.com/11i2tdh.jpg

he stands on his legs

Yes, there is a little man made out of candy. And no the monster didn't eat him. I did.
I only gave him one wing on the back since he only has one horn and one eye why not one wing?

You can't see it from that angle, but the horn's growing out of the place where the other eye normally should be, and the edge of the socket is like that of a mouth. :P
The patterns on the horn are holes, for the sounds to come out of.
