Top Ten Creepy Characters

In honour of the fact that Halloween is coming soon I thought I would do a top ten list. I will be listing characters from TV and movies that I find the most creepy. This is all opinion based so your favourite character may not be here. Let's get started.






10 Marik from Yu-Gi-Oh
I haven't watched this show in a while but from what I can remember it's about as much fun as watching someone play a card game. The reason Marik is so low is because I can't remember much about him. I put him up here mostly based on his appearance. Seriously what is wrong with his face?







9 Manbat from Batman the Animated Series
Batman the Animated Series is a great version of the Batman character. But seriously look at this guy. He is terrifying. I will not be able to sleep for weeks now. And his transformation scene where he becomes Manbat isn't very fun to watch.









8 The Pottsfielders from Over the Garden Wall
Over the Garden Wall is a great TV miniseries. In the second episode the main characters find a town called Pottsfield. It seems pretty normal except for the fact that all the people there are skeletons wearing pumpkins. They all look so uncanny and the leader pumpkin has a really creepy voice. However the reason their so low is that they don't do anything that evil.







7 Puppet King from Teen Titans
I love puppets. Okay, that's a lie. Puppets are freaky. I mostly have the Twilight Zone  to thank for that. And a Puppet that turns people into puppets is supper creepy. We never find out what Puppet King is and they never appear again after that making them all the more creepy.









6 The Summerween Trickster from Gravity Falls
I  hope your in the Halloween spirit. Because if your not your gonna get eaten by a freaky ghost thing. Everything from his character design to his voice is just plain creepy. Also throughout the episode his design becomes more deformed and creepy. Yay fun for the whole family.







5 Sabrina from Pokémon
Ah Pokémon, a world a wonder and adventure.... and crazy ladies with psychic powers who turn people into dolls. Sabrina would be creepy enough on her own but she also has miniature doll of herself. Also, fun fact. The episode she is featured in is the first episode of the show I saw.... Great way to start off.









4 This Guy from the Adventures of Mark Twain
You know that scene from Dumbo with the pink elephants? Imagine that only a million times more freaky. And like the elephants this guy never shows up again. Fun fact the scene he is featured in is actually cut from some TV broadcastings of the movie. It's that terrifying.






3 Giffanny from Gravity Falls
Gravity Falls makes a second appearance on the list. This time for a character that everything they do is just disturbing. Even before they do anything evil their just unnerving. Also towards the end of the episode they posses some animatronics at a Chuck E Cheese knock off. So congrats Gravity Falls you have made me afraid of Anime and Chuck E Cheese.





2 The Beast from Over the Garden Wall
Speaking of shows making a return Over the Garden Wall is on this list again. Who is the beast? What is the beast? What do they look like? You never know and that is what makes them scary for me. It's the mystery aspect.







1 The Other Mother from Coraline
I know I've mention them before but seriously they are scary. Even before she transforms into a spider monster there is just something unsettling about them. You really have to watch the movie to see for yourself. But I think they are one of the creepiest characters in fiction. Happy Halloween.

Hotel Transylvania

It's time for another review. And this time it's in a new format. The movie I am reviewing is Hotel Transylvania. Seems like good timing since the sequel is coming out soon. Small side note there will be some spoilers in the "Plot" section of the review. Let's get started.

Characters: The main characters are Dracula, his daughter Mavis, and Jonathan the human. Dracula is basically every over protective dad character ever. But he is kind of funny. Mavis is sort of boring but they aren't terrible. And Jonathan is actually really annoying and totally X-Treme..... With an X for some reason. The side characters like the the Wolfman, Frankenstein, the hotel workers and the hotel guests are actually pretty funny. Jonathan sort of kills the movie for me. But the other characters are pretty good.

Animation: The animation is the best part of the movie for me. Every character stands out and some of the backgrounds have cool details in it. I also like some of the chase scenes in the movie. Of course the animation might me a bit too cartoonish for some people but personally I really like it. So in my opinion this is one of the aspects of the movie.









Music: There are several songs in this movie and I didn't like any of them. The first one felt like it was written ten minuets before recording. The second one had some very painful product placement for Doritos. The one after that was just mindless shouting that I couldn't even understand. And the last one was the worst pop song I have ever heard in a movie. So if your watching this on DVD you might want to skip the songs.

Plot: The first half of the movie is pretty good. We see how the hotel works and that is actually pretty cool. The plot actually starts when Jonathan enters and he and Mavis fall in love. I get annoyed by Jonathan but it's okay so far. But in final act of the movie is where things get really cliché. We have Jonathan leaving but then he comes back....Gee, didn't see that coming. And towards the end they say the word "Zing" a million times and now I never want to hear that word again. So overall the first two halves of the movie are better than the last





Final thoughts: For me Hotel Transylvania is a very mixed bag. Some jokes work but some are just forced. Some characters I like but others are really bad. The animation great.. Would I watch it again? Probably. Will I go see the sequel? Yes. In the end Hotel Transylvania isn't a bad movie.... But it isn't great either. So I half recommended. This has been another instalment of Keaton on Films.
