Zombies? Really??

Am I the only person scared shitless by zombies? I mean, it's not even funny how much they wig me out. Take a vampire, for example. Fairly easy to kill off. Some holy water, a cross or a stake and it's as good as gone. Werewolves? Easy peasy. Silver. Goblins, witches, trolls...it doesn't matter. All of them have some sort of weakness that's convenient to exploit.

Not zombies.

Zombies are like a plague. They just keep coming and coming. And they--oh my God--breed! Even if you manage to off one, another four are ready to take its place. Also, how do you kill a zombie? You have to blow its brains out, behead it or otherwise smoosh it to smithereens. (Meanwhile, the others are creating even more zombies.) At the end of the day, the only thing you can do in a zombie attack is run.

Run?

Seriously. Is that the best defense you've got for me? Movies like Resident Evil, Sean of the Dead (yes, I realize it's comedy, but still), Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, etc. all pretty much have the same ending. In it, humans don't win. Zombies do. See what I mean now? Zombies are evil and totally worth peeing myself over.

So tell me, now that Halloween is fast approaching, what creature of the night completely makes your skin crawl?
