A little while ago Tim furthered my own thoughts regarding the ultimate monster, the Zombie/Vampire/Werewolf hybrid. Tim speculated that zombies might become frozen during the bitter Hoth-like winters we experience here on the Canadian prairies. I would like to take this time to further Tim’s further thoughts. I think the ultimate winter-friendly monster (if monsters can ever said to be friendly) would be something like a zombie/were-arctic-wolf/abominable snowman hybrid.
If you think about it (but not too deeply) the combination of the abominable snowman and arctic wolf parts would provide the necessary anti-freeze abilities for the zombie part which would provide the extra level of unkillableness for the creature. This zombie-snow-wolf-man would be capable of killing it’s way across the frozen tundra. And how could anyone ever destroy it? A silver bullet to the brain? That might work for the zombie and werewolf parts, but what about the abominable snowman aspect of it? Does anyone know how to kill such a thing? I guess it’s fortunate that the frozen tundra is sparsely populated. But then again if that movie “The Day After Tomorrow” came true then the zombie-snow-wolf-man would be able to spread it’s reign of terror much further. I shudder to think of it.
But you as bad as that monster would be, one could only hope that one never come face to face with a skajaquada.
A zombie/vampire/werewolf would probably be the ultimate monster. Why hasn’t anyone put this into a movie yet? The zombie movies are hugely popular (I’m keen for a zombie movie all-nighter one night), and werewolf and vampire movies are clearly very popular too. I’ve just finished Twilight & New Moon (I thought, they are so popular, I have to read them! Now that I know the basic plot, I can tell fans that I am on ‘Team Jacob’).
Fun video! I like all the Japanese subtitles. I’ve actually never heard of Green Jello. I will have to look them up.
I would think that zombie/were-arctic-wolf/abominable snowman hybrids wouldn’t have much to eat out on the tundra except, what, the occasional arctic fox or something?

I would think being an artic monster it’s range would be greatly limited. At least where most people live. We could just let him have the frozen tundra and everyone could live in warm and sunny places. Shouldn’t be long before he dies off…
“If you think about it (but not too deeply)”
This is the key to the whole post.
And you haven’t addressed the chupacabra yet. Or the Jersey Devil. And what about the Sasquatch?
well i think the post is really interesting and would be useful when we have the desire to scare someone . keep posting
I think i am very close to your imagination. May be you are indicating the global warming and thing about the ice age.
i must say that this post is really useful and it will help us when we want to make anyone feel scary. keep it up
I got to say that adding wolf parts to a zombie would certainly make them much more formidable opponents, whether it be in the arctic tundra or just around town. Personally, zombies have always been pretty low on my list of scary monsters, as they usually lack speed and intelligence, which is why they tend to be so easily defeated. The only thing they usually have going for them is strength in numbers, but if they were more wolf like, this would add a whole new level of danger. Not sure if I thought about that too deeply though…

Thanks for the Post. I will surely make my Girl friend scared with the tips.
You know what would make him an even worse monster? If he can fly and breathe fire. >:)
The type of zombie may determine the creatures ability to survive in sub-zero temperatures.
In older zombie movies, zombies were reanimated dead tissue. In the newer flicks, they are all victims of a disease. So it is uncertain whether or not they died before turning into an infected being. Dead tissue would probably freeze up solid and not be able to move, while an infected creature might still have some body warmth to keep the muscles mobile.
But yes, probably too much thought into the subject.
I think the ultimate winter monster is an immortal vampire who can change guises.
I don’t know if the combination zombie/were-arctic-wolf/abominable snowman would really work. First of all what would happen when things warm up? Would the abominable snowman part hold the hybrid animal back because it would more than likely melt? I think the zombie/were-arctic-wolf combo is great, but you need one more contributing part… Maybe add the vampire back in?

I Think the ultimate monster should be a lady with a million cuts in her body. a bit similar to a zombie but much much much more gross.

I remember having a book about an abominable snowman (and plagiarising heavily from it at school when I was 12 and had to write a story). In it, the snowman turned out to be all gentle and loving and lonely and it was complete crap. They’re supposed to be mean and imposing! Stupid children’s story book.
My cousin just got married and I now know what a real monster is. Forget the abominable snowman, forget zombies. A real monster is a bride whose photographer, groom and father are all late for her wedding. I was afraid, very afraid. Luckily it all worked out but I saw a terrifying glimpse for a few moments.
