Okay, it's more of a joke list than anything else, but the concept is solid...why does Hollywood keep churning out the same exact formulas when a bit of imagination and a quick dip into mythology or urban legends might yield something more interesting.

What untapped ideas do you think would make for a great monster movie? Personally, I always thought "candle Cove" would make for a great faux-documentary... www.ichorfalls.com/2009/03/15/candle-cove/

I love the idea of a Succubus movie. That might actually work. Sheri Moon Zombie maybe?

I know I wont find any support for this but I really like Minotaurs. The idea of an ancient minotaur living under a modern city and he wouldn't have to be a mindless animal either. Maybe a pissed off, sentient being.

Like I say, I realize I'm a demographic of one on this monster. No one is exactly calling for more Minotaur movies.

There is already at least one full-length Slenderman movie:

and one in development

I don't think a succubus movie would work; she was a product of a time when sex itself was sinful, as a way for monks to explain away wet dreams. There is no guy alive today who wouldn't at least contemplate death if it meant six months of non-stop wild ecstatic sex beforehand; as such I think it might work as a comedy.

One thing I really would like to see is fairies come back. Not literally, but in the same way that zombies reintroduced folklore vampires to the mainstream. The closest we've seen recently is the Other Mother from Coraline. The Slender Man is a great example of a modern fairy reworked for the digital age, and it shows that there is an appetite for that kind of monster.

Jenny Greenteeth. - English folklore, water hag. I can't really think of too many movies that had a character like this right off hand. Scott's Legend. That's about it. The vampire girl from 'Let's Scare Jessica To Death' comes close ... maybe. I've always liked those stories and it seems like a scary idea.

There was going to be a movie of "The Wee Free Men", which would have featured Jenny Greenteeth, but it fell through.

That's a shame. I'm sure we will get one down the road.
