The Gentlemen from Hush were probably the creepiest monsters I've ever seen. Kaldric Send a noteboard - 14/09/2010 04:10:22 PM
Not so much because of their appearance, but the expression on their faces and the fact that they occasionally stare straight at the camera so it looks like they're looking directly at me.
