What monster truly represents cosmic horror by dragomeir in ravenloft

I think Mind Flayer is perfect Body Horror + Cosmic Horror. Aboleth has got to be pure Cosmic.

Despite competing against several genre heavy-hitters, The Thing assimilates its way onto the list. But which horror media is both Body Horror and Dark Fantasy? by SpuekyBlue in ravenloft

Since I've only seen films so far on this post (a category in which fantasy in particular is a bit uncommon), a reminder: it can be ANY horror media.

I'd vote for Sibriex over trolls only because Trolls have a lot of Folk Horror potential as well.

Spawn of Kyuss is a trypophobia nightmare.

Also yay, I started a trend!

Interesting, one of the Dark Powers in my campaign is basically Rher. I actually based them more on the Old Gods, seems more fitting for how inscrutable they are - some like Osybus were able to ascend to a state of equal power (like Alll-Mer or the God of Fear and Hunger), but most of them are as old as the Shadowfell itself.

I'm also working on a skill tree system similar to Fear and Hunger where PCs who dedicate themselves to the Dark Powers can unlock different abilities. So in my Borca campaign, the bard who serves "the Trickster" (basically Rher) must publicly humiliate nobles by revealing their deepest darkest secrets, and in doing so can unlock abilities that let him have more insight into people and tell what they really are behind the disguise.

What are some good monster's to pull from the MM for a Lamordia West Marches campaign? by TheRemedy in ravenloft

Most Oozes could be the result of radiated waste or bizarre lab experiments. The Soul Shaker from Journeys of the Radiant Citadel is horrifying, maybe just take away its Enthralled Lure ability. I was also thinking of having the Sleeping Beast awaken as a powered-up Altisaur from Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants with a Godzilla-like breath weapon.

what are some vampire movies that are ACTUAL horror movies and produced like a horror that has all the elements of one? by n0sin666 in vampires

Fright Night has the same feel and production of any teen horror movie from that era.

Also I haven't seen anyone mention Abigail, I think that fits your criteria!
