To me these type of creatures are not creepy at all, they just seem like offshoots from the Buffy style of vampire and drag these films into comic book territory.
Give me pasty faced vampires in the style of Hammer and ghosts that actually look like dead people.
The Insidious Darth Maul demon was shite aswell.
