What, if anything, can I determine about an individual from knowing their preferred movie monster?

Asked by Imadethisupwithnoforethought (14682points) October 24th, 2011

Are there inherent character differences between people who fear and are fascinated by zombies and those who would list vampires as their favorite threats? What of those who would list werewolf movies as a particular favorite, or Godzilla like giants?

If someone says that they love “Aliens”, can I make any assumptions as to their fears about artificial insemination?

Please help me if you can to speculate as to what these preferences might indicate about an individual’s subconscious.

Zombies: The person likes survival situations and can picture in their minds how they would survive such an apocalypse. They may even secretly yearn for one

Vampires: The person sees the vampire as an intelligent being, one more sophisticated than other monsters. Vampire lovers may be a bit elitist.

Werewolf: The werewolf lover is an enigma. No one knows what’s wrong with them.

Godzilla: Your standard fist-pumping, testosterone-enraged, violence junky who must have everything bigger, better, and more horrible.

Aliens: This type of person is fascinated with all things paranormal, to include aliens. They get their jellies off on realistically portrayed ghost videos and stories of things unusual.

this is all random speculation

Those who love Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde are bi-polar.

Those who love werewolves are angry, but feel bad about it.

Those who love Godzilla hate Japan, and support the Nuclear-Monster that is America.

Those who love Aliens want to be tied down during sex.

I actually find way more insight by how they choose to see those creatures; knowing if they prefer their vampires sparkly over gothic tells me way more than if they like werewolves more than vampires. Because people who prefer sparkly over gothic are intensely annoying, but probably ultimately harmless. But the people who like gothic over sparkly? They’re the ones you have to watch out for. They’re the ones who’ll get you all hot and bothered, then tie you to the bed, break out the knife play, get their jollies, and then just take off for work while you’re still tied up and unsatisfied.

The one definitive thing you can derive from knowing someone’s favorite movie monster is who/what their favorite movie monster is.

LOL. I feel a self-help bestseller coming on here:The Hidden Truth About Movie Monsters: A Complete Guide to Movie Monsters and What They Say About the Real You.

Well… maybe not exactly a bestseller, :-)

First favorite monster that came to my mind was Gossamer.
Second would have to be dracula.
(So what does my monster choice say about me?)

I don’t think it tells anyone a damn thing, it’s like saying a guy who prefers Minnie over Mickey Mouse must wear a frock in his spare time….it just don’t work out that way, most of the time anyway.
