Thankd for linking up Nora and congrats to the winner :D X
I think I would use the Sirens, the singing mermaids who lured sailors to their deaths. These wouldn't be your typical little mermaid types though. We're talking teeth and claws and evil grins.

I just finished a short story where Lares (Roman good spirits of the dead) and Lemures (you guessed it, they're the mean spirits) are at the center of it. My dark twist? I made a human offering for the baddies. =)
Happy Creepfest from Diary of a Writer in Progress!
I have forests on the brain since we seem to have one growing in the backyard of the house we're about to buy. I think forest fairies would have to make an appearance and not the Tinkerbell variety. I wrote a story about an evil little fairy who has a love affair with a man (it ends badly) called "Fairy Lust and Pixie Dust." It's in April 2011's issue of State of Imagination. www.stateofimagination.com :)

Thanks for the follow, Sue! Welcome aboard.
Hmmm... I tend to make up my own creatures for a lot of my horror, and usually they're blood thirsty beasts who don't care about anything except for feeding their hunger for blood.
I've always liked the Medusa. I could imagine her taking a liking for engineering and developing a giant mirror of sorts to turn entire cities into stone. She's vengeful like that.
I'm thinking of using Zeus as a nightclub owner in Vegas. "Hey, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
I'd write about a unicorn. A voraciously carnivorous unicorn. There aren't enough of those in fiction.
