I've recently been thinking about doing a conceptual "Monster Journal" prop using a vintage looking leatherbound journal/sketchbook -
The title will be "A Compedium of Supernatural Beings and Effective Countermeasures: Vol 1"
The book will basically be an encyclopedia (Circa late 1800's/early 1900's) of monster history, lore, facts, and known methods of defeating them.
Along with these facts there will be a personal journal (from the original "owner" of the handbook) in the form of footnotes and memos scribbled along the sides of the pages which recount the "owner's" many encounters.
Probably also add, little paper props as insets (maybe train or ship ticket stubs from a journey the "owner" took to Transylvania, or old photos of of creatures captured on film, etc)
Im planning on doing all of the text and illustrations with a traditional crow quill pen ink method and pencil.
I was wondering if you guys might be able to help out with a list of creatures/monsters that I might be able to add to the book.
I want to concentrate more on classic or European based monsters, and traditional folklore monsters.
While I don't object to certain Greek mythological monsters, I pretty much want to keep that to a minimum.
So far I have -
Vampires
Werwolves
Zombies
Banshee
Sasquatch
Trolls
Mothman
Jersey Devil
Succubus
Incubus
THanks.
