I’ve been watching horror movies again lately.

I watched It Came From Below the other night. It was an okay movie, but the monster was especially inspiring. For one thing it had the power to leave sigils or runes drawn on the cave walls to hypnotize people into following it. It was also brutal when it came to eating its victims. Sounds like a good candidate for a Dragonbane monster.
