I was watching Lord of the Rings the other day and was very impressed with the orcs. I think orcs are one of my fave fantasy creatures. 
I like orcs too. Mind you, I like Golum as well, so perhaps I'm a little strange!
Gollum was pretty cool too! I think I prefer the orcs because they're so repulsive and brutish. Like anti-Elves.
Haha. Yes, they are pretty horrible! I must have read those books a dozen times and never get tired of them.
Me too! Even though Tolkien popularized orcs, I remember reading about similar creatures in older stuff like Beowulf. Creepy literature really interests me.
I'm more into murder and mayhem myself, but some of the fantasy stuff is brilliant. What's your fave creepy literature book?
I really like some old Lovecraft stories. No orcs, but lots of twisted creatures. Murder and mayhem are good too - I really like Stephen King.
Yes, Stephen King! Have a couple of his books waiting to be read. Must get more into the fantasy stuff though.
I loved his fantasy/horror Dark Tower series - there are quite a few messed up creatures in that, now that I think of it.
