1st place - Dani! I really enjoyed your reasoning and I've always had a fascination with vampires.
2nd place - SwetaNew! Thank you for teaching me something new, I didn't know about Daayans.
3rd place - Dracul! I agree, she's one of the few characters that genuinely creeps me out 
Runners up: Gummgumm, Terrify, and Teanae!
This weeks theme is: best Halloween villain and it's twofold: you need to both create a doll of it and write a small argument as to why it's the best Halloween villain!
My example is Frankenstein's Monster, the unnamed villain (or arguably victim) of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

I chose Frankenstein's monster because he is the villain born of our own poor choices, deficiencies, and pride. In the novel, Dr. Frankenstein is warned against trying to find the secret to life again and again but he very much has a god complex about it and does so anyway, however he immediately regrets his creation and spurns him. The monster is hurt by his creator's rejection and then society's rejection of him, which causes him to grow violent and seek to hurt others as he has been hurt. The Monster is actually quite intelligent and philosophical and simply seeks a companion like him so that he is not all alone in this world. Dr. Frankenstein initially agrees but reneges on the deal, causing the Monster to go on a murderous rampage. Dr. Frankenstein dies shortly thereafter of illness brought on by his stress, guilt, and grief. His monster mourns him, for even though he was a cruel creator who rejected him, he's still his reason for existence and his only tie to the world he so desperately wants to be a part of. With his creator dead, he wanders north to commit suicide by freezing to death.
There are so many themes in this novel that are applicable to our lives and the world. Consent (at one point the monster asks the doctor if he had asked to be created), rejection by a parental figure, rejection by society, taking responsibility for your actions, going beyond the "bounds" of mortality, seeking to become like a god, and much more that I could write about for pages and pages. If you haven't read the book, this month is a fantastic time to do so, and Mary Shelley deserves more recognition as a fantastic author who literally invented the sci-fi genre!

I chose a vampire. (Sorry for some reason the dracula costume doesn't seem to include the hair anymore and who can afford a dentist ticket for fangs?)
The vampire feeds off of the essence of others, whether it's the traditional vampire who drinks blood (literally the life force of a person/animal) or the vampire who feeds off of a soul. They embody the wish of so many people, eternal life and in most cases eternal youth. However their existence is cursed, for many vampires there can be no life without someone's death, and their life would grow weary as time goes on. Everyone they know and love ages and dies, while they are frozen forever. The world around them changes with time, and yet the rules they have to live by stay the same. They live in the world, but are not part of the world. They must stay hidden, or risk dying. They can not enjoy the simple things that they did when they were human, such as taking a walk on a sunny day or eating what was once their favorite food.
