Via Charles Tan, there’s a list of Top 10 Scariest Filipino Monsters posted by gabi319 over at Listverse. Not really sure about the creatures being “scary” although I like the fact that the Kumakatok are high up there. I’d probably take out the Kapre and Tikbalang (especially after Dayo 
) and put in the Mambabarang and the Pugot. A Mananaggal has too many weaknesses in my opinion to ever win top honors in a scare-fest (compare to the Black Court vampires in the Dresden Files).
I do wish that the author was more consistent in giving attribution to the sources/creators of the images used though… But one thing I’m happy to have discovered thanks to the list is a rendition of a Tikbalang by the awesome Keith Thompson, illustrator of Scott Westerfield’s Leviathan YA novel (which I loved and ought to review soon). He’s even got a little fictionalized, anthropology-style description of the creature to the right of the pic.
