This is a favorite of mine, as well. It's surprisingly easy to work some of the tropes and creatures of horror/fantasy into sfnal or pulpy settings, with the right slant. They may not be exactly like the traditional version...but the 'traditional version' is usually a two or three steps removed Hollywood version of some ancient legend, too, for that matter.
