Universal Monsters

Deck based off the classic horror movies.

Could use some input; sideboard, substitutions, ect.

Surprisingly quite a bit of synergy in the deck. I had originally intended it to be purely a fun/casual deck but the more I tweak it the more viable it seems.

Its currently missing two major universal monsters: The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and The Creature From the Black Lagoon.

I'm considering using Skaab Ruinator for the creature, and a blood ogre or two for Hunchback, but can't decide where to fit them in.

I've also considered putting in chandra and referring to her as Carrie, though she isn't really a Universal monster, and I was originally trying to keep the cost of the deck low as its a casual/fun deck more than a competitive tourney deck. However the synergy with all the proliferation and the hole she could fill in getting rid of annoying 1 drops would be very nice.

I'm worried as to how vulnerable it might be to creature hate, and how I might get around that.

Please comment/critique/+1!

Not many hunchbacks in Magic I'm aware of. BUT I can suggest for more monster ideas you take a look in the Odyssey set, which was horror themed like Innistrad. There is even a card simply called Childhood Horror
