It seems that vampires get entirely too much attention in movies, television shows, and books. Them and witches and werewolves.

The Dullahan, an absolutely terrifying Irish death spirit. A headless charioteer (although sometimes in a wagon or a cart), the Dullahan carries its head under its arm - the head is the colour of mouldy cheese and sports a Joker-like grin. The chariot is decorated with skulls and candles, and the wheels are made of human bones. A harbinger of death, when the Dullahan calls your name, you drop dead and he collects your soul.
It’s astonishing that no one’s yet made a film of this. Boru

I think centaurs and Minotaurs get an unfair shake. Leprechauns have been done too much as well. I’m liking the direction they’re going with merpeople and sirens but I feel Sphinx and djinn could use an update and more play.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I was personally thinking aliens. The only source I know of is the Roswell books and television show based on those books.
On second thought, would space odysseys fall under the alien category?
