A giant, anthropomorphic okra may not be inherently scary, but it&#8217;s definitely unusual and can be seen as unsettling.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Stanford Cardinal (Stanford University) &#8211; The Stanford Cardinal is a red, tree-like creature with a fierce expression that some find intimidating.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Thunder (Denver Broncos) &#8211; While Thunder, the Denver Broncos&#8217; live horse mascot, is majestic to many, the sight of a galloping horse during pre-game ceremonies can be intense for some.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Pirate (East Carolina University) &#8211; East Carolina University&#8217;s pirate mascot has a menacing appearance, complete with an eye patch and a fierce demeanor.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Otto the Orange (Syracuse University) &#8211; Otto the Orange may not seem scary at first glance, but an oversized anthropomorphic orange can be quite unsettling to some.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Big Red (Western Kentucky University) &#8211; Big Red is a large, red, furry creature with a perpetual smile, which can be creepy to some people.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Demon Deacon (Wake Forest University) &#8211; The Demon Deacon has a unique and somewhat eerie look, dressed in a black robe and hat with a demon-like appearance.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Mountaineer (West Virginia University) &#8211; The Mountaineer mascot often appears with a musket and a coonskin cap, which can come across as intimidating.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Blue Blob (Xavier University) &#8211; The Blue Blob is a blue, gelatinous mascot with an unusual and somewhat unsettling appearance.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<p>In the least surprising news of the season, <em><strong>Barbie<\/strong> <\/em>dominates this year as far a &#8216;most popular Halloween costumes&#8217;
