Okay, here's the deal--I hate monkeys. Especially gorillas. Chalk it up to a frightening childhood experience at Showbiz Pizza, but man, they freak me out. So Gorilla Grodd, being a mind-controlling psychic giant talking gorilla is already not on my list of favorite things. But then you read him as written by Geoff Johns, with all semblances of civility ripped away, and...look, I'm not really sure what's more terrifying than a mind-raping giant gorilla with blood all over his mouth who's not only doing his best to break you in half and/or bite your spleen out, but is also sending very real images of him devouring you and your loved ones directly into your brain while growling about how he will feast on your flesh...
Yeah, that's terrifying. All the other Flash villains have a bit of control, most keep the killing to a minimum, but Grodd on the loose is nothing but pure, monkey-flavored carnage.
Monkeys...ugh.
If that's not good enough for Halloween, then, I dunno, pretend it's King Kong or something.
