Some of us can maintain a clearer head then others. When people go and pay money to see horror movies, it…

Mankind has always had a fascination with monsters. That has lead people around the world to create on their imagination, creatures with strange and abnormal characteristics. The different kinds of monsters that can be found in the world says a lot about which culture created it, and can be seen as a reflection of some characteristics of the culture.

I had the luxury of creating my own fun through indulging in horror movies and crime shows, adventuring outside, and allowing my imagination to run wild. As a child I had an insatiable love for horror movies. Jason Vorhees, Freddy Kruger, Leatherface, Scream and Jack Torrance were just a few of my childhood loves.
