Monsters We Loved
April 1st 2011 00:24
You're watching some B-grade horror flick (well any horror flick for that matter) - pillow planted squarely across your chest in preparation for the next scream - yet you just can't avert your eyes from the screen?
The condition probably requires some student of horror to come up with clinical name for it - but one of the common denominators for the visual apoplexy lays with the lead character - which as kids was usually some kind of monster.
Now, for some reason - while most of these critters were creations to be reckoned with - some resonated with us.
For mine it was Frankensteins' Monster, others it was perhaps a werewolf or even Count Dragula or Yorga.
But there were others - not necessarily associated with pure shlock.
Take Lurch from the Addams Family, Herman from the Munsters, Angel from the TV series of the same name or even Milton from the animated adventures of Milton the Monster.
Misunderstood? Perhaps too many simply copped a bad wrap?
Surely there's favourites to be had among them!
