Monsters are misunderstood!

Monster films are the safest way of experiencing fear whilst escaping from the real world that the viewer is living in for 90 minutes for so. Escapism whilst viewing horror is the best type of relaxation. 


What makes them a monster to begin with and what if they were respected and treated differently to begin with, would they be accepted into society? Would there be any inequalities, comparable to that related to sexuality and queerness?


We do not need to see the full extent of the blood and gore that the victim is experiencing in films. To hear a squelch or bone crack off camera is far more disturbing than viewing a special effects prop break as the viewer will see that happening and have it explained step by step. The viewer has everything put in front of them and the director relies on squeamish viewers to make a sound of disgust or turn away at the sight. Off camera is more of a shock as the viewer is not sure what exactly is happening, but is considering what is happening at that point. This is far more horrific and longer lasting in the memory. The viewer should be left wanting to know more, rather than have nothing left to know.


I stake my commitment to the monsters and what tame graphic horror can give us as viewers and fans. Whilst doing so we will endeavour to uncover the masked queerness incapsulating horror homoeroticism.
