Happy Halloween!

Hey everyone, I just want to wish you all a

Happy Halloween~!

Today, I am going to have a quick culture lesson about popular western horror movie characters.

Classic Movie Monsters

Frankenstein

Actually, the monster had NO NAME! The name of the doctor who made the monster was Dr. Frankenstein~! But in popular culture the doctor and the monster got mixed up so everyone calls the monster Frankenstein...

The Mummy

This is from the classic monster movies in black and white where an Egyptian mummy returns to life and starts killing the people who disturbed it's rest. Because of the famous mummy's curse.

Dracula

The most famous vampire story which has been made into many many movies since the black and white film Nosferatu.

The Wolfman

The original werewolf movie monster. A werewolf is a human being who becomes a wolf when there is a full moon.

The Swamp Thing

This is a kind of fish like monster man who lives in a swamp.

The Blob

This is a big jelly like blob that eats everyone and just keeps growing bigger and bigger...

Modern Movie Monsters

These days we don't really have many monsters most of them are killers that are in some way superhuman but let's start with the monsters~!

Alien(s)

The 1970s science-fiction/horror movie starring Sigourney Weaver. The most famous scene in this series is when the baby alien explodes out of someones chest...

Predator

This is an alien who comes to Earth to hunt human beings. The first movie starred Arnold Schwartznegger and the second Daniel Glover. It is not really a horror movie but more of an action/sci-fi movie.

And now onto the famous killers~!

Freddy Krueger

This is the star of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies who was played by Robert Englund. It is a story about a man killed by the adults on Elm St. who then returns in their kid's dreams and starts killing them one by one. He has a special metal glove with long knives as claws. As a kid, he was my favorite horror movie character!

Jason Voorhees

This is Jason the star of the series Friday the 13th where a killer wearing a hockey mask kills people camping in the woods and people at summer camp.

Michael Myers

This is the killer in a white rubber mask that goes around killing people with a big kitchen knife on Halloween. He is the star of the Halloween series of horror movies.

Alright I hope you enjoyed this Halloween lesson, have fun Trick-or-treating~!
