Monsters are a staple in the horror genre. They predate written history. They serve as warnings about the dangers in the world around us- and the dangers inside us. They scare us, and they fascinate us. They are the first true horrors of the genre.
So, with that in mind, I present a list of five legendary monsters I'd like to see in a movie:
1. Sea Bishop: A sea creature claimed to have been captured in the 16th Century, and presented to King of Poland and some Bishops. It was half fish, and half human. Upon being released into the sea again, it made the sign of the cross and disappeared
2. Gorgon: Any of the Gorgon Sisters. Women that had been cursed with a face that turned people to stone, and a head of writhing, hissing, venomous snakes for hair.
3. Jinn: Arabian spirits that can either be demonic, or angelic. The basis of the spirit called a genie.
4. Minotaur: A man with a bull's head that lives at the centre of a labyrinth that required a sacrifice of seven boys, and seven girls.
5. Yokai: Seductive Japanese ghosts that can either be benevolent or malevolent. Their "true forms" can vary.
So, there's a quick list of five legendary monsters I'd like to see in a movie. What ones would YOU like to see in a movie?
