Blog Name: Monster Land
Url: http://welcome-to-monster-land.blogspot.com/
Language: English
Topics: monsters, scary movies, horror
Description: This blog is dedicated to my obsession with monsters and horror films. From James Whale's The Bride of Frankenstein to American Psycho, I have always been intrigued by the figure of the monster and his/her/its symbolic place in popular culture. This blog will be an outlet for exploring the folkloric and literary origins of monsters, film and book reviews, and anything else that catches my fancy.
