Back in the 1930's, one of the original horror themes were monsters, as seen in Frankenstein, Dracula, Dr. Jekylland Mr. Hyde. Monsters are classified as big scary animals; fictional creations that stumble around while scaring people, and sometimes even eating them. Much of this stems from folklore; the Sasquatch monster, Bigfoot etc. And has somewhat disappeared in our modern culture to a more realistic monster: people. These fears were an early showcase of the fantastical times of the early 1900s for America where everyone felt the nation was a land of limitless possibility and amazement.
