Since we were little, monsters were among our biggest fears. We feared the monster in our closet, under the bed, in the woods. We all had our own imagination when it came to our personal monsters, but they were inspired by the monsters in popular culture, including Dracula, Frankenstein, Slenderman, and Bloody Mary.
