The world of movie monsters is populated by villains with a tender heart, beasts with a human side, and whatever else the mind can imagine. The rule is that anything goes, as long as it’s giant sized. Big-screen monsters might seem evil on the outside, but often elicit sympathy upon closer scrutiny. They are characters that can be accessorized with subtle allegorical slants or act as sweepingly broad metaphors. Somewhere inside that vampire, werewolf or giant blob of goo is a conflicted soul with complicated emotions. Or, just as often, a killing machine hellbent on destroying the planet. Either way, fun!
